Ever embarked on a 3000-kms road trip with just four days
planning?
What is common between the three roadies?
Our ambitious itinerary goes as follows.
Yes, just four days!
This is what we did. Two Ghumakkads one from Kolkata (named
DM) and the other from Hyderabad (named HB).
Courtesy social media, DM’s call to join a trip was answered
by HB. Phones rang, excel sheet opened and plans began. Destination
Uttarakhand! Four days and we are on the move! Both Ghumakkads being Navy
veterans helped in tying up road halts enroute. Another roadie from Kolkata named ST willingly joined.
All love to travel.
All are in their sixties and still passionate about cross country driving.
All are grandparents!
Hope we are able to stick to it. As you can see it, apart
from the Himalayas we also spend a day in a Tiger Reserve bordering Nepal.
Why Uttarakhand?
Because it offers some unique views of four high altitude
peaks of the Himalayas. Namely Trishul, Nanda Devi, Nandakot and Panchchuli. See the map below.
Wish us luck and good weather so that we can bring you some
breathtaking pictures! This story is the curtain raiser of our journey to the Himalayas.
