I wanted to ride - but the Amigos were not available! Adi has fallen in love and Delzad has drowned in work! What to do?

Bharathi - SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED - steps in with her sage advice! She grows a long white beard and says ‘Ekla Chalo Re…if no man accompanies you, walk alone…’

No wait...that was Rabindranath Tagore…

What Bharathi said was .. YOU WIMP! INFIRM OF PURPOSE! ARE YOU A MAN OR A MOUSE?

GO...AND RIDE ALONE!

Well! That was a wonderful idea! After all, all my first rides were solo rides! It was only later that I joined other bikers and met the Amigos and did a whole bunch of riding.

Now I will ride alone once again - to Uttarakhand, a most beautiful Himalayan state of India!

I decide to join the Royal Enfield Ride of Uttarakhand, and once that is done - go on a solo bike tour to the remotest parts of Uttarakhand - right up to the Tibet borders!

Join me as I go on a most wonderful, mind-altering solo journey to the remotest parts of the country.

I ride to Badrinath and Mana - the last village of India, and even take a stab at a solo ride to Mana pass, which is even higher than Khardungla pass. I ride to Auli, and Malari and Niti Valley.

I take a spur of the moment decision to trek to the famous Valley of Flowers, to the high shrine of Tungnath, and the high altitude lake of Deoriyatal.

Being alone, I meet the most delightful people - from cycle-riding sages to solo bikers traversing the country to a trekking Potel (Motel owning Patel) from the US.

And most importantly - I meet myself.
I learn new things about myself and how far I can go - just by having the freedom to walk alone.
