The Road Trip - Audacious Mile

Some one has said that Tomorrow's life is too late. Live it today, But do we realize!!

How many times you have said this :"My Life is Boring, I need some adventure"

Me: At Least 365*2*10 times in last Two years since the day i started working.

How does it feel to wade the shallow river flowing alongside the beautiful mountains with your friends!!! Oh and Yes along with your Bikes too :P ?? Lying in running water, Resting your head on a small rock listening to Time of your life by GreenDay, Looking at Vast Sky with your vision surrounded by austere green mountains and Just your Bikes.

Me: Oh yes now we are Talking

How does it feel to go into clouds and driving through them?

Me: Oh , come on yaar i have done it many times when i went to HillStations driving it, What's the Big deal???

Addition to the above question: Driving through the clouds on your bikes at the speed of 50 when you can actually feel them and the droplets inside???

Me: :O (Confused Expression) No , never on Bikes, always in car or Bus

How does it feel to drive through Clouds at the height of 3000mt above the sea level on your Bikes climbing one mountain up and down and then the next mountain standing givingg you one more challenge ??

Me: [Confused Expression deepens]

And yes driving through those clouds on a 100mt stretch where on both sides , you have free fall of Kms, Yes!!!! On Both sides, of the Contiguous mountains.

ME: Whattttttttt??? Thats interesting ride on a Bike!!!

How does it feel to do Lots of Masti on the Jungle Mountain roads , where you have Gone out of the main highway and later being told by localites that it is a wild animal area which Includes Leopards !!!!

Me: Ooops!! then while coming back, you must have taken the highwyay

Hehehe Do you think so ;), Its just that we didnt have stops often :P

Me: Hmmmmm!! Thats quite risky if not too much you know , considering the dangerous S curved roads that too while coming down with fear of animals in your mind.

And last but not the least, While driving downhill the tortuous roads ,you get Roadblock because of LandSlide , Fog comes and the visibility reduces to minimum. Adding fuel to the fire, Heavy Rain starts and you have to stop anyhow and clock shows 1900 hours, daylight gone.You find a shop in the middle of nowwhere , where you stop, but he has to close for the day, as he too has to travel to his village.You have to leave that place in rain and Dark and meander through the paths at the speed of 20 downhill.

ME:Oh!!! You could have stuck there badly if any of your machines would have broken???Or anything, Roads must have been damn slippery in rains and that too traveling downhill. Man , You gotta be kidding me!!!

Yes yes we know, That's why the love has grown manifold, when even luck ditched on us, The only one who stood by us was our Bikes and they took us to the road of safety and with loads of teamwork involved. Four bikes travelling at speed of 20 on the trails of each other, Binary system used with horns to convey the messages of coming turns and vehicles as we were traveling on the free fall side of mountains.And worth mentioning the silence of that place, as It was Dead silent (I guess LDF can explain that in better way :p )

That was me(Now) revealing the journey of 4 days to the Me(whom i left here in gurgaon)

Yes , Now Lets have a boring talk about the Trip :p . We left the prosaic life of gurgaon early morning, Reached Kotdwar in afternoon. On the way crossed beautiful road surrounded by feilds, Staright road with very less traffic. So we all touched 100+ there :).
From Kotdwar we reached Lansdowne, after spending some time their, we came back to Kotdwar as there was no room available in Lansdowne. Next day, morning the newspaper shop guy opp to the Hotel told me about Pauri. He said, "Sir Ramneek Jagah hai jaroor jao".

So i took the map from Him and convinced everyone for Pauri (Okie okie PP did, I did'nt as per the afreement ;) ). It was 108 km of mountain road and the guy there told ki "Sir jyaada hojayega Bike pe". But being a typical human being, we ignored it and convinced ourselves to go there. The road was awesome till satpuli. But With lots of curves and it was like driving in heaven. We had Lunch at Satpuli and then asked the way to Pauri.

The localites there told us to take the Jungle route as the construction was going on the highway. So we took their suggestion and started the journey. We drove uphill till 3-4 Kms and then downhill to a Solid Iron bridge and a beautiful river.
There We asked the way from a official Jeep and he told us to take right from the bridge and he told sir the way is very good and beautiful but it is Jungle. But me and Ap ignored it.

The initial 3-4 kms was very bouncy road and as we were going uphill and there were few S curved roads with inclination of 30-40 degrees (Yes not exaggerating). But somehow we gathered all the courage and moved on. After reaching at least 20Km uphill the road was very narrow and it was very scary. The road there was just enough for the car and it started drizzling. We took shelter in a small shed. After leaving that place, the journey was again downhill and it was Stunning Beauty. Similary we crossed at least 3 mountains going uphill and downhill and reached Pauri finally.

The conversation and expressions described at the start, are the part of this journey going to pauri and coming down :)

Pauri is a non commercialized hill station , where you can see longest range of snow covered Himalaya.

But the Adrenaline rush we had on the way going up and coming down leaves all other experienced meager in front of it.

This was undoubtedly the best trip of my life (Not Just because i reached home safely) , But because the feeling of ennui that was created because of continuous working was completely gone. This trip had everything in it , the excitement, risk loads of adventure. It was complete masala movie.

And the smile we had on our faces when we reached back home was none less than the smile of someone who had just conquered the world or won an Oscar (cant say nobel prize as nowadays even obama gets it :P )
