With a heartful of sorrow after being stopped by armed post as Lachung route got temporarily closed due to landslide and snowfall on road I had to return to Gangtok to cover it and obtain fresh police pass for silk route. My tourism permit was valid for 6 nights so i had to make a tough decision, returned Gangtok and covered Banjhakri falls and shared info about spending some time at MG Marg and shopping details.

Finally the day came... i was waiting for... Although almost 60 percent of my journey was still leftover but winning Gurudongmar on my scooty was the ultimate challenge for me.. Stick around in entire journey and witness the challenges faced by me. With gasping for oxygen as i had to literally get down, walk uphill and accelerate my scooty, i had nil calories left over. Dslr batteries were dead in extreme condition and over recording before reaching the lake. Thanks to my power bank and action cam who helped me shoot the lake atleast.

Ultimately the journey began around at 1:30 am on 16th Nov 2020 solo on my 5 yr old scooty. I was mentally prepared for one hell of a ride but was not sure about the outcome of the trip. My aim was to reach Siliguri on 1st day but on road vlogging killed time and scooty speed was also an issue. So i stopped over at Raiganj for a 4 hr nap and decided to cover up next day and reach Gangtok directly at any cost which i did. The story itself became unique when i faced challenges riding on a 100 cc scooty hero pleasure. Stick around and find it in every episodes starting from this one. For permit, hotel and vehicle bookings contact Mr.Vivek (Mob-9679900110), trustworthy, professional and very punctual at providing any kind of service at affordable rates.

A wish to ride to Sikkim by my 100 cc scooty knocked my mind 8 months back but prolonged lockdown kept me waiting. Its a task which i was still not sure whether i can do it because riding uphill terrain with almost 60 to 75 degree slope that to on a gearless 100cc scooty with all luggages on it seemed to be impossible. Many advised me to scrap the plan. But I could not get it off my mind. I decided 'LETS DO IT' , will see and face the problems accordingly and the most negative thing can happen is i return unsuccesful or may not return also if i meet fatal accident. I took the risk and stick to my heart and rest is history. I added a solo camping plan as well for first time and bought a tent and carried it all the way with me. My plan was to cover North and East Sikkim. All the episodes will be released weekly twice on Sunday and Thursday at 9 pm. The story is not only about me .. its a story of a 5 year old 100cc scooty and its journey to cover 2009 kms all the way. Stay tuned and enjoy the series .. @FINALDESTINATION
