Thanks! Yes, it was a solo trip. I took my friend’s bike. I don’t think the V Strom is available for rent in India at the moment. Your plan - I actually did that. Got a bike after my probation in Infosys was over, 5 months after I joined. The same year, I went for my first Himalayan motorcycle...

Video from the Roghi - Kalpa road. Beautiful views, but very narrow, with vertical drops. Sent a chill up my spine:

Some more from that day: Shimla, the state capital, afar from night shot from my hotel:

Stretch of road prone to landslides. Around 200 kms: Moreover, this road is important to maintain from a national defense perspective because it touches borders arears and has strategic significance.

Thanks Thanks Shane. There wasn't a risk of no gas station. Within a 50 km radius, there was at least one gas station, after I crossed Shimla (which is the capital city of the state of Himachal Pradesh) The risk was whether or not the gas station would have any gas. The reason is because the...

Here are some more pics. This is from a village called Roghi. I stayed in the district of Kinnaur for 3 days was exploring local, typically isolated villages which are cut off from the rest of the world in winter as the roads are closed and the only way to reach such places then, is through...

I need to start, I just dont know where from..

True, but that exists only for around till you reach the outskirts/bypass. But yeah, a hop from Delhi to places like Kullu or Shimla will save you the hassle.

Thank you, I try.. Thank you sir.. Thanks! Plethora of such routes, ones even more beautiful and desolate, up in the Himalayas.. Thanks, my pleasure - uploading a few more, albeit slowly. The only one in Northern India except Delhi with direct connectivity to YYZ is Amritsar (ASR)...

Thanks! Thank you Thanks Shane! Have a few more videos that I will upload and share.

Yes, it's a legal requirement for dealers to sell the vehicle However, most customers remove them almost immediately. The racks on the bike above are for the saddle bags

Here's a video snippet of the route:

The next set of pics are of the day I travelled to a remote village deep in the Himalayas called Charang from my base location in Kalpa, Distt Kinnar. The village is at a height of 3550 ASL. The road was opened only a few years ago parts of it were horrendous, narrow, with deep cliffs on the...

Yup, they have them all.

I went on a bike ride in the last week of November, to India. My destination was the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The name of the state, translated into English means the land on the foothills of the Himalayas. The average height of the district was around 3000m...

Umling La was recently opened up to foreigners with an ILP (Inner Line Permit). I guess that's why the hype around it. A decade or so ago, there was similar hype around Khardungla - the then highest road at 18, 380 ft.

Guys where can I get them (plugfones) in Canada? Or is the only option ordering from the states?

You always have the option to upgrade once the monetization strategy changed. I also had a photobucket account. I payed for a month, downloaded all my photos and moved on from the platform. Nothing is forever

I use Flickr. The first 1000 pics are free to upload and manage. Original size 50MB files directly from Lightroom can be easily uploaded. Then you add the link here. Post 1000, the pro account is a few dollars a month. But I am yet to extinguish my free limit - I have had the Flickr account for...
