Valley of flowers Trek

Which Route followed?

Haridwar->Dehradun->Mussoorie-> Haridwar->govindghat->gangaria->valley of flowers->Hemkund->Govindghat->Haridwar->Delhi->Mumbai

The main essence of our trip was Valley of Flowers Trek in India which includes Hemkund Trek too, Rest all places were like” to visit once instead of hearing about it many time”. Our trip was of 10days in August the month of 2018. You can always crop plan by planning separately Mussoorie, Dehradun.

How to Reach Valley of Flowers Trek in India?

Our first destination Mussoorie, for this we caught a train to Haridwar from Bandra at1 PM and then we took another train to Dehradun (~2Hrs).

You can take a flight direct to Dehradun or to Delhi and from there you can find buses/personal car /train- many options.

Stay: First Day stay was at Dehradun at ‘Mandakini’ hotel which was near the Railway Station and on walkable distance.

Food: Dinner was at one of the Dhaba near to hotel ‘Ustad da Dhaba’ and the taste was pretty good, in fact amazing.

2nd Day – Mussoorie

One can visit below Places based on season/Weather at Mussoorie :

  • Lal Tibba (6kms)
  • Kempty Falls (5kms)
  • Gun Hill(0 km)
  • clouds end(6kms)
  • Company Garden
  • Mall Road
  • Hapy Valley/Mini Tibet
  • Camel Stone

This map will help you to decide the sequence of places to visit if you are planning on your own else you have Cycle rickshaws.

In the morning we took a bus from Dehradun to Mussoorie (~30km) there was heavy rain since it was Aug month :).  Will recommend to always see weather condition before visiting such places and best would be winter/Apr-June season. Personally, I liked exploring this place in the rain too.

BTW, the Morning view was something like this in Mussoorie.

After a few clicks, we had breakfast in the hotel ‘Padmini Niwas‘ which blessed with a scenic view. And, it was near a bus stop. After spending 1 hr, we headed towards Chamba Mussoorie company garden by cycle rickshaw. Since Locals suggested us not to go kempty falls due to heavy rain and I believe -going against nature is always loss. Garden was 3km towards kempty fall where you can see the small nursery, wax museum, artificial waterfall, small lake, and also a food court. It was well maintained, we also tried their traditional dress there. It was fantastic.

The next stop was Gunhill 400 feet above mall road

 There we have the option to reach by ropeway but we had preferred the walk to this point. You will enjoy the journey by witnessing beautiful weather, Top view, luckily that time clouds were clear on Top. There were a small temple and food stalls, local shops.

It was ~3 PM, though there was heavy rainfall, we decided to go for a camel stone view. We did walk of 2.5 hr on the way. You have telescopes to view camel shape stone (there is no actual camel) and beauty of nature around it. There was nothing much to do in this way but it was a very peaceful calm road. In the end, we got a small break from the rain and decided to say bye to Mussoorie.

Due to rainfall, there was no bus when we reached the bus stand and another thought popped up to climb down the road by a walk that was adventurous. 10km we walked down and then we saw Mussoorie Lake which is another tourist place and then we observed buses were running up and down. So, without a second thought, we took bus from there to Dehradun. There was a lot of traffic due to rain but finally, we reached Dehradun, Had dinner at the same dhaba and then rested out at the hotel after a long day.

Mussoorie -max 1.5 day require to cover all places very peacefully and will have a different experience in winter for sure. Prepare for the Valley of Flowers Trek in Uttarakhand, India.

 

3rd Day -Dehradun

In Dehradun, one can visit below places:

  • SahastraDhara
  • Tapkeshwar Temple
  • Robbers Caves
  • Mind Rolling monastery
  • Paltan Bazar

In the morning, after breakfast we started for ‘Sahastradhara’ struggled a bit to get transportation. we learned there are autos with specific numbers allocated to different places. we searched for ‘2’ which was for the nearest stop to sahastradhara but unluckily we couldn’t get one so we caught a bus to get drop-in between. From there we took personal auto. Our driver was local and had a good understanding of places so it was worth. This place is actually very isolated and away from the main road. you should have personal transportation or you can also do a small trek till there.

Sahastradhara was the very scenic place, as its name defines it is actually a thousand cascading continuous thin waterfalls. There is a historical story behind this from Mahabharata. You will find their sulfur water spring which has its own medical importance.

At this location, you have ropeway to go 150rs/Person from where you can enjoy the top view which was something like this.

Next Stop supposed to be Robbers caves but due to rainfall, the level of water inside the cave was raised and the driver suggests not to go as one needs to walk from that water. Then the driver suggested Tapkeshwar temple of Lord Shiva and really it was amazing.

it has a very amazing architecture and calm place situated inside a natural cave. You will find water drops from the ceiling of the cave (that’s why it’s Tapakeshwar ) hence continuous thin stream on shivlinga which is very interesting and spectacular.  I think it’s must visit the place.

The starting point of the Valley of Flowers Trek is Haridwar

Same Day at ~6 PM we caught a train to ‘Haridwar’ since our Trek pick up for the next day was from Haridwar Railway Station.

So we took Stay near the railway station, ’Trishul‘ hotel. Very compact room but we were ok as it was just 1 night, in fact, few hours only. We just wrapped up our bags, got fresh and went to attend ‘Ganga Arti’ as we heard a lot about it. It’s a different beautiful experience but felt sad also about the Ganga river as it’s badly getting polluted and people still don’t care.

That day Ganga river water level was raised due to heavy rainfall. Few clicks from there…

Haridwar is much crowded and many hotels, restaurants, very commercialized. At the end of day, we had dinner at chotiwala and then must have ‘Khir’ at Hoshiyar Puri. Get Ready for Valley of Flowers Trekking in Uttarakhand

 

4th Day – Valley of Flowers Trek in India

 Haridwar -Govindghat 

Basically this day was our 1st day of ‘Valley of Flowers Trek’ via Himalayan Climber. Our Valley of Flowers Trek in India package starts from here. We were having pick up at 6 AM from Haridwar station to Govindghat (~275km). The road was too dangerous after all it was Uttarakhand. Due to landslides, our car stopped at Chamoli. Driver asked us to get down and suggest a route to get pick up from another location towards Govindghat.

 It was a 1 km walk down. Finally, in the evening we reached Govindghat. We met our guide ‘Pushkar’ for a complete trek. The base camp of Valley of flowers monsoon trek is Govinghat, India. Govindghat is a very remote village, naturally beautiful. You will be in the lap of the mountains, always from mobiles, network. There you will find only BSNL network, that too not always. From this place, Badrinath is just 25km but not recommended in the rainy season.

5th Day – Govindghat to Gangaria

Our Backpack was ready to start 14km walk/climbing towards ghangaria. Pushkar has done all formalities to submit all documents and then to get permission for us.
First time to climb 14km straight away. Valley of Flowers Trek in India starts from here.

we started at 8 Am. The Valley of Flowers Trek in India, the view was breathtaking.

You will forget all your problems and will think just about nature, people who stay there and their challenges. At some point, you will thank god for what you have and will be proud to be part of a beautiful country. These mountains were teaching like ‘Be strong as me’. Valley of Flowers Trek Uttarakhand India, is amazing with the fantastic view of the mountains and greenery all around.

we reached around 5.30PM to Gangaria. It was very tiring; legs were paining but worth it. Gangaria was the too remote place. You can find hotels then there itself, we were not having advance booking. Pushkar arrange room for us, its not that great but today we need badly sleep to get ready for the next day to ‘valley of flower’.

6th Day- Trek to Valley of Flowers in India 

From Gangaria, Valley of Flowers’ is ~5km, you will just get engrossed into nature. Nothing much to say. There many different kinds of flowers, mountains and also waterfalls -just enjoyed walking through this valley. Defined trail and very easy trekking route till Phoolo ki ghati.

we had packed up our lunch from Gangaria itself. You won’t find any shop at this place so plan accordingly.

On the same day, we came back by to gangaria by 3 PM. In the evening, we watched a movie in’ valley of flowers’. I would recommend watching this before actually visiting valley of flowers. Valley of flowers trek in india is really awesome with this natural beauty. Enjoy the trekking trail and then back to Ghangaria.

greenery all around

 

7th Day – Trek to Hemkund Sahib and back to Ghangaria.

The trekking trail of Hemkund valley of flowers Trek through the real beauty of this area till Hemkund sahib. Hemkund Sahib – holy place, one of the highest peak and at highest altitude gurudwara in India. The total trekking distance is around 6Km stiff climb from Gangaria. We started at 8 AM something at a target to reach was 11:30 AM.

Since gurudwara gets close at 2 PM something. You have a predefined route, in between food stalls available. You will see all aged people in this way to visit gurudwara. On the top, you have hemkund Lake. Unfortunately, due to fog we couldn’t get a clear view of it but we had Langar at Gurudwara  And, then back to Ghangaria. 1 PM we started climbing down to Gangaria with a lot of many memories.

People can face issues with breathing due to high altitude but you can always rest and start walk. There is another option, you can get horses, man cart. Man cart something saw the first time, one human is carrying another human.

Hemkund sahib lake

 

8th Day : Valley of flowers trek in India- Back to Govindghat

on this last day of Valley of Flowers Hemkund Sahib Trek in India, we climbed 14km down from Gangaria to Govindghat. We reached 3 PM, received Network in-between. So, everybody got busy for a few minutes. That day Govindghat bit crowded then we understood Badrinath bus couldn’t make to Badrinath due to landslides. So, all Tourists from that bus get down to Govindghat.

The next day we supposed to reach back Haridwar, due to heavy rain and landslides it was hard to find transportation to Haridwar through Pushkar was trying hard to get one.

Since there was nothing much to do so always be ready with some entertainment stuff too.

9th Day – Govindghat to Haridwar

I remember it was 5:45 AM. Pushkar knock our door and asked to get ready in 15mins since he stops one of public transportation bus to get a drop to Haridwar. Somehow we managed to pack our bags and get into bus.

Our train was at 11 PM to Delhi from Haridwar but we couldn’t make out thought ~7 PM is usual time bus reaches to Haridwar. Why? here it is.

The journey was super adventurous, narrow roads, heavy rain, landslides. On the way, we got stuck on the road due to landslide and it took 5 hr to clear the road. we got a seat just behind bus driver so we could see how dangerous to drive in the rainy season that too on a narrow road, these drivers must get some awards. We reached Haridwar at 11:15 PM and we missed our train.

I must say, we missed our train but still we happy just because we reached safely to Haridwar. We booked ~5 AM train to Delhi since it was a long day.  We had a flight to Mumbai in noon.

~11 AM we had breakfast in Delhi then everybody flew to their own way to home.

Taka Tamut, the 9th person from Arunachal Pradesh, India scales the world’s tallest peak Mount Everest Expedition

It was like a specter arose in front of my eyes. I then knew – it was my fear. There we were, 6,500 meters above sea level, climbing from camp 2 to camp 3 and my sherpa was injured. Who can curse a falling rock, when we’re in the midst of nature and at its mercy? Our sherpa was wounded, and my teammate, Kishon, and I had to decide on the next steps. A helicopter answered our radio for help and rescued our sherpa. What should we do now? Should we turn back or inch our way towards camp 4, the proverbial Death Valley and attempt the Mount Everest summit? It had been a long journey for me. A 26-year-old civil engineer from Jomlo Mongku in Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh to scaling Mount Everest Expedition, the highest peak of the world.

 Mount Everest Expedition

Attempting the 8,848 meter-route without a sherpa has its challenges – and some would call it foolhardy. The Mount Everest Expedition route was unfamiliar to me, though this was my second attempt.

Last year, in 2017, I almost made it to the Mount Eeverst summit – unfortunately, my sherpa fell ill at camp 4. He had developed altitude sickness and needed help. I shared my oxygen tank with him and decided to accompany him to the safety of the base camp. What use was it if I didn’t make it to the Mount Everest summit without him, and died in the attempt? If my sherpa lost his life because of my desire to reach the summit, how could I face his family? The summit felt close, it beckoned me. Yet, an inner voice said: No, we both needed to live because life was more important than to climb Everest that season. Mount Everest Expedition would always be there for us. And the only way that would happen – if we were together.

 Mount Everest Expedition

I’m proud of the decision I made that day. It was a tough one, but now I climbed it and I’m still alive as well as my sherpa.

Today, this decision felt equally challenging. My friend and I decided to carry on, though we knew it could be life-threatening. I felt I had to break the jinx this time. The words from my mentor, Romeo Meetei, rang in my head, “Never give up.” Simple words, but here – high up on this dry snow desert, these words seemed more powerful than anything.

 Mount Everest Expedition

Climbing up from camp 2 to 4 meant scaling up 1,500 meters. The air grew thinner – and the path became tougher. There were times when the climb was almost vertical – 90 degrees. The sheer physical strength required seemed daunting while the mental fortitude was even greater. On a few occasions, we had to cross narrow ravines on ladders. Might sound simple – but the sight of the sheer drop when crossing the ravine on a wobbly ladder was absolutely terrifying. I was hooked onto the safety lines, of course. One wrong step, a stray chunk of snow rolling by, the feeling of my weight pressing on the ladder – any moment could have been my last.

 Mount Everest Expedition

Yet, we managed a good pace and even got help from another sherpa. I fought the urge to use an oxygen tank. I wanted to do this my way, and challenge myself thoroughly.

Climbing Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen is putting yourself through the ultimate test. Oxygen levels at the summit (8,848 meters) are 1/3rd that of sea level. The lack of oxygen can do many things to your mind and body. Combine that with the harsh terrain. Hallucinations, frost bites, altitude sickness – the list is endless.

 Mount Everest Expedition

The basic mountaineering course at NIMAS Dirang Arunachal Pradesh and advanced mountaineering course at the HMI Darjeeling Climbing Institute helped. The experience of scaling other peaks came in handy. Like when we climbed the 6,153 meter- high Stok Kangri in Ladakh and the 8516 meters- Mt. Lhotse and the Mera Peak (6470 meters) in Nepal. In a way, I felt I was training all my life for this climb. From the small peaks, I could conquer to reach my school when I was a young teenager to now. Yet it  for good reason that Mount Everest Expedition is called one of the world’s deadliest peak.

 Mount Everest Expedition

The physical strain started getting acuter, and my breath became getting heavier. I began taking a break every few steps to gather my strength.  The Yellow Band, between 7,000-8,000 meters, was very tricky and dangerous. After 19 hours of continuous climbing, we reached camp 4. It was a spectacular sight. The view looked surreal. The stark white of the snow, reflecting some shades of blue as a relief. My friend and I rested there, bracing ourselves for what lay ahead. I had to force myself to keep up the routine of heating snow and drinking it slowly. It was imperative that we keep up with the regular water intake of 4-5 liters when climbing.

 Mount Everest Expedition

I decided to rest for one night without supplemental oxygen. I knew it could be dangerous – but I wanted to keep up with the challenge because we had only two bottles each on hand. From the next day onwards, I began using supplemental oxygen. We had to wait for the right weather conditions. The window to carry on up would be very tiny, and we would need to grab it wide open.

Usually, there are only a few days in May-June every year when the weather is perfect for the ascent. This is the time when one can see other fellow mountaineers who are making similar journeys – all focused on reaching the summit. Though it is heartening to see others, the weather conditions are grim. And tucked inside a bulky mountaineering suit, struggling to muster the strength to carry on – we can do little to help each other. Even when there was a strength, there were many moments of helplessness. The ascent is a quiet reminder of this.

 Mount Everest Expedition

The highest 8848 meters of the mountain is called the death zone. Many mountaineers risk meeting their end.  We were above 8000 meters where the air is thin and the weather, brutal. Yes, I did pass by some dead bodies – I tried not to see them too closely, or wonder about them – though, amongst the vast white snow desert, the bright mountaineering suits would stand out. My crampons scratched to a quiet halt, while those figures lay there mummified by the mountain’s weather conditions. They lay there with their complete suits while the mountain remained unconquered. Yet they had conquered the mountain too – in their own way. However, their end was cold and abandoned.

I kept focusing on my breath and used it to remove the fear and panic that would set in. I would change my mental patterns using the rhythms in my breath. For months, I had practiced the Sudarshan Kriya technique to increase my lung capacity and dispel fear. Although I was unable to practice it in this thin air, I still used the basics of breath control to help myself. And encouraged by Meetei who first introduced me to the technique, I practiced it regularly. It had kept me in good stead. Even in the parts of the journey where I seemed relatively safer – slopes with softer ascent angles, though bent almost double with exhaustion.

 Mount Everest Expedition

On May 23, we began the final push to the ascent at around 8 pm. Unfortunately, after walking for an hour, the other sherpa refused to climb because of his breathing problems and experienced high altitude sickness. We took him back to camp 4. Without any support staff and carrying the remaining two oxygen bottles each, Kishon and I decided to go for the summit. It was around 10 pm, and we kept going through the night. I was leading that day which was challenging for me. I had to deal with high-speed cold wind and clean the rope as well as clear the path.

 

I was more experienced with climbing in higher altitudes and used all that to help Kishon: changing his oxygen bottle, feeding him warm water and high altitude food. We could see the summit and used the permanent rope to hold and guide us. The rope, the yellow light from our head torches flashing around, and an inner strength that kept fading and growing stronger. Day broke, and I saw more figures making their way to the top. We were all lucky to be there on that particular day. Usually, there are just 12-14 clear days in the whole year that can propel you to reach the Mount Everest Expedition summit. And this was one of those days.

 Mount Everest Expedition

9 am, May 24: It almost felt like disbelief. Kishon and I unfurled the Indian flag. A long-awaited dream had come true. The sight from the summit was unreal – with a vast sea of clouds rolling by. Over 4,000 people had reached the peak so far, and now, my name was etched on the mountain. For eternity. I was on top of the world – literally! If I were to draw any parallels, I only knew this – it was my World Cup, and Olympic moment, all rolled into one.

Exhaustion took over the rapture, and we soon began the descent. That was tougher that one could imagine. The Mount Everest summit was reached. Yet it only half the work done. Descending safely was just as critical. At that point in time, it was tough to keep focus.

 Mount Everest Expedition

Exhaustion was taking over, my backpack felt heavier, I  scared to pause for a few moments – afraid I might fall asleep. Yet, I couldn’t resist taking a small souvenir from the Yellow Band – some light yellow rocks. Kishon and I kept pushing each other to carry on – we had to make it back to base camp. And finally, we did.

As the entire experience started sinking in, I  aware that many hands and hearts were responsible for me to reach here. The director of youth affairs, my family, KDO and ABK Personnel, Rajeev Takuk, Ushi Tangu, Toi Modi and Tamiyo Taga, and Art of Living.  They  all my cheerleaders and supported my dream in different ways to become an Everester.

 Mount Everest Expedition

July: My parents have also been quiet and not the kind to fuss over their children. When I returned from the summit, I greeted with ordinariness. No fuss, no elation. The daily humdrum of life set in. However, when some media ventured to find me, and when people dropped by to congratulate me, my parents realized the remarkableness of my feat. And they were proud.  We  even felicitated by the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh.

I’m hoping to start an adventure sports venture, which will inspire other youth to take up mountaineering. I’d like to help others like me who come from humble backgrounds but dare to dream. I want to tell such youth: Never ever give up on your dreams. If you constantly work for your dream, nobody will stop you from your goal.

 Mount Everest Expedition

 

It’s not like life has suddenly changed – the struggle to make ends meet is as real as it was earlier. But I have changed from the inside. I know that whatever I do, I will give my all. There is always triumph at the end of a challenge. And I’m ready for it.

Roopkund skeleton Lake summer Trek

Now a question arises here – what makes this roopkund trek terrain so unusual?

Is it the icy mountains?  green sedative meadows? Is it the quiet pearls of snow?  the wild animals?

And skeletons all scattered, spread down in silence not only on land. But swimming inside the lake to making the atmosphere dramatic and thrilling.

If you have a strong attraction towards the supernatural, you can also stick on the whole night adding some spice into that. Apart from the beliefs researchers and scientists discovered that the skeletons are the remains of people who got killed in a violent hailstorm in the 9th century. And they couldn’t find a place to protect themselves as the nearby village was 35 km away.

Though scientists vary in their research and findings for adventurers the vibes are the same i.e. adrenaline rush at the highest. You have to climb and walk over slippery snow to reach the top of the Roopkund Skeleton Lake Trek full of mystery and thrill. Besides this, a roopkund trek within the densest oak forests over 3000ft above Wan awaits anxiously. And a climb to junargali a ridge beyond and higher than Roopkund Trek.

And the surroundings full of vivid colors and a story to tell. Not only has the breathtaking and sheer beauty of the place mesmerized you. But the smell of beautiful and religious festivals too.

And a larger celebration Nanda Devi raj Jat takes place once every 12 years at roopkund in which goddess Nanda is worshipped. The place is enchanting, picturesque, naturally luxurious and all set to fill your heart up to sanctity.

But the highway connecting Dispur to Shillong was in a proper condition for any kind of normal driving and the views on the way to Shillong was immensely beautiful. On highway we ate pineapple which is a benchmark fruit in that area and we enjoyed it a lot.

After break we again continued our journey and in between after approximately 45 minutes one of our team member “Ghanshyam Raghuwanshi” got injured with a drastic accident while riding to downhill.

It was already 7:50 p.m. and due to rain and muddy area we didn’t took risk to go ahead for Kumarghat and decided for night stay in “Ambasa” at circuit house reception area as none of the accountable person was available at that time.

The road at the first approximate 22 kilometers was fine but after that we took a bit very long time to cover 20 kilometers as the road was uphill steep which needed more pressure on cycling. I used 2nd gear front and 1st gear rear for smooth and comfortable ride.

One of my friend “UmangBakshi” saw my instagram status and contacted me. He gave very important news that due to Christmas occasion and rituals the local markets is being closed and so he sent one of his local friends “Zoa“ and “Michael” to receive us in the middle of the journey and took us to Zoa’s home for Lunch. There we discussed the next day route with Cyclist “Michael” and he guided us that due to Christmas occasion the market was all closed so we won’t be able to find a small teal stall as well. So he instructed us to go to Manipur via Assam. So we decided to change our route for the next day trip.

 

During lunch we enjoyed the occasion with different Mizo-food items and cakes. The local person “Zoa” and his wife were really supportive and kind for tourist like us.

It was an immense surprise and inspiration that father Francies a 63 year old paralyzed by left hand still use to ride cycle individually without any support vehicle. And it was a breathtaking surprise that “Binay Kumar Sahu” who was not having a left hand and use to ride cycle solo and that also without any support vehicle. After meeting these two personalities we realized that we still are a learner and needs tremendous practice.

Then we started our Journey towards “Kohima” capital of “Nagaland”. The trip was totally boring as the road was totally in worst condition full of dusty due under construction condition.

Then within 15 minutes we resumed our journey towards “Kohima”. After reaching there, we went to state police control room Nagaland to inform them about our expedition and entry in the logbook. Then we reached to “Dimapur” city of Nagaland at 5:30 p.m. As we got a telephonic reservation for stay at a hotel in “Bokajan” city of Assam.We decided to cover 18 kilometers extra to reach for the night stay location. In between those 18 kilometers I faced a problem at last 2 kilometers with 2 of my team members. The route was mismanaged by them and then we had an argument on that after reaching to the hotel at TNC Bhavan Bokajan. Our Leader named “Nizamuddin” gave a silly reason and ask me to leave the expedition.

Total Distance covered 121.2 km o day 15.

 

30/31 December 2018

Today morning at 6:05 a.m. our leader Nizamuddin and another team member named “Bharat Chaudhary” from Gujarat separated me from the team and continued their journey without informing me and another team member “Ghanshyam Raghuwanshi” who got injured during the trip and took all the cycles with them in the supporting vehicle.

Departing with no reason, my senior team member and leader in a very unusual and inhuman way shocked me a lot. However being an alone female in an expedition I didn’t lose my passion and courage and even for a single moment didn’t thought to give up as it was my dream to complete it at any way, which nobody has done earlier in the history of cycling expedition of north east state of India.

Me and my team member “Ghanshyam Raghuwanshi” were almost broke up due to such deception by our team members. I am a mountaineer since 2015 and he is also a mountaineer since long time, so by nature we learned so many things and one important thing that we learnt is to stay calm and do brain storming for different solutions of the problem. So in that situation we stayed calm started to find different solutions for the present problem as my willpower and aim was to complete this expedition by hook or crook. So we decided not to give up and first we called my parents and told them about incident.

They were in tension and worried about me because I was somewhere in North-East region which was totally new place for me. But my friend Ghanshyam talked with my father and assured him for my safety and handled the situation very well. Then my parents got agreed with my decision and allowed me to continue my journey which enhanced and boosted my willpower to complete my goal.

After that we contacted our cyclist friends who are in contact with us and asked for help. We got one of the local cyclist friend contact named “Marnungden Walling” and told him the entire incident. Being affectionate for us he told us not to worry and not to give up. He came to our location in his car and took us to his cousin’s place to manage another cycle for me. The cycle was not in proper serviced condition as I needed to cover long distance, so I called another friend named “Supuraj Gogai” from “Guwahati” and asked him for help. He informed us that one of his friend in Nagaland owns a cycle showroom and told us to visit there for new cycle.

As it was Sunday the showroom was closed so we came back to our hotel and stayed there. Next day morning 9:30 a.m. we reached to the showroom and it was my lucky day that there was only one piece of cycle of same company and model which I needed. My friend Ghanshyam helped me to buy that new cycle with all cycle accessories from Dimapur, Nagaland. Then we need to arrange a support vehicle, but as it was 31st December we couldn’t find any. So we requested an auto driver to come with us up till Golaghat (70 kilometers) as our supporting vehicle. It was full of pressure and tension on me and my friend for those 2 days. But with a positive and supportive help from our friends mentioned above we were able to continue the journey from next day.

On 31 Dec 2018, Cycle bill which I bought from Dimapur, Nagaland.

 

Day 16 (01/01/2019)

Bokajan (Assam) to Majuli (Assam)

Early in the morning 5:30 a.m. with New Year of 2019 and with new positive beliefs I started my journey with new cycle from “Bokajan to Majuli”. We reached to “Golaghat” 70 kilometers from “Bokajan” and there we arranged a new 4 wheeler as our supporting vehicle. We were very Thankful to the Auto driver “Vidhyut” who helped us in our bad time.

Upto 132 Kilometers it was all straight and perfect road. But after that we reached to Bhramputra,Neamatighat at 2:20 p.m..But the ferry was already departed. So we took our Lunch their and waited for next ferry trip. The next ferry trip was at 3:30 p.m. and so we crossed the Bhramputra River and continued our journey. “Majuli” was only 7 kilometers after crossing Bhramputra River. So I and my supporting vehicle continued our journey and reached to Majuli at 5:00 p.m… After separating from those two members I realized that solo I can cover more distance. So I was fortunate that they left me and my injured friend for solo ride.

It was 5:00 p.m. and we were totally ready to cover more distance but we have to cross another part Bhramputra River through ferry which was closed after 5:00 p.m. So we decided to stay at “Majuli” for night stay. That’s how I completed my first solo ride covering 149 Kilometers.

Total Distance covered 149 km on day 16.

 

Day 17 (02/01/2019)

Majuli (Assam) to Bishwanath Chariali (Assam)

Majuli is a largest river island of Asia and it’s famous for its traditions and its vibrant culture.

I started my trip at 6:03 a.m… The road totally messed up and we also use to cross a farm in between which was very tough for our supporting vehicle as well. But still we covered and reached to ferry on time.

After crossing Bhramputra River we went to “Itanagar” capital of “ArunachalPradesh”. We reached Superintendent of Police’s office at 1:45 p.m.. There we completed our procedure of logbook and verifications and then we took lunch. After Lunch we resumed our journey and covered 160 kilometers. Before 15 kilometers from “Bishwanath Chariali” had an awesome dinner in just 130 rs. for 3 persons and that also tasty and delicious. After that the locals over there had conversation with our Assamese driver who told them about our expedition, they were so surprisingly inspired and they honored me and my team member with Assam traditional scarf which known as “Gomcha” in local language. The locals were very helpful and guided us to stay at “Bishwanath Chariali” as there are good staying facilities in hotel. We reached at 10:00 “Bishwanath Chariali” covering 175.5 kilometers in solo ride.

Total Distance covered 175.5 km on day 17.

Bishwanath Chariali (Assam) to Dispur (Assam)

Today I was full of confidence with a fixed goal in my mind to reach “Dispur” capital of Assam from where we started our journey. So I started my journey along with my injured friend in supporting vehicle at 6:12 a.m. and reached to first rest point Debendra Nagar and took our breakfast there. After breakfast we resumed our journey towards “Tezpur” a bit slow from our decided time. After crossing “Nagaon” we got a proper highway with fully perfect 4 lane road which help us to cross maximum distance with short time. In between the highway we use to stop only for 10 minutes for minor break for water and light snacks and took lunch at Amoni. We continued our ride till “Jogiroad” at 8:00 p.m., and took our dinner and rest for 1 hour there.

With a constant focus on my goal I decided to carry on the trip and started my journey at 9:00 p.m. again to reach to the last and final location of this trip “Assam Dispur state zoo” where we started our expedition. In between there was a light rainfall but that didn’t stop me to continue my trip and at last 11:11 p.m. I reached to the flag off point. My other two deceptive team members reached to the spot just 1 day before which make me realized that I am much faster and better than them and if I would have covered this trip in a solo ride I would have covered it within 16 days. Anyways “Where there is a will there is a way”.

Total Distance covered 237.9 km on day 18.

 

Special thanks to whom, who is part of my success: I am truly grateful to the all friends, colleague, senior official, government authority, state police department and others who supported and motivated me to complete the very courageous expedition within the stipulated time frame. Without their support and help probably I could not have completed my goal as specified.

My parents who always been very supportive. I personally thank following members who helped and supported me for completion of cycling expedition, namely: Ghanshyam Raghuwanshi He taught me about how to do paddling in uphill and how to do cycle servicing and some basic things of cycle.
