  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day7- Govindghat To Dev Prayag Govindghat to Dev Prayag : Joshimath : On Day 7 we woke up early, freshened up and had some Tea & Snacks at the Gurudwara. Deposited back the beddings, blankets, and room keys etc, gave some donation and were all set to start our return journey. As we started our return journey towards Joshimath we had the beautiful memories of our trip and the happiness that we had visited all the places (perhaps more than that) that we initially we thought to visit. We take back some good experiences and some life skills that we learned during the course of our trip. The Day we started our journey back to Dev Prayag, was not a rainy day it was sunny neither, it was a cloudy day perfect for riding the bikes. We quickly rode back to reach the Vishnu Prayag Bridge. The way after that was uphill until you reach Joshimath. You can get your fuel tanks filled at Joshimath or get some fuel at various Petrol Pumps o...

  The 1200+ Km Bike Trip --- Day3- Pakhi-Joshimath To Badrinath and Mana Badrinath and Mana : Joshimath : At the Gurudwara  we woke up early, freshened up, had some tea & snacks, deposited the beddings etc, gave some  donation and started our journey towards Joshimath. We started our journey at around 6:30 am. The way was quite steep and it was raining heavily . The way was quite picturesque, with Lush Green Mountains all around, clouds passing by you and a deep gorge on one side. The ride was just awesome. The road  is steepest as you reach the Vishugad Hydro Power Plant. The road is at its curvaceous best near the Vridh Badri Temple. We kept riding in the rains and again got completely  drenched. By the time we reached Joshimath, it was already  7:30-8am and the heavy rain had turned into a drizzle. We thought that we would have our breakfast at some restaurant at Joshimath and then move further. At a roadside restaurant in Joshimath main market ...

  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...
