Prelude

I had been suppressing the urge to connect with the inner philosophical self, for quite sometime now. It was only in November 2006 that I went for a 7 day ride which can actually be called a roadtrip (2885 km trip to Rajasthan – See Here ). A few short rides on and off could not really feed the wanderlust anymore. And so I knew, it was time for another roadtrip. The heart’s deep rooted urge to find the Land’s End one day might be a hallucination of the imaginative mind…But then this is something I wanna live for…


I had set my plans for a ride in the Kumaon and Garhwal valleys in Uttaranchal this time and definitely wanted to visit Ranikhet and Lansdowne. So my initial plan was to cover Nainital, which definitely had to be in the route-chart to reach Ranikhet; then visit Jim Corbett National Park and then finally going to Lansdowne. However, only 24 hours before take-off, I called up at the Jim Corbett to find out a few things and concluded that a 4 hour jeep safari wouldn’t be worth the money and specially time i.e. one whole day, which I would have to spend. Visiting Jim Corbett is really cool if you stay there for 2-3 days within the jungle in the camps and its then that you can actually sight something worth calling wildlife…In 4 hours you would not even sight a deer!!


So I didn’t know what exactly the route must be like… And hence I thought lets do something unplanned…I was sure of the first 2 days plan but what happens on the 3rd and 4th day was only known to God..!!
