OneHelluvaRide coming up

I cannot believe that it is almost two years since I wrote anything on this blog. Stupid, stupid me. And so much has happened since the last time I logged in, travel wise. The annual pilgrimage to Ladakh. A great return trip to Bhutan. A shot work related trip to Calcutta. A gorgeous and exciting trip to Rajasthan and Gujarat. And then the many trips to Himachal Pradesh over the past couple of months. So much to do, so much to see and so little time to do it all in.

Also have been very busy putting together the expedition - OneHelluvaRide. A massive and daunting 20,000 mile journey from the Indian Ocean to beyond the Arctic Circle. Across twelve countries and two continents. Two of us on motorcycles and one on an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle). The trip is expected to take more than four months and we will cross India, Nepal, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kygyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Finland, Norway and Sweden. We hope to see the Northern Lights when we spend about three days camping beyond the Arctic Circle. This is going to be a trip of a lifetime and me and the entire team is really looking forward to it. Come June 6, we should on our way.

I hope to log on more frequently. Do take a look at the website (http://OneHelluvaRide.com) and give me your thoughts. Till the next time, ciao.
