Woke up early in the morning.. 6am! took bath and checked out of the hotel. saddled up at around 7:30 and we were confused about which route to take.. everyone was telling us a new route. finally settled for the Naroda road so that we can catch the highway without stepping into Ghandinagar. We kept riding and darn there were lotsa branch roads.
we took the wrong route and ended up in a junction where an uncle told us to take the Ghandinagar route. he promised us that the roads are very good and its thru the national park. The route was beautiful indeed.
dog was the only visible animal inside the park since it was morning. :P we saw a bunch of peacocks flying over us though! that was a sight. before i could remove my camera from the saddle bag they disappeared. the roads were amazing with green flush all around us.
We reached Gandhinagar Thermal Power Station and could not ride without stopping. huge cooling towers in the plant which stood majestically.
we started posing near the jet fighter with fully geared and a helmet in hand.. people were asking weather we are jet pilots
and we told them yes we are! you should have had a look at their faces!
the next journey was one of the most memorable trip! we did 210 non stop. we were very happy to ride on the small mountains after the lengthy straights!
we were doing all monkey stunts like leaning and cornering. it was fun. none of us came to know that we covered that much. all the guys were still riding and i decided to stop to give a break to the bike.
we had garam garam chai and some pakoda!
we kept riding as long as we could in the scorching heat of rajasthan. i was literally baking inside my jacked since it was made for cold weather and rains! darn RST!
now i realized "Indian roads, Indian jackets" the road to ajmer from udaipur was a single lane highway flooded with trucks. so we thought of taking the super smooth highway via Chittaurgarh. that adds around 120 kms extra though!
we got lost somewhere in the middle of the desert. it was a desert since we cant find a single shadow, a single tree or a single soul to ask for directions!
got totally exhausted. to add to our tragedy there was no water to drink too. we went on the wrong way a little ahead hoping there will be some shop where we can buy some water.
no. nothing there! prasad got mad and he started running around the desert for water. finally after 15mins are so he came like a god with water.
drank the whole bottle and we were waiting for someone to pass to ask for directions.
finally few under 18 guys driving a car came by. sorted out the directions and we were on our way. took the correct Bhilwara route.
now its 3:00pm and we wanted to gas up our bikes and some food for our tummy.
found a good a/c dhaba in the middle of no where! people were very arrogant though. they told us to keep all our helmets down since the hotel might get flooded with people.
for god's sake there were around eight big big tables and we were the only soul in that room. without any option we obliged him.
food was good though. what more can you ask for in the middle of a desert? good food, a/c room and we were more than happy!
started riding towards Ajmer. darn it was hot. i was riding in the shadows of big trucks for a long time conversing with the truck drivers!
that was fun.we stopped after a 150km ride and there were very old people resting under a big tree. asked their permission for a few clicks and they offered us water after that.
finally at dusk we reached kishangarh. got a huge room for 850 bucks which had four cots with an a/c room.
loads of thandoori chicken and rotis.. feasted and slept!
