Hi Guys,
A friend of mine - Aditya Puri is traveling on his very first bike expeditions and has already left Bangalore this morning. Since this is his first exploit, I want to make sure that he is given the latest information when it comes to weather conditions and the state of roads.
Aditya is planning a 5 day trip to get to Darjeeling on his Thunderbird TS. After which he is attending a 15 day mountaineering course followed by a 15 day mountaineering expedition. He would then be riding back to Bangalore. He did mention that he tried getting information from xbhp but he wasn't sure if he got the latest information. As a fellow biker, I thought it is a part of my responsibility to do my bit to help him out on this journey.
I request all xbhp'ians who might have traveled this route or might be living around places in this area to give me a clear idea on the weather conditions and road condition. Also I must mention that he has already set off on this journey, a big deviation from the route will not be possible. Today is day1 of the travel itinerary mentioned below. I will be calling Aditya every evening and updating him based on your input.
The following is his mail that was sent to me:
This is my basic plan,the original. I got 3 spare days in hand. Have to be there only by 17th.
Day one. tomorow:
NH4 :blr-kolar-chitoor-tirupati
get onto nh5 nellore-guntur-vijaywada 633km
Day 2
Vijaywada-tuni-vizag ganjam - bhuwaneshwar. this is 800km. probably with stop between vizag and bhuwaneshwar.
Day 3 500km
Bhuwaneshwar- cuttack- kolkata.
Day 4.
rest and service if required.
Day5 600km NH6
Kolkata- Malda- siligude- darjeeling
All packed and set here.. will leave in a few hrs..
If u know people who have been on this route, would love to have some feedback and suggestions.
