      This sounds like a good thread! Will keep an eye on it.
      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        See if you can trek upto Gomukh.
        Valley of Flowers is always one of my favourite destination but never been to that place but I will be there for sure.

        The option of train is defnitely out.It will almost take the same amount of time but the option of flight is still open but there are lots of ifs and buts.

        Budget constraint is one of the reason but the biggest problem will be to book the bike here as I will be very very busy till 15th October. To add 17th is Diwali so even getting the bike back in Delhi will be cumborsome.Need to check with Gati guys and all.Let's see.
