  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day8- Dev Prayag To Gurgaon/Delhi Dev Prayag to Gurgaon/Delhi : Dev Prayag : We woke up early, freshened up, had some Tea and snacks, vacated the OYO room and started our journey at around 6:40 am towards our destination, Gurgaon/Delhi. It was cloudy but it was not raining. When we started to ride towards Rishikesh there was a cool breeze flowing. It was fun to drive in the cool breeze. In some time we were driving on the mountains with the Holy Ganges flowing alongside in the gorge. Driving cautiously and enjoying the ride we reached Rishikesh. As soon as you enter the city you would witness the hustle-bustle. The town is always flooded with Tourists and Devotees. Rishikesh : By the time we reached Rishikesh it was Breakfast Time. We thought we would have breakfast before moving ahead. If you wish you can get your fuel tanks filled as you see few Petrol Pumps alongside the road. We stopped at a restaurant namely "Rajasthani Mishthan Bhandar " whi...

  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day2- Rishikesh to Pakhi-Joshimath The day of Landslides : Landslide 1:  We had our breakfast early and started our journey to Joshimath by 7:45-8am. We left Bamboo hut to move towards Dev Prayag. As we moved few kilometers the noise in the bike chain became loud. I had been neglecting it for some time now, in-fact the noise had started at the Upper Canal Road but it was not bad as it was now. Anyways ignoring it we continued the journey. The front brakes had also gone worse, the brakes issue was known but the noise in the chains had aggravated. We had just ridden few kilometers; we had to stop as the road was blocked due to a small landslide. A JCB was clearing the landslide rubble. We had to halt for around 20 minutes before the rubble was cleared. While waiting for the landslide to be cleared we just adjusted and tightened the bike chain so that the noise reduced. We started riding again when the rubble was cleared. Landslide2 :  We had jus...

  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day1- Gurgaon to Rishikesh The Beginning : We started our journey from Gurgaon at around 7:45 am. Yes a late start, perhaps we could have started early morning, but again we laid back, chilled out Engineers have  in our DNA to be just in time. Anyways we filled the fuel tanks on the NH2 (Delhi) and started the Journey on our "Bajaj - Avengers". After a bit of struggle to be on the right path, we finally figured out the correct way. As we started moving towards Raj Nagar E xtension it started raining. This was the start of the rains that stayed with us the complete trip. Our Polybags and rain wear were tested for the first time. It was already 9:30 - 10 am, our first stop for loo and some refreshment was at Raj Nagar Extension.  Driving through the traffic at  Raj Nagar and Murad Nagar we crossed a bridge over a canal, took left from the Murad Nagar Police Chowki to take the Upper Ganga Canal Road. The Upper Ganga Canal Road : The Upper ...
