                        Day 2,I can't sleep whole night fabulous night
                        "chanda mama" was too bright.I woke up at 5:40am,
                        my aim was to see Sun rise.Straight to bathroom got
                        fresh,When I open the door damn it was still too dark,
                        now what should I do now ok,decide to climb that KMVN
                        tower it was odd feeling,pin drop silence and only sound
                        was created by me and my empty stomach,can see a light
                        of sun on horizon,so deicide to click those only.

                        __________________________________________________ _______________

                        Now Problem after clicking some shorts my camera
                        batteries got empty here,I was totally blank what to do
                        now,I was treating camera as if I was talking to a living
                        being,please-please one more pic.he'll say ok but only one...
                        actually what happen was I put the batteries on charging
                        Day-2 but they didn't charge due to low voltage and I was
                        thinking that they are charging and Sun was not rising up..aagh.!
                        what the.! here I was waiting for Mr Sun lone soul awake in KMVN
                        and almost whole Chaukori sort of in the end after smelling fresh
                        cold air,thankfully Mr Bahadur wake up..I was getting late till
                        now no sun damn what happen to Mr Sun,after waiting hours
                        on tower and getting almost frozen.I decide to leave Sun set
                        as I was approaching my cottage,I saw sun rise take out the
                        camera and start clicking like mad.

                        Time to say bye chaukori,here Mr Bahadur got stupefy
                        after seeing Tank Bag "oh this got magnets" luggage on
                        Pulsi after several kicks she started exhaust was full of
                        moisture water was pouring out as if tap is on.
                        will come back again chaukori.:
                        )

                        __________________________________________________ _______________






                        __________________________________________________ _______________

                        I leave chaukori at almost 8am today had to cover
                        around 500kms in any chance Chaukori to Noida.As soon
                        as I leave Chaukori the route from which I yesterday come
                        was more gorgeous due to sun rays falling on the snow cap
                        mountains it was looking gorgeous no words to explain.

                        __________________________________________________ _______________


















                        __________________________________________________ _______________

                        Again the loose gravel part,after that I saw Fox but
                        he/she was killed by car really very sad.




                        __________________________________________________ _______________


                        Riding down hill was fun full of speed,leans and curves.
                        wide roads,no pot holes ,fun to ride,amazing views.
                        then saw this view of Bageshwar from top amazing view.




                        en-route Bajnath



                        __________________________________________________ _______________
                        Reach Bageshwar from here I have to go Bajnath which
                        was 25 Kms but the roads of Baijnath was pathetic full of
                        pot holes,I was flying on those roads,because I have to
                        cover huge distance.


                        Bajnath



                        Now time to reach Kausani which was around 35km,as
                        Kausani was on high altitude so had to climb up,but one has
                        to be very careful on turns here because Bus drivers drives
                        like mad.Kausani definitely offers the best view of the Trishul,
                        a group of three Himalayan peaks but from Kausani you also
                        get a grand view the eastern peak of the Nandadevi and the
                        Panchuli group of mountain peaks.Kausani is located at a
                        distance of 53 kms from Almora and 110 kms from Nainital.


                        Kausani







                        Here I fell off the bike,I was thinking that I haven't
                        fell off the bike once in whole trip and then when I stop the
                        bike and put the side stand there was no road Beneath
                        the side stand and 2 quintal pulsi fall down and I was like
                        nothing can't pick it up I was sweating like hell in cold climate
                        and what camera's batteries were disturbing me,but in the
                        end no lose,I was successful in picking up the Pulsi after
                        that I stop for my brunch at Kausani.Best time to visit Kausani is in Monsoons




                        Route to of Someshwar was class awesome road no traffic and amazing views

                        en-route Someshwar








                        en-route Ranikhet










                        MY RIDE WAS RUNNING ON RED BULL "R" IS MISSING RED BULL COMPLETES THE R










                        Reached Ranikhet it was 2:30pm and was going
                        good perfect according to time but now camera was
                        totally exhausted no chance of getting pics of golf
                        course.Ok blast of to Nainital rout was amazing but
                        bit scary.





                        Nainital yo! it was 3:30 when I reach there and can
                        see some beautiful Dipankar Da Aravallis hmmm..
                        sorry Dada had too.! sexy bas ki aankh.
                        some amazing shorts.














                        Now en-route Kaladunge best
                        route for nanital full of amazing views









                        this was the last click of whole trip from here I become
                        rocket and yes can't forget I rode around 10kms engine
                        off and still I was reaching 60-65 top speed for more then
                        340kms I rode continues my shoulder were in pain but had
                        to reach home before road become truckers paradise.after
                        throttle locking at 100-110kmph I reach home before
                        9pm at home 5 hours to cover 340kms. +
                        riding like a moto GP rider on hill was my dream come true.


                        Total distance = 500kms

                        Highest speed attend on Mountains = 95-close to 100 kmph ( Almora Highway)
                        PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS ITS RISKY everyone has its own style of riding.

                        Total expense = 2000 Rs

                        Total trip distance = 1100 Kms


                        Learnt lot from this solo ride of mine,

                        -How ride in hills (by following road signs,How to ask way from truck,buses,car)
                        -How talk to locals and mainly to the guest or other visitor
                        -How to spend
                        -Time management
                        -Route selecting
