Couple on Bike to Dhanaulti- Day 2

Day -2:

We were out of bed before 0700 Hrs. and got to know that it rained in night too. I checked weather forecast on mobile before looking out from window and found heavy rains in mobile , then I checked outside and as expected there were heavy clouds over hills with no views. We thought of skipping Sarkunda Devi trek because of unfavorable weather (and creating one more reason to ride back there :d). At 9:00 am we started from Kaddukhal towards Chamba and beauty of nature around the road tried to compensate the loss of trek by a smaller amount. We rode with easy pace till Chamba and reached there in no time.

After reaching there we decided to see Tehri Dam (24 Kms from Chamba) and turn handle towards that direction. It took little more than an hour to reach near Tehri Dam because of bad condition of roads and few marriage processions on the road. Relaxed for half an hour at Tehri dam, clicked few pics and returned back to Chamba.

It was noon when we crossed Chamba and entered a hill side restaurant to refill us. Restaurant was newly built but having quite good facilities, food and service (recommended for everyone going there).

After having our fill we crossed Kanatal and reach Rishikesh at 3:00 pm. There was huge traffic jam between Rishikesh and Haridwar, negotiating that jam we reached Har ki Pauri and parked our bike there. Went to Gange's Ghat, sat on the bank and talked about a lot of things. After few minutes we walked to market behind ghats and had some snacks there (puri bhaji, aalo tikki, paani puri etc).

Started last lap of our weekend ride from Haridwar at 5 pm. Roads till Roorkee was in very very bad shape with a less amount of road and huge amount of pot holes with equally huge traffic rushing towards Delhi. Reached Roorkee and took a butt break with Shikanji on a dhaba. Then rode again till Muzzaffar nagar without any relief from traffic (which is obvious part of this road) along with a lot of Barats (due to Akshay Tritiya) on the road. Just before Meerut Bypass, took a brief break for dinner and thereafter rode non-stop till Delhi. Entered Delhi at 11 Pm (because of traffic and took a wrong road because of a stupid sign on the road which is directing towards a closed road for Delhi). Reached home at half hour past mid-night and crashed on bed.
