No rides since the new year eve's ride in Himachal had made us restless and the fact the last one ended in a crash didnt help my confidence either. With the mercury rising and the humidity levels crossing comfort levels in Delhi, an impromptu decision was taken to go for a camping ride over a weekend. A lot of destinations were considered and rejected due to distance, camping site, altitude, etc. factors and finally we had zeroed in on Hatu Peak near Narkanda, Himachal Pradesh.

I had been to Hatu before in 2007 with a friend in April and though its a nice place I never thought of a camping trip there. However, Ashwani Khanna's (from 60kph) ride a week earlier revealed some nice vistas of snow capped surrounding peaks and the altitude of 3300 metres above sea level was good enough for us to go for the ~900kms in 48 hours ride.

3 of us, Veeru, the Misus and self went for the trip and had a great time there. We didnt click any photos on the way to Hatu neither we clicked any while riding back to Delhi. All the photographs were clicked while we were in Hatu.
