Default The thunder-dragon ride (sikkim-bhutan 08)

A story of bikers from different parts of country bounded by common love of motorcycle touring set out to conquer unknown terrains and chase new horizons
*ING:
Rajiv Livingstone(Trivandrum) as Jithu:

Sparsh(Delhi) as himself:

Anup Abraham(Mumbai) as himself:


Gopi(Mumbai) as razorblades:


Amit Patil(Mumbai) as darth lucifer:






Let the journey begin:

There is a perversity in all men regardless of where they originate from - planet earth or a distant galaxy!!

So we have another 'teaser'!! Even after the 'beautiful' new feature created by YS just to prevent such teasers (which he himself is guilty of!!)!

Let me muster the forces of Zen Buddhism and bear it with grace!



BTW, what is Sparsh wearing under that sweat-shirt, in that photo?!!

So it begins, eagerly waiting for more.

Sir jee look at it this way, we can either wait for the travelogue, not knowing what it contains and how beautiful are the photographs in it or keep getting a small but constant dose of it every day with the grand finale in the form of a proper travelogue.

Maybe something happened that changed things and thus they don't want to talk about it and have sworn to secrecy

Logical deductions ...hmmmm.

This is what can happen when only a FEW photos are posted (as in a teaser) - each one is studied deeply. Then all kinds of speculation runs rife!

And Anup's very life is threatened!

we rode to nathu-la,gurudonmarg and zero point.No taxi business.No bribes

Go to gangtok and have permits issued from sikkim tourism office.I had contacted some travel agents and they wanted us to have 'travel arrangements with us' for them to arrange for permits.

PM Anup Abraham or speak to sparsh.They were primarily responsible for permits once we made it to gangtok.
We did not have any 'contacts' in army,governments etc for permits and its a purely cooked up story
