      • Journey from Jaisalmer to Jaipur

        Indeed the food beats any 5* hotel food & I guarantee that. Simple, yet very very tasty. They said, its partially a desert food.

        Somethings are best left when incomplete

        From Jaisalmer to Pokhran there isn't much pics as it was dark when I left; started from Jaisalmer at 5:05 & reached Pokhran at 6:15 which was nearly 100 Kms. Refuelled at Pokhran & when I took this first pic it read 223 Km to Bikaner at about 6:45 AM











        And this one I took was about 18 Kms to Bikaner & the time was 8:38 AM


        It took about 2 hours for me to cover over 205 Kms; The point is that the stretch is so empty, so empty that I was only cruising & I only shoot upto 137 only once for few seconds & most other times I was only cruising & enjoying the ride. All the above other shots were shot after I couldn't resist much stopping to take few clicks.

        These are after Bikaner towards Jaipur...







        This almost completes my trip; with a very few more pics to add. Like I said earlier, Jaipur is one place that I didn't like much as its like none other than big metros which I didn't expect. Also, a very good friend of mine Jaideep & his Wife from Gurgaon had drove down the same night when I reached Jaipur, just to see me To me its a great thing as he drove his Nano over 220+ Kms one way just to spend few hours with me. So we kept talking, talking & just talking the entire night & then we caught up few hours of sleep. Then I got my C250R serviced & then left Jaipur to next day morning, which is Monday morning. Original plan was to ride from Jaipur to Ankaleshwar which was suggested by one of my friend who's considered lord of highways, inspired by him, I rode till Mumbai & another good friend of mine took care of me.

        • ^^ anytime man.. it was totally worth it!!!! ill post some pics of the Nano damage as well!!! ( hit a dog on the highway... rather the dog back tracked and hit me... For all the animal lovers ( including me ), the dog was fine and ran off the highway, sadly cant say the same for my car )... But talking till 7 in the morning was awesome.. No exhaustion nothing till we really got worn out..

          • Then started the ride back from Jaipur to Ankaleshwar. I rode through some beautiful roads & here're some pics. But instead of landing at Ankaleshwar I turned to Mumbai. Since I stopped very little, I could only take few pics. These are between Nathdwara to Udaipur bye-pass







            And here's the road to GJ from RJ at the border





            and then I landed up at Mumbai

            Coming up next...

              • Around Mumbai

                Anyone visiting Mumbai should try this place called Samrat, such a lovely GJ food they serve; here're some last set of pics around Mumbai...

                • The last set

                  This is the last set of pics (unless someone needs any specific pics from any city/roads) from Mumbai; during my return leg, I couldn't control my temptation to stop & click around Belgaum. Such a lovely scenery, such a lovely scenery!!!

                  • The End

                    Like my friend says, I rode all way from a few hundred Kms to Srilanka to a few hundred Kms to Pakistan. Looking back at the early morning of Saturday 3rd Sep 2011, I couldn't think if I could do it, all I'd in mind was a simple step to ride from Chennai all way up to Pune to meet few friends. Friends who're beyond & belong to this forum made a memorable stay there.

                    In the last 12 days, I'd been riding on hot sun, pouring rains, dry & scenic national highways, state highways, through villages, unpaved roads, forests, hills, mountains, twisties, straights & desert. When I started off, I had absolutely nothing in mind as what to expect & what to do, its all the way my friends who helped me stay with them, cross the city, treated with lunch, paid for me directly & indirectly. Thank you my dear friends



                    until next time...
