Hey is it the main highway or a shortcut??
Buddy we are already 14 kms away from the main highway,but yes this si the main road to the clifftop.
About shortcut thing:Haha,the shortcuts on this road are delightful enough to make even a Range Rover cry.
How do larger vehicles negotiate on such road??
Well,I hope you will feel good and shocked on hearing that:-
We spotted even one Toyota coaster bus and a Tata truck at the clifftop and they have also gone through this way only as there is no other road to go there.Rest I have clicked the pics of some cars going there,will post them soon.
Could hear your friend saying Restricted area-- Bole tho??
This time it was the friend who was controlling the bike and I on pillion and those words were also said by me..
There is a lot to hear like:
At 1:13 I can be heard saying "Concentrate on the road..abe yaaar.." because I was terrified...and many more.
About restricted area thing:Its some kind of observatory there with small structures like keck telescopes.Outside was a board saying "RESTRICTED AREA,no entry without permission.Trespassers will be prosecuted" also there were some CRPF camps too at the place.
Ha ha , why were you going extreme left in the end, when there is enough space on right.??
Because in the middle and right were some stoned with very smooth surface while on the left was just slight grass with some soil only.Hence extreme left was quite driveable with about 1 foot wide smooth track which was sufficient for a bike.Rest it was scary too driving on the edge of the road.
That's a nice travelouge Vipul with some really nice pics. And those landslide prone areas looks dangerous. And it was nice to see that you did the trip on a bike.
Thanks buddy.
If these areas looked dangerous then you are about to find the great grandfather of all.BTW,I have missed to click at least 10 such other zones with one being very big.
Near Badrinath is a point where a landslide took away with it more than 20 vehicles last year killing more than 100 people.And every year on-two such incidents happens at that place.
The roads there are narrow enough that everytime there is a traffic jam and you can find small stones rolling down for 24 hours.So how it sounds?
Congrats buddy
,
Really a wonderful trip.. Riding a bike on those hilly regions would be Energetic & Memorable experience.
Thanks buddy,it was really a memorable experience.In fact although half of the body was paining but we had just one fact in our min
"NO PAINS NO GAINS" and hence now I am planning one more hilly trip.This time by my 220.
