DAY-2:

Woke up @ 8 a.m., got freshened and in the meanwhile we ordered a parantha and a cup of tea each as breakfast. Done with the gulping part, asked the hotel guys to open up the compartment where our bikes were parked @ night (well, it was a condition imposed by us to park our bikes in some locked lot in night). After bringing them out, we left our machines idling to warm them up meanwhile we got into our jackets, head lids etc. and we were ready to roll again. We started ripping down towards Company Garden visited the "bagh"... For us, there was not much to see, just an ordinary garden it was with a small but beautiful waterfall and green-house-like hut structure in the middle of it having various varieties of plants.


A couple of pics @ Company Bagh...

No, its not MY studio, lol... ;-)

After the Garden, we headed towards George Everest, asking people about the way to reach there. Found a fork(of road) leading towards 2 different paths and the upper- arm of the fork goes towards the destination. After confirming the route at a couple of more spots in the way, we reached a a place which seemed to be a forest and there was a very rough uphill path. We stopped there for a minute to find someone who can confirm if we are going right or not but no1 showed up. So we continued on that rough uphill path as there wasn't any other option to decide between. It was enough to make you struggle to ride if you are a newbie to offroading in hills. Anyways, after climbing some distance, a Bolero came from the downside and they told us that we should go back downwards and choose the other path towards Hathipanv as we will not be able to cross it on bikes. Little did we know about the place, so we believed them and came back to ride via the other way. The way towards Hathipanv also wasn't a smooth one either. It had the same amount of offroading and was even lengthier then the other (as far as I know). The difference was that it didn't have that much rocks on it, rather it had loose soil as if it was under construction. We met with a soldier in the way who was coming in the opposite direction on his Pulsar sporting a Michelin Sirac at its rear. He introduced us with an lady and asked us to give her lift to Hathipanv as her home is at the point exactly where we have to leave our bikes and start a small trek to reach George Everest. 


Some off-road clicks of the path we had to leave...

As we reached, Hathipanv, w parked our bikes in the varandah the lady's house. From there, we had to move on-feet for around half a km. to reach the Army Base Camp @ George Everest. Reaching Army Base Camp, the Armemen were asking us if we are in the stunting crew. We were like... ":confused::confused:" and they told us that there's a film-shooting scheduled there which and most of the crew members have already arrived. We told them that we're just tourists and chatted with one of them for a while and then he directed us towards the main George Everest mountain.


Some pics 2 George Everest...

Coming back, the Armymen suggested us Tibbetian Temple to go to and we went to pick our bikes for the same where we met a couple of age around 50-55 years who were that with there Esteam and they were happy to read our bikes' number plates as "DL XX XX XXXX" as they were also from Delhi. We exchanged greatings with them, thanked the aunty (the house owner) and bid a bye to her little kids and Headed towards the Tibbetian Temple.


Some clicks @ Tibbetian Temple

From there we went back to our hotel in order to pick our clothes and go to Kempty Fall...
The way to Kempy Fall was real awesome. Nice vistas around and we enjoyed a lot riding in those twisties... one of the best part of the whole ride :-). Tried to capture the beauty of nature in my puny phone cam which showed "Battery Low" just after clicking 2-3 frames :-(... so, no pics from now for the day and the trip also as we weren't much interested in taking pics because we were disappointed due to unavailability of the digicam at last moment.


Last set of pics for the trip...

From the Kempty, we moved back to Mall road to roam-around and have dinner after which we headed to our room and called the day off now :-)
