Yamunotri trek is about 7.5Kms. If you are staying at GMVN Phoolchtti you have to drive 2 kms up to Jankichatti to park your car and then from their the trek starts. You will have 4 different ways to reach top (By Walk, Horse, pithu and palkie) After completing our trek we reached our hotel at Phoolchatti and started to Barkot, so that it will be easier for our next day journey.

The Ghost Who Walks
I have bought a new Pulsar 200 NS. The running in period is a painful 2000 KM. I have done just over 1000 KM according to the user manual which translates to not exceeding 4k rpm. Also 1st service done at 670 KM. Do I need to continue the running in?
I suppose this is your first motorcycle.
See there are two ways to do this and anyway you follow nothing wrong would happen as modern day engines are good enough for rough usage.
The first way ia the boring way to follow the book.
Now, Since you have already done one service with oil change then now u can safely take it to full rage of rpm just be gradual with throttle input no rushing and being jack the ripper.
Don't hold one rpm for long period if u want to go for long ride then take hourly break.
I personally show full range to the tacho from day one . Just be regular with the service and do get fresh oil on second service too.
50-70 percent of range of rpm is safe enough for new engine and occasionally u can go 100 percent.
Riding on low rpm at high gear is more harmful as it would result in lugging the engine.
I hope this helps.

Hey bcmt just back for a short while.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Also, this is an E20 engine, but I am still very skeptical to put E20 fuel as I have heard that Ethanol is Hydrophilic and worried about long term issues that might rise, as I am willing to keep this bike for the next 7-10 years.

This is my second bike only. I had a Pulsar 135 LS as my first bike for 12 years clocked 130k KMS and sold it, and yes I am very less experience with running in. I let my father take the pain of running in according to user manual the first time
