Travelogue:
Day1:
i reached r.k puram At 6:15 am kailash and me met there and our trip start from there and we reached at hapur raod where we stuck into trafic jam bcoz of kawariyas and trucks its almost 7:20am and we were at delhi border. After that i didnt stop anywhere we took the hapur bypass and our bike speed was above 100 n we reached moradabad bypass where we did breakfast. we take the route of rampur,haldwani then Kaladhungi. in between rampur n kaladungi rain intrupt us many times we didnt have any rain suit bcoz kailash forgot that. when we reached kaladungi rain start again we stop there n did our lunch its almost 3pm so we decide to go bhimtal ... The drive to bhimtal was awesome with clouds, heavenly roads and drizzle give us company sometime We spent some time in bhimtal and at 5pm we started towards Almora. The road to Almora is awesome. we have seen some landslides there lots of rocks on roads...but luck is in our favour didnt rain and we reached almora at 6:30. we Checked into hotel shikhar. We spent some time in mall road... almora is a nice place amazing view of hills...

Day 2:
i woke up at 5:00 am for clicking snaps...at 5:00am there wasnt fog but after 1 hour there was a dense fog everywhere even the visilbility is almost zero. The view was amazing after that everywhere is cluouds but no rain on that day at 10:00 we start towards binsar....the road wasnt good some places the workers repairing roads the roads were wet... bcoz of rain last day.... but this time luck isnt our favour the due to bad weather n bad road condition we have to move back from binsar gate... bcoz on that day we have to reach nainital... so the locals told us this is better to move back from binsar we think a lot about before moving back... we did breakfast in a newly opened restaurant...After that we reached almora and tankup our bike...its almost 2:00pm so we start towards nainital on the way we clicked many photographs...then we saw sun and the clear sky then we thought our moving back decision from binsar was bad.... but god knows whats good or bad... after 1 hour the weather again changed and drizzle a bit... when nainital is just 15 kms away the we saw fog everywhere n the visibility was going low and low by every km... we reached nainital around 5:00pm and start search for hotel...we checked into hotel and go to mall road...and spent some time and decided to woke up early n explore more....

Day3:
but this time luck isnt our favour at 2:00 am rain starts heavily n non stop on that day we have to reached delhi before evening bcoz we both have to join our office next day so we have to came out from hotel and 10:00 am start for the journey to back home in rain...we reached delhi at 7:00pm with wet cloths......but thank god the trip was awesome... didnt rain much two days....

Amit dreamy photographs, with the amount of fog/clouds one can see, did it rained a lot during your ride?

Great pics amit. BTW I would like to know difference between fog and clouds.

Here YS has kept both options open but In some other post someone else insisted that the cloudy thing in the above pics is Cloud and not fog!

Can some one please put some light for this ignorant soul!

Lovely pics, Amit!

But the thread title promises Binsar also.
I'm afraid you'll have to quickly make a dash to Binsar and post some photos!

How soon can we expect this?!
