Backpacking India On Road

It's sheer stupidity and not adventure by bikers on a ride to Spiti valley enroute to Batal in July 2021. Mishap And Calamity waiting to happen. Water crossings become dangerous with every passing hour during the day because of melting ice in the higher altitudes.  https://t.co/d4TifIKa67  

The bell for Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is ready. It's a single cast piece, easily the largest, 6’ X 5’, weighing 2,100 kgs, made of "Ashtadhatu", a combination of eight metals -- gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, tin, iron and mercury. The bell will be transported to Sri Rama Temple in Ayodhya from Ramakrishna Nadar Vessels Shop in Eral, near Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. Listen to its mangala naada. It will drive the evils away. This bell sound can be heard up to 15 Kms away. Chant Jai Shree Ram to vanquish all evil on earth 🙏 (Edited by Deep Banerjee) . . . * HowIndiaTravels

Solo Road Trip from Hyderabad to Lucknow (Hyderabad_Lucknow) by Indian Roadie Anubhav Kumar in July 2021.  Car: Kia Seltos Petrol NA  Route: Hyderabad - Nagpur - Seoni - Sagar -  Jhansi - Kanpur - Lucknow.  Distance: 1100 kms on NH44 and 300 kms on NH27 from Jhansi.  21 July 2021: Left Hyderabad at 5.15 am ... raining heavily all the way to Seoni where I reached at 2.45pm. Total drive was 620 kms. NH44 is bliss. Stayed at Motel Center Point right on highway. Food is very good.  22 July 2021: Left Seoni at 4 am. Reached Sagar at 7.30 am. Met old friends and had breakfast at Satyam Shaba. I was previously posted in Sagar during 2015 - 16. Left Sagar at 8.47 am and reached my home in Lucknow at 5 pm.   (Courtesy: Indian Roadie 'group' post dated 2021-07-23 by Kumar Anubhav, PSU Bank Manager, Hyderabad)

I (Deep Banerjee, Founder - Indian Roadie, Backpacking India On Road) am based out of Kolkata. I have always maintained that I am most uncomfortable driving around in West Bengal. If a person like me who has grown up and worked in WB and has travelled widely across India mainly for work and partially for vacation, spanning over nearly four decades expresses such fears, there must be a lot of substance in such apprehensions.  For roadies from Odisha and the five Southern states who prefer to drive via Kolkata during their trips to Darjeeling hills, Dooars, Sikkim, Bhutan and the seven North Eastern states, a need might arise to halt in Kolkata or any place in South Bengal.

While driving from/ to Kolkata, I normally take th...
