Takeoff from Manali!
Nimesh reached Manali on monday evening and has reported fine.
"So far the experience is of a Honeymoon with the Roads" was what he mentioned "The next phase is going to be more rough roads and steep curves" he concluded. Would be out of mobile network area untill some hours untill he reaches Leh. Would be sending some snaps for the blog once he reaches Leh, where the signal strength is supposed to be better than what he has been witnessing last few days. Has made friends with some friends from Native Ahmedabad, four riders from aapli Mumbai, many more from various states, seems the entire group is sort of a mini national integration!!!
Today, he leaves manali for further uphill "Steep narrow hill roads over Rothang La to Kokhsar then a gradual stretch to Tandi/ Tupchiling" - as quoted on the Royal Enfield site.
more later...

for those who came in late...
Himalayan oddessey is a 15 day road trip from delhi to Leh. Reaching 4,630 Meters above sea level, crossing the roads called as the "Roof of the World", through difficult terrain, snow and watercrossings, its a sight to visualise and experience.

For any true biker, this trip is worth undertaking. Nimesh has chosen to ride his Royal Enfield Electra Bullet 350cc.
Aptly covered by leading news channels like NDTV, CNBC, Doordarshan, and many more its called the "DareDevils Road Trip"
This blog attempts to bring the daily experiences of nimesh as he travels across the highlands.

Today i am nervous
To make the arrangements for riding gear.
I have yet to complete my shopping.
I am not sure that i will be fully ready on the 24th.
The most important thing is to get the permission for 15 days holidays from my boss.

Only 4 days to go...
24th June is the start date of this grand trip, to be flagged off by none other than Mr. Sunil Shetty, from the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium-New Delhi.
All prepared for the road trip, nimesh has already packed up a lot of stuff in his saddle bags and back-pack.
