After a long hiatus of non-activity, the Luci-Fers, my motorcycle club, decided to go out for a ride… and to break the tradition of riding in Himachal, the destination was decided as Mukteshwar in Uttaranchal.
My previous experiences in Uttaranchal on a car were not very good so I was a little wary of riding on those roads.
The D-day decided and the riders were all in… but then as lady luck would have it, Karan decided not to join us due to his personal commitments. And then Nikhil decided to drop out due to his commitments, followed by Shoaib and Sumit… all in all, out of the 8, only 4 were there at the designated spot to roll towards Mukteshwar.
The riders:
Pravin Bhateley – on the Horsie (OG Machismo 350)
Swapnil Wilson – on the Bitch (Silver Std 350)
Karma Negi – on the Donkey (Magic Black Electra 350)
Manish Chachra – on the Black Beauty (Black T-Bird 350)
When I was young, my father said, Son, I have something to say and what he told me I somehow forgot and halted by corbett trips. He said, son you be a bachelor boy and thats the way to stay, ay ay, ye, happy be a bachelor boy untill you run out of urge to have a day (at corbett). :)
In 2002, we must have been to Corbett many times. We would start very early, mostly cutting through Delhi-Fog and then Hapur-Fog and then Moradabad-Fog and then… hmmm probably by then you start to get some sun. We had fun. Get the pun. I know Cliff Richards wont be too delighted.
Get back to senses. See, the very thought of keyboarding a trip of my youth starts to put me off-balance, I start to lose my co-ordination and sway, even though its just mid-week. Ok. I dont think any of you are any more interested so lets get back on track. (more…)
Read the article from point of view of a person, who loves to travel, is deeply in love with nature and enjoys serenity and solitude.
I was soon going to fall in love with the world I was entering!
This was a package tour offered by MP tourism and was gifted to us. I can assure you that it is not at all expensive especially if you do not want to spend time raking your brain every now and then for deciding on lodging, food, sights to see, local traveling, tips etc.
8th Feb It was the year 2006. The Bhopal Express reached Bhopal at 6:30 in the morning after an overnight journey from New Delhi railway station. MP tourism extension office is right at the entrance of the Bhopal station. We reported there, the package was confirmed and we were helped with our luggage by our driver (who turned out more of a chauffeur). It was Wednesday but the office crowd had not ventured out by that time. The empty roads guided us to the Palash Hotel (three star) where we freshened up in the common but more than decent restrooms. Tesu restaurant at the Hotel was where we had our breakfast (with buffet options). We started from there in our own sweet time and headed to Pachmarhi. Our chauffeur, Mr Shahvar Khan, made good conversations and knew exactly when not-to-speak. Settled in Mumbai he was well traveled and was “known” in bollywood circles. He also claimed to be personal driver to Mrs Big B for a few years. He referred to my wife as didi and never talked to her directly!
The package includes two stoppages en route to Pachmarhi. The first one is an ancient Lord Shiva temple at Bhojpur, 28 kms from Bhopal. We offered our prayers to the Lord. The Shivalingam we were told is the tallest in India.
As far as the name is concerned you can find a sense of joy & warmth by pronouncing San Antonio !!!!!!!!!
