We started the day fairly good. Sun was shining bright. We had breakfast by the roadside near town(while I was praying not to suffer from diarrhoea later).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may wonder, I don’t have any pictures because the journey to Chandigarh using another route was treacherous. It was like in Madhya Pradesh, bad roads, lots of trucks, a flatten tyre on the Avenger again and night riding. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We finally arrived in Chandigarh at 11 pm. We rode for maybe 13 hours again that day. But I would say Chandigarh city is well planned. Much less traffic lights, cleaner, wide roads, grid formations of the city. Google map it, City of Chandigarh.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The end of the long ride from south. We head to Delhi and spent a night there before departing back to Mangalore.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A straight forward ride to Delhi on Delhi-Shimla highway. But not without drama. Everyday, we always stop every 40km of riding. At one stop, guys on the Avenger had misplaced their key somewhere in the grass by the road side. Only a key, nothing attached. Talking about finding a needle in a haystack. The spare key however was in a bag on Impulse but Impulse went on riding without knowing Avenger was going nowhere under the gaze of the midday sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After dozens of missed calls, before stopping for the next 40 km. Guys on Impulse realized Avenger wasn’t on their tail. Knowing the spare key was in their bag and the other guys lost their keys, they made a U-turn and we covered 40km in just 20 minutes to meet them. Lost two liters of fuel, time and energy.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the evening, our bikes had to catch the train back to Bangalore while we took the flight to Mangalore. No fuss in packing and transporting. They had workers to do it. But the only thing wasn’t there with me was trust. They packed our bikes, covered with boxers and paper, drained the petrol. We paid about 8000 rupees for both bikes. They took our bikes somewhere but we were waiting there like sitting ducks. I had a doubt whether they ran away with our vehicles.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thus the end of Khaldoun's Great Adventure. Now I am doing internship in India. Will be heading back to Malaysia in March 2107. So, maybe some small adventures with my donkey again before heading back. Recently was on a solo ride to Chikmangalur after exams. Would like to post some videos of it. So stay tune. =)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, a short video about our adventure to Manali. Do watch it on your laptops/desktops or make it to view in desktop mode if its on mobile. Enjoy.</div>

We are set to rise up towards Rohtang Peak through Rohtang Pass. Its a 2000 m(Yes, 2.0 km) ascension in 4-5 hours on this dangerous road.<br />
<br />
Manali is at 2090 m asl and Rohtang highest road is at 3979 m. Every traveler wished to reach Leh from Manali(Manali-Leh Highway) need to jump over this peak to reach the other side. However, this peak is one of the few ascends to Leh, ranging 4000 m to 5300 m asl.<br />

First day at Manali and it was freezing cold. I would not move from from the bed and be in my cacoon of blankets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But Darshan was up early and took a stroll alone. Then I joined him to have a morning tea in cold Manali. It was 10-15ºC on the weather forecast.</div>

We head back to the hotel and got ready for our day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First thing to do on day one Manali was getting 2 Royal Enfields for our extra passengers from Shimla and also the ride up to Rohtang pass. This is because the obvious 150 cc Impulse bike won’t be powerful enough to handle two people at once. It would be slow and hard on the bike. And also to ride my first RE experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Joined by Amit’s friends in Manali, we head to Hardev Motors. They rent bikes to willing bikers for their harsh journey deep into the Himalayas and also conduct multiple yearly trips in 4 months span.</div>

Went through the guard post, not paying any toll because the locals knew the guards and we were not going far. Just a picnic area I would say somewhere in the woods not far ascending to Rohtang pass.<br />

Then we head back down towards Solan pass. A tourist spot for skiing in Manali during winter. During summer and spring its all muddy and green giving space for zorbing, horse riding and paragliding.<br />

Day 7 was the second day we could pay our sleeping debt. Woke up late, had room service for breakfast and enjoy the cool weather. We head higher into the foots of the Himalayas.<br />
<br />
Riding in the mountains needs a lot of skills and experience because the roads are winding and the buses might come from the opposite side on the blind side of the hairpin.<br />
<br />
I didn't get to take pictures of puke(vomit) stains along the sides of the bus. Check for them if you head to the mountains and the buses are non AC.<br />

Then we arrived at Mandi. We had lunch at 3.00 p.m. I think the area is a plateau in between Shimla and Manali because the breeze wasn’t strong and the climate was a bit warm.<br />

We reached Kullu at 6.30. By then it was dark and no pictures were taken. They said it is legal to posses weed in Kullu. I am not promoting smoking weed, but just be careful if anyone offers you one. There was a bad traffic congestion in Kullu which made one of the bikes stranded for an hour.<br />
<br />
We rode till Manali, arrived at 8.30 p.m. Met again Shrikanth’s friends, Amit and Akshita. Plus, we got discounts for stay at a motel by the river.<br />

Gears up, we woke up in the morning knowing we will be at Shimla by the end of the day. Wake up, pack up and we are ready to go.<br />
<br />
First stop, we just had to get breakfast to the famous Gulshan Dhaba. Just nearby from our stay.<br />

It was a short ride from Sonepat to Shimla. But we encountered a problem, Himachal Pradesh is one of the two states in India that I know the pillion must also wear a helmet.<br />
If you are not in India, helmet is not mandatory for motorcyclist except in the cities but then only the rider needs it not the pillion. I stay in the outskirts of Mangalore city so I seldom use a helmet except if I’m going to the city.<br />
<br />
Got a warning from the traffic police once we entered the city. He was also surprised two KA(Karnataka) plate numbers were there in Shimla. He told get a helmet and we were good to go.<br />
<br />
Its cold in Shimla. It was colder at night. I can’t stand it so I just confined myself to the safety of the hotel room. We were just to tired to walk around in the higher levels of the city. Shops closed early here. Who would not, its cold outside.<br />
<br />
Started at 8 a.m. Arrived at Shimla around 4.30 p.m. If you are using a car from Delhi. It will take 6-8 hours.<br />
<br />
In Shimla, its time for Suhas to depart because he has exams in Manipal. Darshan met up with us at the hotel after roaming around with his brother back in Agra and Delhi. So we were still four of us.<br />
<br />
Meet Shrikanth's friends here. They are locals in Shimla. Akshita and Amit.<br />
<br />
We had almost one week on the road. Deprived of sleep and energy. Eating food(although it was veg) and this honeymoon suite for the four of us with its circle bed and similar sized mirror at the ceiling(I know its weird right), finally we had a good rest.<br />
<br />
Himachal Pradesh is one of the highly educated population in India. Beautiful and clean environment. I mean cleaner than most parts of India. At least they throw trash accordingly and not to mother nature. Follow traffic rules unlike most parts of India again. Easy for a foreigner like me because they speak english.<br />
<br />
And the scenery is beautiful. But the best is still to come. The road to Manali from Shimla is up at my list as the most beautiful route I had seen.<br />

Our bodies felt tired while waking up, but we had to and be excited about because we were going to see Taj Mahal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Who would ever imagine riding a bike for 14 hours on bad roads. Not to mention risking our lives among the lorries in the middle of nowhere under the constant of their insane and unforgiving high beams.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We started the day a little late at 8 a.m. Gave tips for the hotel's fine service then we head of to Panipat, Haryana 100 km north of New Delhi, Delhi. The distance to cover was 385 km.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Our first stop is Agra, the place where Shah Jahan made his unimaginable marble mausoleum of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, The Taj Mahal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Good news, NH3 has just resume its service from Gwalior. Thank god otherwise it will be a long ride to Agra.</div>

Never I have thought that I would travel with my own motorcycle to Agra.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We reached Agra at 11 a.m. Took our tickets. 750 rupees for foreigners, 20 rupees for Indian nationals. God, the discrimination. Hehe. Taj Mahal is always full of people. So we can’t decide when is the right time to visit.</div>

One tip if you arrived at Taj Mahal, never ride the rickshaws. Take the electric cars or buses to the gate of Taj Mahal. Its just 600 meters from the parking site. Its free for foreigners. Also you get a free water bottle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I just can’t imagine the number of people there. A long queue to pass the security check then a long walk from the gate to Taj Mahal. Its October and the weather is so warm and dry. I finished my bottle of water half way walking there. Can’t imagine during the summer months.</div>

After spending 30 minutes walking in the compound. I decide there was no point of queuing to see the tomb in Taj Mahal because of the long line and the heat in the mausoleum. So we went off and search for a place to eat. This is Kesar restaurant opposite to McDonald’s at Agra. </div>

Then we head to New Delhi. A 6 hour ride from Agra. 4 hours by car. We entered Yamuna highway, to me the most expensive highway in India because motorcycles had to pay 150 rupees. This is our first paying at a toll plaza. A four or three lane highway. Owned by multibillion rupees company Jaypee which they owned almost everything on this highway including the Buddh International Circuit at Greater Noida south to New Delhi.<br />
<br />
The road was too straight, wide and empty that I slept while riding. I know it was dangerous and I promise I will not do that again. We had to stop at the emergency lane because the R&R was 3 hours apart. The heat reflected on the tarmac was unbearable almost the same at Madhya Pradesh and the same situation, no freaking water in our water bottles after the first stop.<br />

We reached Delhi at 8 p.m. One massive city. I would say a metropolis. Multiple times the size of Kuala Lumpur. I would say the traffic was good regarding to the size of the city. Rode along with high powered bikes at the highways in New Delhi. Also a heaven for Harley Davidson fans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Met Shrikanth’s cousin at Khan Market for some guides and tips. A beautiful shopping district. So alive at night. Repacked our bags there to reduce our weights for our ascend to Shimla and Manali and left it at a hotel we are going to stay after the trip to Manali.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Then we head to Sonepat, we took 1 hour figuring out to reach the outskirts of the city and finally we reached National Highway (NH) 1/ Asian Highway(AH) 1. By that time my clock was at 10 p.m. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Shrikanth was already sleeping at the pillion. All of us were tired and we need rest. We stopped by the roadside to google map nearby hotels when the police truck pull beside us with their interrogating head lamp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We explained we do not do anything wrong and we wanted to rest at a nearby hotel. Thanks to their help, we decided we will stop at Panipat. We arrived Panipat by 12 p.m. noticing a large dhaba(roadside R&R or restaurant) named Gulshan Dhaba with their parking and eating area flocked with people. Its rare to see shops open 24 hours and full of people in India. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Its India's famous dhaba along NH 1. We will come first thing in the morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In Mangalore, even the clubs had to end their music at 11 p.m. No night life in Mangalore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So we went into our slumber to be fresh the following day because we are ascending to Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sorry guys no pictures at night because my cameras does not have high ISO to capture the moments in the dark. Maybe need an upgrade.</div>

And you think that was bad, we literally survived the whole day on biscuits, Lays chips, some prasad(whitish sweets which are found in temples) and few bottle of water which we finally got it after 200 km of thirst since breakfast. That’s 5 times of stops, equals to 5 hours. </div>

Even worse, M.P. has the worst roads I have ever seen. We literally did 30 km/h for an agonizing 14 HOURS! Never thought of going through pot holes and bad roads on NH 3. We were having a good tour on highways after highways from Belgaum to Ujjain then it just stops. This is NH3. One of the main highways for India. Just shocking and I want to condemn their state government for not providing basic infrastructure. It is not surprising I don’t find people recommending others to visit MP. I will never visit MP ever again. Never ever.<br />
<br />
When into dozens of large potholes on the road. Avenger got dents on the exhaust pipe. Both bikes just could barely hold on.<br />

We set up at 8 a.m. in the morning. Arrived at Gwalior, Uttar Pradesh at 12.30 a.m. Riding at night with the road condition, the most dangerous thing I had ever done. No holes can be seen until we are near, the trucks are always on their high beam. We might get kidnapped in the middle of nowhere and no one will notice.</div>

The worst, Avenger had a small accident colliding with another motorcycle with a couple on it while overtaking a lorry. It might got ugly but thank god both bikes were safe. We are in foreign land but lucky for us, we spoke Hindi except for me. Negotiated down to 500 rupees from 1000 rupees for the the couples medical expenditure and to calm their hearts down. We would not want to be beaten by the villagers although they were obviously faking or exaggerating their pain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We rode further up to assess our damage and injuries. Few abrasions here and there. Bandaged them up, calm them down, change the rider and we were ready to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Later in Delhi, Shrikanth told me few of the guys at the accident site were carrying knives. These roads are infamous for crimes he said. The roads in MP are dangerous. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After we had reached Gwalior. We search for a hotel but the city was dark. Lucky for us there was Hotel Meenakshi Palace. Went down to buy food at 12.45 a.m. at the nearby restaurant.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our first meal of the day. Amazing it was still open at that time. Ate, had my isyak and maghrib prayers then charged all my gadgets for the journey tomorrow.</div>

I would say, the hotel served us great after a long and treacherous journey. I will give 5 stars for their service. Even though we brought outside food, they were giving us plates and drinks courtesy from the hotel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if you end up in Gwalior for I don’t know what reason, please search for Hotel Meenakshi Palace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Then we rest our battered body on the comfortable beds. For our ride tomorrow to Agra, the city on the banks of Yamuna river and Taj Mahal in Day 5.</div>

Had a nice rest at the hotel. Then we set our stuffs for our adventure to travel the remaining north of Maharashtra then enter the state of Madhya Pradesh. This is NH 3. The highway starts from Mumbai in Maharashtra to Agra in Uttar Pradesh. Around 1200 kilometers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It is also apart of the network of Asian Highway, AH 47 starting from Bangalore in Karnataka to Gwalior in Uttar Pradesh through Mumbai in Maharashtra. That is 2000 kilometers. We saw some BMW GS touring bike cruising at 100 km/h with stuffs enough for a camping site, I am guessing from a European country.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
What I have realize of Maharashtra it has a beautiful landscape. Open, vast and luscious greenery land with random flat top hills from south to the center of Maharashtra and a bit of desert, not the sandy desert but barren land with few trees for shade at the northern part of Maharashtra.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

So enjoy from my eye’s point of view</div>

The first eating place we stopped, it was uneatable for me. I wound not risk diarrhoea. Not even their bottle of water because it was a refilled bottle. Water taken from a well maybe. The same water I used to wash my face and hands. But Shrikanth ate something. Well, he is an Indian right although the others refused.<br />

We went through the city of Indore, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. A city not worth mentioning. It was at night. Could not see the city well. Drivers were very rude. Roads were really bad. One of the worst cities I have ever been. Its from here I just hate Madhya Pradesh. Sorry guys if you are from MP. This is my impression on your state. Peace. After a long day, we finally arrived at Ujjain at 8.30 p.m. I was tired. Slept right away at a hotel also not worth mentioning accompanied by Niroop. While Shrikanth and Suhas meet their friends somewhere in the city.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ujjain is in the middle of the state. A small town famous for its ancient Mahakel Temple. Ujjain is west to the city of Bhopal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Bhopal is known world wide for a gas disaster killing thousands of people and causing nearly half million more of injuries and complication. Its considered as the world’s worst industrial disaster.</div>

We crossed the border of Karnataka entering to the state of Maharashtra. One of my most memorable motorcycle rides in my life. The best is ahead somewhere in the north of India.</div>

All is well for the first day. Had a good rest. Ate at the hotel’s restaurant for last night’s dinner. And that was my first time having masala papad. Thanks guys for introducing it to me. Its just a huge peppered papadom with chopped onions and tomatoes. Been ordering this in every restaurant since then.</div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Started packing at 6.00 a.m. Had my Fajar prayers. Move out from the hotel in Belgaum. Not to mention the roads were closed for Diwali, Deepavali what its called in Malaysia. They had a full month of festivals.</div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
Sorry friends in Belgaum for not meeting up with you guys. I was too tired the night before.</div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
We took a few detours before finally reaching the open, wide roads of the highway. I was awestruck and all praises to God for the beautiful scene which I had on my video. Beautiful light of dawn with the wind turbines from afar. Why can’t Malaysia have this renewable energy. It would make our country beautiful. Its just majestic to see these wind turbines rotating slowly and gracefully.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span>Pune to Nashik was a straight forward ride. Reached Nashik around 9.00 p.m. Got a close call from a car because it was pitch black on the road. Road was good, well maintained. But no lights, no cars, no one. Noticed a bifid road. One going to the right, one going to the left. I thought the left was a one way lane until a car from no where, flashes the light just 20 meters ahead of me. Thanks to Shrikanth for alerting me, really bro otherwise we would be somehow in pieces maybe. Then I realized double lines in the middle of the road. Moral of the story, never drive at night in unfamiliar roads.</div>

Most places are too many for me to capture by a camera. It will be a beautiful memory in medial temporal lobe as long as I don’t suffer from a concussion.<br />
<br />
A wrap for day 2. Day 3 will bring us to the city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We stick to a plan throughout the whole journey, changing riders with the pillion every 40 kilometers. Its done with a zig-zag pattern. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">We also went through Dandeli forest, experienced short duration of rain and was hoping to see some wildlife but nothing came through us. Roads are fairly good. I would say better than the roads in </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">far rural areas, forest, hilly areas and desert(not in Karnataka though).</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Went through Haliyal, a village of farmers. Saw a pack of dogs attacking a cow and at the mean while our Avenger came through along them. Unluckily for them, the cow charged towards them and they nearly got a horn from that cow. Thought that we are on the dogs side. Avenger went for an emergency brake, skid and fell. Only scratches on the bike but no bruises for the guys. Guys on the Avenger was a bit shaken but we on the Impulse thought it was funny.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ROAD TO GLORY</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So it has been 3 months since my adventure in October. A couple of guys crazy enough to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">traverse </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">India from south to north in 8 days.</span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We planned since March to make this work. From the mere asking to join this adventure, to the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">buying of a new motorcycle, to the long pain staking planning for all </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the 10 days including 2 days in Delhi and finally executing it. Individually planned for each day. But I had to admit that we over did it ourselves.</span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because riding 400 - 500 kilometres, 10 - 12 hours of riding each day on a pair of 150cc and 200cc </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">bikes is a back breaker, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">butt sorer, unthinkable,over doing, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">mind boggling, for 2400 kilometres in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">almost of all the 8 days is just a huge task to withhold. Some say stupid I guess. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not to mention that I am back alive in one piece with beautiful memories.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I know its worth it. Every single penny used, every energy drained, every minutes spent,every </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">throttle pulled, every brake squeezed, every gear changed.</span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
