Motorcycling across Sikkim | Day 7 - Part 2 | Gurudongmar to Lachen

260m away from Gurudongmar when my Motorcycle gave up

I could have left my motorcycle there and walked uphill for the remaining hundred meters but probably, it was an emotion attached to my machine that made me push it as long as possible. I thought it would be an easy task considering that I had no saddle bags laden. But, when the engine finds it so hard to breathe, how well can I?

Riding to Gurudongmar and Sikkim | November 2016 Planning

Gurudongmar Lake, North Sikkim

Update: Skip to the end of this post for the Travelogue (Trip Completed)

Well, after months, something nice has been chalked out. Initially, I had planned to ride solo but when your mom almost looses consciousness (need to enhance my manipulative skills) listening to that, you have to look for other options. My good friends don't generally let such good plans pass away and the wise ones jumped into the bandwagon soon.


Some later revealed themselves to be die-hard Coldplay fans and stepped back holding their free Coldplay concert tickets. I wish I could attend the same too but nothing tops my wishes more than plans that carry me to far off places on my motorcycle.


But, this is just the plan, you see. Although, I will wait for this trip with all the energy and excitement, there can be a lot of hurdles that come up. Just hoping for the best. :)
