Day 2

Started from Chandigarh at around 8AM.

1st stop : Solan Valley - wonderful valleys stacked against one another. Ecstatic views to behold

2nd stop : Sadhupul - Valleys with a flowing river in between ; what more one would want 😍

3rd stop : Chail - Yet another hill station in himachal which claims to have serene atmosphere and breathtaking hill views.There we visited world's highest cricket ground and Kali tibba temple (must go place). The Kali tibba temple offers everything that a travelling enthusiastic soul needs. I can't describe that in words how peaceful and relaxing the place was.

4th stop : Kasauli - Mountains and more mountains promises to take you to another heaven.
We went there to visit sunset point, Gilbert's trail (a small trek around the cliff). The views were amazing !

Most importantly the ride from Chandigarh to these hill stations and the journey back to the former was full of mesmerizing scenery that will be with us for a long long time. The journey is the best part to cherish.

After reaching Chandigarh with stack full of mountain experience and memories, we went again to pal dhaba to have dinner and end an overly satisfying day.

Good morning day-2 ! A long day still ahead

Day 1

The most awaited as well as my first bike trip outside of my hometown was overly exciting to experience which undoubtedly would stay fresh within myself for a long long time !

So the story goes as this !

We started from Gurugram at around 6:00AM in 2 bikes. Breakfast halt at Murthal !

After 2 water breaks on the way reached chandigarh crossing panipat-karnal-kurukshetra-ambala. The ride was pretty smooth thanks to good roads and full of adrenaline.

After reaching Chandigarh we checked-in at hotel Golden Brooks at around 1:00PM.

We started our exploration at 5PM.

First stop : Sukhna Lake - Calm and peaceful environment to spend the evening.

2nd stop : Elante Mall - To experience the glittery and top brands showroom from outside😆.

3rd stop : PAL Dhaba - most famous dhaba in Chandigarh to have some lip-smacking punjabi delicacy. (Must visit place).

That's all for day 1 !

The mountains were calling and we were one night away from meeting them 💙.

Halt at Murthal for breakfast

Day 3

After a fully loaded day 2, day 3 started after a long hours of rest and kicked off with a tasty breakfast.
After checking out of the hotel we began our return journey ! The time has come to say goodbye !

On our return journey we stopped at famous Rock Garden of Chandigarh to have a round around. The place was full of sculptures, architecture, monuments made with thousands of varieties of rocks; that suitably explains its name. If architectural aesthetics pleases your sight, then this place would be intriguing for you !

After our visit to rock garden we sprinted back on our return journey; Had lunch at Murthal ; reached at our destination to complete the cycle.

Hotel Golden Brooks ! - We stayed here ! It's a well maintained hotel to have a wonderful stay at chandigarh
