9 din Uttarakhand in

Destination me Kya rakha hai boss - It’s the journey that matters!

While we did plan not to ride in the dark, but who cares about the plan while travelling!! This was a feel good 10 minutes halt we took for tea and we started talking to some locals. We were asked not to miss the #Panchachuli base camp if we’re spending more than a week in Uttarakhand, but since we hadn’t done our research for the same, we could not cover it, and "I’m always happy to leave places for the next time - it adds up to the motivation!!" This video is a raw footage of how we felt on finally reaching the hills after the 6 month COVID restrictions. It was sheer Happiness😊

PS - the bikes were looking so cool with the hazard lights on🖤

Day 2 - The Mukhteshwar sunrise🔥🔥

Being out first encounter with the trillion stars, we sat out in our balcony till 4am, slept for a couple of hours and did wake up at 6 because we had promised our viewers to show the perfect sunrise.

Reached the top of the Mukteshwar Maharishi temple known for its tranquil and calm environment through the 10 minutes forest hike, only to realise the view faces the west (ho gya popat).

Came down from the temple and while heading back to our hotel, saw this isolated place where Uttarakhand public transport busses were parked. Within minutes one of the drivers was convinced that we’re professional bloggers and let me mount my set-up on the roof of his bus 😍

What happened in Pithoragarh - we finally got into our room and on the next room and teh guy staying in the next room seemed to be super-friendly (a little more than that). He even started calling on our desk-phone and it got real creepy when he bumped into our door asking us to chill with him, inviting us to his room and on being said no self inviting himself to our room (which obviously we could not let happen).

Free tip - They say its good to make friends with strangers while you travel alone - Don't!! Its dangerous! especially when you're travelling to off-beat locations. You clearly don't want to get yourself Berlin Syndrome'd.

Somehow we got rid of him (he even tried to bother us in the morning - super!) and planned our itinerary for the next day considering there were some issues with the bikes.

Despite all the hick-ups, we finally embarked our journey towards Dharchula and we were super excited for the panoramic view of India and Nepal cut in two by the river flowing in between. last couple of hours' ride was alongside the river Kali and right across the river was Nepal throughout our way. We reached Dharchula little past 8 p.m. and being a small village, there was nothing much to explore at that time. Next morning i took my bike and to the top of the hill and sat there as the sun came up.

Another day Another ride!!

Certainly we could not have enough of Dharchula, and even the bridge that connects the India - Nepal bridge was shut due to the Geo-political tensions between India and Nepal, we had to move and go on to our next destination "Munsiyari". Super excited from the morning itself as we knew this was going to be the most adventurous day of our trip and we will be experiencing abundance of water-crossings, waterfalls and off-roading all along till Munsiyari.
