Day3:
It was 4:15 AM alarm clock of our cell phones broke the silence, we got up and quickly wrapped up our routines, packed our bags. i topped up the engine oil, checked my bike throughly. its 5:10 and we are ready to roll, i tested my bike again before rolling. i went ahead and moved the barricades to make way for the car and fellow bike. We were all happy and joyful said good bye to Badrinath. After covering 5kms approx i found my bike not helping me out at turns, just to confirm i asked Amit to check my tires, i got a positive reply from him, but a two three turns i was nodding my head as i knew something is wrong. I stopped my bike and checked it on my own and to my surprise i found a deflated rear. I was badly pissed off, i asked Amit to give the foot pump so that i can fill some air into it, but he gave me surprise and said i forgot to carry it with me.
Temple on way back:
Downhill that helped me alot:
Me Riding with a Deflated Tire:
Stopped in front of a closed puncture repair shop:
I was angry but it was my responsibility to carry my stuff, i cannot blame any one for this and thats the rule of biking (Every man for himself). i Decided to move on as it was a decent downhill till Devprayag where i can find a puncture wala. I kept riding in a slow and steady mode, as i had enough pressure in tire to take my to my primary destination. I was not happy with my careless behaviour, i was at fault, Kunjal and LP da has told me to carry a punture repair kit with me and my belief on my fellow rider took me down for the next 15kms i rode with a bad mood. Thanks to the surrounding that helped me cover that 15 kms in an calm way. finally we were at Devprayag, we found a puncture wala, while he was fixing the tire we decided to have something for our empty tummies.
Under repair, again people surrounding us as they had never seen a punctured tire before:
The really Hot maggie:
Amit placed order for three maggies, it was dran hot and blown our fuse, to help it out we ordered some eggs. The puncture was done our tummies were filled it time to move out, i paid Rs.50 for puncture and 250 for three maggies and eggs. I again decided to lead the way back, i was a bit scared as this time we were riding on the valley side. i thanked god for a beautiful trip so far and prayed to make the rest a safer one. The road was amazing, with my headlamps on it was easy for me to overtake slow moving cabs. perfect control shown by me on my bike i was impressed by myself. 20 kms for Joshimath, as the uphill started again the road became narrower and me more focused. Half hour of joy ride and we are in Joshimath. The Car was waiting for us, i explained the whole scenario. With few more clicks and we were again rolling.
narrow Uphill strech:
With the good road condition making our souls happy and hands free on throttle we were riding like morons. We rolled and stopped at every 15 to 20 kms for photo stops. In this hustle we over took three cabs more then five times the driver of those cabs were getting frustrated of us.
The red cab:

Riders paradise:
Even we were surprised with these creatures:
At Karanprayag:
Angry youngman:
As we cleared Karanprayag from where roads separates out for nainital and shrinagar, Amit came up with a plan. He wants to go Nainital i too want to join him but i was more concerned about the car people as i know they wont be joining us, i took out the map, inquired the cops for distance stuff from this point all our destinations were at same distance (+-50kms). I tried my level best to convince the two parties (one for Naini and second for Rishikesh) to agree upon a common destination, i suggested them lansdowne as non of has seen that place but i failed that broke the group into two. But i was able to convince the corsa guys to head towards lansdowne. Amit and Karan went to Nainital and we four one bike and a car headed for lansdowne. So our next stop was Shrinagar with the beauty of nature around me i was moving like a hell keeping my focus on road, but from inside i was not happy because i don't want Amit and Karan to take separate route. At Rudraprayag i Stopped at a Bajaj service station for a formal bike check up, i was waiting for the car to arrive as i was done with my bike the car was there. we again moved and shit my rear was out of air again, it took me 30 more minute to find out puncture repair shop and get my tire fixed again. So things were not happening the way i wanted them to, we kept our wheels rolling towards Shrinagar. At Shrinagar i stopped at a confectionery i asked him the way to Lansdowne, the guy showed me the route map, after 15 minutes i was joined by the car buddies. Again they put some stuff into their empty tanks, and we are off to lansdowne. The road to Pauri was too twisted, heck of a road to ride what ever i had ridden till now was nothing, i was too happy riding on this stretch.
At Pauri moto_ashu offered me some rest and took my bike, i rested till lansdowne which was 56kms away from Pauri, and thank god the road after Pauri was hell all broken into pieces Moto_Ashu was all covered into dust looking like a sandman.
Lansdowne:
when we reached Lansdowne all my fellows were glad that our decision to be here was good. It's an fantastic place to be at small cute town, but surprises were waiting here for us. As we start to look out for hotel we got negative replies from every door, No network coverage for us hence no communication was possible. Finally after a two hour long search we were able to find two rooms decent enough for us. We parked our M/C out side and had a great time there. The time we spent there was rocking, few rare moments with friends that every one want to have.
