Gurgaon → Jaipur → Kota → Bhopal → Nagpur → Hyderabad → Mumbai → Bangalore.
I am a motorcyclist and I like to spend long trips in the countryside. I bought my first motorcycle almost 1 year ago and after that I started doing small trips through the countryside. I started with the easiest from Delhi to Rishikesh (one way 250Km). Once I finish my first trip, I know that it satisfies me and I love being on the road, exploring new places. I went to Rishikesh in March 2021 and right after that, India was hit by the covid-19 wave. All of our lives have stalled and we all had to cancel our plans. After going through the current wave, I looked to take more road trips.
Rishikesh trip:
I sought to try harder and take long car rides. In September 2021, I took a trip to Delhi Chandigarh Kasol. We were 3 friends and had 2 motorcycles. One was RE Thunderbird (we rented it from Stone Head Motorcycles in Delhi) and the other was my Gixxer SF2019 250. It was between six hundred and 700 km one way and I laughed a lot riding on the corners. This gave me some attitude about how to manage time in the time it took us 3 Days to succeed in Kasol. After all, we started our very past on Delhi Day.
Travel to Kasol:
After this Array I sought to do more than a similar duration in the mountains. I went to do the Dayara Bugyal trek on December 25, 21. It’s in the UK (you know which one). The trek starts at Barsu (base camp of the trek). Barsu is about 550 km from Delhi. I may have done it in a day, but it took me 2 days because I stopped in Rishikesh to meet friends for a day. 3 days hike with bivouac stay for 2 nights. It’s an all-season hike, but I did it in winter and it’s beautiful.
Excursion to Dayara Bugyal:
It was a small digression from the main theme. Let’s go back to the story. After all those trips, I felt fit to embark on a great road trip. I sought to meet some of my friends from school that I hadn’t met after school. They live in Hyderabad. Je I told them about this plan and they were all surprised and I felt like I was going to deflate. I said that if I came, you had to pay for my fuel (the best way to get sponsors) and that’s how I made the decision that Gurgaon to Hyderabad would be the first phase. of the trip.
Once I established my destination, I was unsure of the dates as summer was starting and it was hot day. So I made the decision to start the adventure on Holi. It was a long weekend of Holi 2022 and I couldn’t find a better time to do the holiday as I can revel in Holi on the pass and watch the birthday party in other parts of India.
One piece left over from the road. I not only needed to succeed in Hyderabad, but to explore places and meet people. The shortest direction between Gurgaon Hyderabad is via Gurggoan-> Agra → Gwalior → Jhansi → Nagpur → Hyderabad. I went to Agra and didn’t find much in Jhansi.
I have some of my school friends who live in Jaipur and I can also play Holi with them. So my first prevention is Jaipur.
I started my early morning (around 4 p. m. m. ). I arrived in Jaipur around 8 a. m. I have been to Jaipur several times, but Holi’s birthday party was quite lively there. When I arrived, other people were already celebratingon the roads and I rode on motorcycles that looked so colorful. I met my friends and played Holi with them, then went to my next destination.
Jaipur:
My next destination was Kota. I sought to pass to Kota for 2 reasons. One was due to the Rajasthan tourism announcement and the timing because I was living in Kota during the preparation of IIT Advance and sought to return to Kota to get nostalgic.
There was this advertisement where 2 strangers were riding a motorcycle and came to a position near Kota and were stunned when they saw the sight. I was also stunned when I saw the ad and looked to go. This position is called Garadia. Mahadev. Es a cliff from where you can see the Chambal River go around. I got there around 2pm and it was very hot but the view was excellent. This time.
Garadia Mahadev:
I lived in Kota from 2013 to 2015, there were like a billion academics at that time. I would have noticed the IIT Advance training posters on each and every street and corner. But now each and every one has replaced after Covid. I haven’t discovered any banners on a giant corner or on a street. There were no scholars on the roads. There is no party in the city. I came to the main direction of training institutes and saw that most of the great training institutes no longer exist. The dynamic training construction has been purchased through Aakash, the Bansal classroom construction is rented and the call of the “Bansal classes” is replaced by “Reliable”, which is a logo of the new resonance training institute. It is now a completely replaced city. After visiting my hostel and institute, I headed to my next destination.
Kota:
Somewhere in Rajasthan:
My next destination was Bhopal. The roads are beautiful between Kota and Bhopal. On the road you can find many small forts. Rajasthan is, in fact, one of the most productive places to explore by bike.
I arrived in Bhopal in the afternoon around 10pm. M. And the city was still lively. People were still wandering the streets and you can find many food stalls across the side of the road. I finished my first day after 1000 km, 18 hours and I was still not tired.
Day 2 (Bhopal – Sanchi Stupa – Panchmarhi – Nagpur):
The next morning, I got up early to explore the city. The city is blank and has beautiful roads. The street art was also nice. I went to Upper Lake and it’s a great position to start the day. After this morning hike, I started my second day adventure in Nagpur. There were two places I was looking for to make a stopover. in between Bhopal and Nagpur. Sanchi Stupa (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Panchmarhi Hills in Satpura Tiger Reserve.
Bhopal:
Sanchi Stupa is about 60-70 km from Bhopal. Try to reach this position early in the morning as the crowds will be smaller and you will not feel the wrath of the sun. It is a nonviolent position. One suggestion would be to hire a consultant, because without a consultant you would not perceive the meaning of this position. The main stupa has four doors and the door represents a vital story about Buddhism.
Sanchi Stupa:
After visiting Sanchi Stupa, I left for Panchmarhi around 10:30 am. Since MP is a tribal state, the maximum of it is Behad. There weren’t many fancy places to eat on the way between Sanchi Stupa and Panchmarhi. There is this Midway Treat chain of restaurants through MP Tourism that serves very smart food and offers stylish accommodation. I had my dinner on day 1 and lunch on day 2 at an eating place in this chain. So if anyone is making plans for a roadside vacation through MP, you can pay attention to those places to eat. Once you pass through the Satpura Tiger Reserve, you will find increasingly winding roads. The last 30-40 km to Panchmarhi are real twists and I really enjoyed them. I made it in Panchmarhi around 3pm. One can do many things in Panchmarhi like jungle safari, ATV rides, trekking to sunset/sunrise point or waterfalls. Since I was late in the day, I didn’t have time to do much, so I just visited the bee waterfall. You have to walk about 2-3 km, then climb a lot of stairs to succeed in the waterfall. You can see monoliths the hike. After visiting the waterfall, I started my adventure towards Nagpur. I stopped in the middle as the sunset was really great in the hills. The roads were great when I started my Nagpur adventure but the last 100 km stretch was really bad and because of that I managed to reach Nagpur around 10 PM. I felt tired at the end of the second day. I finish my second day after 700 km and 12 hours of driving.
Panchimarhi:
I didn’t need to feel like I was in a rush to get from point A to point B. It takes the laugh out of me from being on the go. So I started my third day a bit late because I was also looking to give my body a good rest. I was looking for places around Nagpur to explore but couldn’t locate much. Maybe others can help me with options for the next layover at. One attractive thing about Nagpur is that it is right in the middle of India. There is this 0 mile point from which Britisher used to measure distance to other parts of India. Since there was not much to see in Nagpur, I had time to meet a friend of mine. I went to his space and met his family. Finding food at home on such a vacation is nothing short of a pleasure. One very desirable thing is that the poha served in Maharashtra and the MP are very different. Poha in MP is a bit sweeter and in Maharashtra it is a bit spicy. After having breakfast, around 9 am, I started my adventure towards Hyderabad. I had not planned to call anything between Nagpur and Hyderabad as I did not know which places to call. So I started driving towards Hyderabad. The roads are really well evolved between those 2 cities, but the road aspect amenities are not evolved. I couldn’t find a good place to eat along the road, so I had to avoid in dhabas, which served very basic food. Most of those dhabas are only used through truckers. I spoke to a few drivers and they were all very interested in my adventure. It was actually smart to communicate with other people on the road when you were traveling solo. After lunch, I started riding again. It was actually a hot day. The temperature was around 39-40C. When I was about 200-250 km before Hyderabad, I started noticing a waterfall sign across the side of the road. I immediately avoided and asked the locals about those waterfalls and they told me that there are many waterfalls on the way. After seeing the sign, I really wanted to take a bath to relieve myself of the heat. The poster had such a beautiful picture of the waterfall, I was satisfied, but when I got to the waterfall it was absolutely dry and a very small stream was flowing, but I ended up taking a bath anyway. After this joy, I returned to Hyderabad. I reached Hyderabad around 5 PM. It was the last day of the first phase of the vacation. I finished my day after 500 km and 8 hours of driving. I stayed with my friends for the next two days.
Somewhere between Nagpur and Hyderabad.
