Waiting

Having a chai waiting for the mechanic. Too lazy to try and do it on my own when there is a mechanic somewhere here.

Great start

Got a broken clutch wire. Luckily I am in Nainital and will find a mechanic to get it changed.

Roads got better

Before Pithoragarh the road started getting better but very marginally.

Jaul-jibbi

Fueling up at Jaul-Jibbi. The mountain in the background is Nepal by the way.

Neighbour

And one of the only two countries we as Indians can ride into Nepal. Castrol rules stated for the ride no should leave the country and since I am a stickler for rules I just waved and am moving on to Pithoragarh.

BRO

The BRO and the awesome roads they build and keep up and running. Rained all night and it brought down a huge tree. The men and women of the BRO were out and cleared it up on a jiffy. Kudos to them

Gori Ganga

Left as early as I could and have been riding for an hour or so. Now beside the raging Gori Ganga.

Pondering

Just pondering on the next few days ride. After tomorrow I start riding back towards Chandigarh so just trying to figure what route to take but I keep getting distracted by the view.

Munsyari

So reached Munsyari that's the end of my riding day.

Breather

Don't have much distance to cover so just found a nice spot to sit and chill.

Cobblestone

Todays route

The road snaking up the mountain is the one I have ridden on today. Just going to go over the mountain no clue about reception on the other end so till the next post.

Landslides

Lots of landslides on the road to Munsiari the road was closed 2 days ago apparently just opened up.

Great roads

I know I will take back what i said the first day and replace it with. All the highways and main roads are really bad. Traffic and the rain have buggered them. These back roads all over Uttaranchal seem to be brilliant.

Monday morning blues

After a great nights sleep and a hot paranthas for breakfast I am on the road again. Don't have much ground to cover today so will take it easy and should be there by lunch.

Chakouri

It's been a long but awesome day on the road. I have gone from awesome valley to another and everywhere the roads just seem to get better. Well found my room for the night its got a great view, a hot shower and maybe some fire water.

Paddy fields

Kumaon

At I leave behind Gwaldham, I have also leave behind the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand and entered Kumaon.
