An experience called the Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey 2013

DAY 10- CHALO DILLI

The Generals were up early morning briefing the battalion once again- but this time it was more to do with the directions and finding the resort in the hot and crowded capital city. The Himalayan Expressway gave a great start with lovely stretch of roads ensuring that there was no need to get down the bike except for this click.

Rode non-stop from Parwanoo to Delhi covering 300 kms- and with the roads were so good, didn’t care stopping even for a tea break. Approaching Delhi, the slow moving traffic and my riding gear brought back memories of my ride through Jaisalmer- the heat was just too killing. But finally reached the resort early afternoon with a board welcoming us back. Being first to report and quite early- took the room keys, dumped the luggage and jumped into the bathtub……paradise!!!!

Took ample rest throughout the sunny hours of the day and hopped out of the hotel to ride around. Riding through the roads of the capital city was a treat, though the roads were pretty confusing. Spent a few moments at India gate walking around seeing people pose in front of the monument for clicks as if there was no tomorrow. Rode back to the hotel to see the party warming up to a full blast.

The Odyssey was over, but everyone was in high spirits (liquids as well) rejoicing of having concluded a memorable ride to the Himalayas- appreciating one another and expressing gratitude for a camaraderie to be cherished for a lifetime.

Certificates were given away to the participants, both as a token of appreciation plus a testimony for showing exceptional determination where needed, on a ride that was no less than a challenge.
