Hi Friends
Finally did Munsiyari, a long pending trip, in my bucket list on my RE TB 350. I was accompanied by my colleague Harsh, on a Avenger Street 220.
The planned iternary was
9th Feb - Delhi to Kausani
10th Feb - Kausani to Munsiyari
11th Feb - Munsiyari to Kasardevi
12th Feb - Kasardevi to Delhi
We hoped to stick to the iternary but not stretch ourselves too much as it was Harsh' s first mountain ride and that too Munsiyari !!!
9th Feb
I woke up at 3 am and got ready by 4. Then went down to my bike and loaded my luggage on to the LC on my Thunderbird. Around 4:15 am i left East of Kailash, a locality in South Delhi to meet Harsh who waited for me at the Radisson Blu signal at Ghaziabad. So we left around 4:45 am from the meeting point and rode on NH 24 till Gajraula which was our first pit stop.
Though it wasn't cold till Gzb, it became very chilly as we crossed Pilkua. We rode till Gajraula & reached there around 6 45. We has omlette & paratha along with tea and started again after relieving ourselves.
We rode till the Moradabad turn and rode towards Jim Corbett National Park situated at Ramnagar (Uttarakhand). We crossed bad stretches for about 8 kms and then the road evened out. Harsh had a minor fall which shook him up a but thereby slowing down our pace.
Finally we reached Ramnagar via Kashipur (filled up fuel here) and proceeded towards Dhangarhi Gate of Jim Corbett. We stopped at Dhangarhi Gate for some selfies and moved ahead. This point onwards one get6s the real feel of Uttarakhand.
After crossing Mohaan, we started the climb towards Ranikhet, a popular hill station which was our planned pit stop for some food. It took about 3.5 hours to reach Ranikhet where we had Maggi & Tea.
We proceeded towards Kausani but went on wrong direction thanks to some wrong directions given by some local. We were stopped by cops who were inspecting vehicles along with Election Commission as elections were due in UK. They asked us to go back & guided us the right path,.
We then followed the road signs which led us to a road via a thick jungle. There was hardly any road there nor any soul.... scary. Finally we hit the Almora-Kausani road which said Kausani was another 22 kms away.
After exchanging frustrating glances, we moved on and finally reached Kausani around 5 30 pm, before dusk. We checked into Hotel Sun & Snow which has a majestic view of the Panchachuli peaks and Nanda devi.
After buying some N Veg snacks outside (hotel was pure veg), we eagerly had some Rum which was our elixir of life for the trip and crashed by 10 pm
