A ride of a lifetime, as a group of bikers hit the snow covered mountains!
Uttarkashi on the face of it seems to be a pretty lack-luster destination especially when you compare it to exotic places like Kinnaur, Reckong Peo, Spiti or Ladakh. Some 400 odd kilometres from Delhi, out of which 150 km are in the twisties, Uttarkashi is a town that can be a great springboard for reaching some amazing places further up into deeper Himalayas. Dharali was our place of choice for some extreme winter action this year. Christened Snow Storm 2017 (yes we’d done one last year in 2016, a pilot version and things had run well then) a bigger version with more participation was planned this year. Spearheading the action was Where Eagles Dare, an amazing adventure outfit based in Uttarkashi and run by an xBhpian Tilak Soni. It had been my long time wish to see more riders enjoy extreme winter riding conditions not just as visiting travellers but also end up learning about motorcycling in such low traction conditions as also about taking care both of themselves and their machines in sub-zero temperatures. Tilak and I had joined hands last year for the pilot run of this event and though we got some snow only on the very last day, it was enough to prove the possibilities of fun and learning such an activity would hold within. Little did we guess at the time of reaching out to people for participation this year as to how much snow the weather gods would bless us with.
