  • [Photo Feature]: Trip to Pauri Garhwal - Pauri - LansDowne From Delhi - 853Kms

    Some one has said that Tomorrow's life is too late. Live it today, But do we realize????

    How many times you have said this :"My Life is Boring, I need some adventure"
    Me: At Least 365*2*10 times in last Two years since the day i started working.
    How does it feel to wade the shallow river flowing alongside the beautiful mountains with your friends!!! Oh and Yes along with your Bikes too :P ?? Lying in running water...., Resting your head on a small rock... listening to Time of your life by GreenDay, Looking at Vast Sky with your vision surrounded by austere green mountains and Just your Bikes??



    Me: Oh yes now we are Talking
    How does it feel to go into clouds and driving through them?
    Me: Oh , come on yaar i have done it many times when i went to HillStations driving it, What's the Big deal???
    Addition to the above question: Driving through the clouds on your bikes at the speed of 50 when you can actually feel them and the droplets inside???
    Me: :O (Confused Expression) No , never on Bikes, always in car or Bus
    How does it feel to drive through Clouds at the height of 3000mt above the sea level on your Bikes climbing one mountain up and down and then the next mountain standing givingg you one more challenge ??

    Me: [Confused Expression deepens]

    And yes driving through those clouds on a 100mt stretch where on both sides , you have free fall of Kms, Yes!!!! On Both sides, of the Contiguous mountains.
    ME: Whattttttttt??? Thats interesting ride on a Bike!!!


    How does it feel to do Lots of Masti on the Jungle Mountain roads , where you have Gone out of the main highway and later being told by localites that it is a wild animal area which Includes Leopards !!!!

    Me: Ooops!! then while coming back, you must have taken the highwyay

    Hehehe Do you think so , Its just that we didnt have stops often :P

    Me: Hmmmmm!! Thats quite risky if not too much you know , considering the dangerous S curved roads that too while coming down with fear of animals in your mind.
    And last but not the least, While driving downhill the tortuous roads ,you get Roadblock because of LandSlide , Fog comes and the visibility reduces to minimum. Adding fuel to the fire, Heavy Rain starts and you have to stop anyhow and clock shows 1900 hours, daylight gone.You find a shop in the middle of nowwhere , where you stop, but he has to close for the day, as he too has to travel to his village.You have to leave that place in rain and Dark and meander through the paths at the speed of 20 downhill.

    ME:Oh!!! You could have stuck there badly if any of your machines would have broken???Or anything, Roads must have been damn slippery in rains and that too traveling downhill. Man , You gotta be kidding me!!!
    Yes yes we know, That's why the love has grown manifold, when even luck ditched on us, The only one who stood by us was our Bikes and they took us to the road of safety and with loads of teamwork involved. Four bikes travelling at speed of 20 on the trails of each other, Binary system used with horns to convey the messages of coming turns and vehicles as we were traveling on the free fall side of mountains.And worth mentioning the silence of that place, as It was Dead silent (I guess LDF can explain that in better way )

    That was me(Now) revealing the journey of 4 days to the Me(whom i left here in gurgaon)
    The conversation and expressions described are the part of this journey going to pauri from Kotdwar and coming down

    PS:
    4 Bikes
    FZ16 Black : LDF
    FZ16 Red : PP
    P200: Arpan
    FZ16 Black : RIDHAV

    Approved

    Nice article. Interesting format.
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      change is fun: the format indeed kept me glued. And the collages too. some of them could be kept individually.

      Last and no way the least... those majestic mountains. "more is not enough". Great ride. would like to read thru the experiences when one of you elaborates.

          Nice presentation albeit too confusing for someone like me. Waiting for more pictures of Pauri! And I see the first picture is of that small stream that keeps flowing by you enroute Lansdowne!

          Also, since you went to Pauri, I sure hope you went to Khirsu too, 19kms. from Pauri! It's one of the most serene places one can visit. I love Pauri - Khirsu.
          :)

            That first photograph alongside the river looks too enticing. Feel like diving ride in the middle of it with my bike and riding along with the flow!

              Thanks for the replies, Yes actually we went for the trip after reading the stories from xBHP, so i thought for normal roads info and trip experience you can always refer the links which i reffered.
              So just wanted to write in a different format. Will post some more pics of Pauri
              have complete details on my blog here

                Yes that stream came just after duggada, and the way to Pauri takes left after that ,

                Yes we went to khirsu and had nice time over there in park. But we cudnt stay there because of tourist rush in the alone guest house and time constraints.

                            View from Pauri



                            View from Abrosia restaurant in Pauri, The guy there was very helpful and food was awesome too


                            The real adventure mentioned in the first post started from this point when clouds came and the clock struck 1830. It rained cats and dogs 10 mins after this and we were really stuck over there.

                            Awesome Pic from LDF
