Pune-Leh-Pune bike trip

Image
After biking for 20 days across nine states in extreme rain, heat, cold and altitude we returned yesterday with a lot of stories and lifetime experience! I thought a lot about how to pen it down on this blog and have decided to make it partly as an everyday account and partly categorise the experiences into some heads -which would make it more interesting and informative to those who are planning a similar trip. Part I consists of the journey from Pune to Manali and the return journey from Ludhiana to Pune. Part II is all about Manali to Leh road, information about our stay, various experiences and so on... Hope you enjoy the read and feel free to make a comment...I mean it as I have removing the moderation setting for comments. Here it goes: The planned route has been published in the previous post, but we faced difficulties (details given below) in following it. So the actual route that we took was June 11 -Pune to Vapi (292 kms) ...fell short in covering the distance bec...

Part 1 -Everything about Pune to Manali and Ludhiana to Pune

Image
THE START June 11 -Pune to Vapi (292 kms) We began the ride from Aundh at 7 am. Our friends -Ajay Kolhatkar, Rahul Nagpure, Ketan Pasalkar, Aniket Sawant and my parents had come to see us off. (Read -to make it an emotional departure)  Moms   (from left) Aniket, Ajay, Chaitanya, Ketan, Sagar, Rahul, Tejas and me    And we started the journey...  It was raining heavily all through the day. As we reached Panvel, our bike got punctured because of a five-inch nail. Thankfully it was a tubeless tyre and not much damage was done; although we spent about an hour looking for a puncture wallah to mend it. (We were carrying the puncture kits, but did not want to do it ourselves in the heavy rains). It was about 10.30am when we left from Panvel after which we stopped at 1.30pm at Ghodbunder road for lunch. We were completely wet and the raincoats proved inadequate in the heavy rains. By then, we had gotten used to it and did not care much about the mess. That da...

Kumaon stories part I: Askote -When the king hosted us

Image
An Introduction King Bhanu Raj Singh Pal -the ceremonial King of Askote with Tejas Askote was one of our most awaited destinations during the Uttarakhand -Kumaon roadtrip. It is a small village of about 2500 people, 30 km from the Indo-Nepal border. The main attraction here is  the Jauljibi mela -a 103 year old market where traders from China, Nepal, and India come together to sell their goods and the confluence of Kali and Gori ganga rivers...not to mention the mesmerizing mountain views. While planning, Yogesh Sarkar of bcmtouring.com suggested that the current ceremonial king of Askote -Rajwar Bhanu Raj Singh Pal offers accommodation. We called him up and he agreed to give us a room. He refused to take any advance booking amount and reserved the room for us on just  sending our name and address. No details of the accommodation -photos, description, or first hand experience were available on the web. And we were too awkward to ask the king for pictures or th...
