Varsha and myself, have been preparing for our mega road trip for more than 3 months now. Plan is still changing. Luggage not fitting, bike still giving issues, changing route at last minute based on feedback, only 50% of destinations of hotel reservation…STILL EXCITED. Can’t wait to get on the road 🙂
We will be covering around 6500Kms in close to 18 days. Meeting old (school time) friends, trekking, remote remote lakes, para gliding, river rafting, historic silk route, history war memorials, icy roads, national parks, elephant safari, workshop in organic farming, army hospitality, looking forward to visiting cleanest state of India, Sikkim.
