A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. On 20th of May 2013, I took my first step from Bangalore as 'The Clueless Rider'. Seven months riding solo around the country, riding through every single state in the country I was overwhelmed by the kindness and the beauty I experienced. I think after this approximately 30,000 Km ride, I might have a slight clue now and from my experiences these are the 15 places that I suggest you definitely ought to visit on a India road trip.

8. Tawang

Reaching Tawang was the most difficult part in my trip. The roads are pathetic. There are stretches where your motorcycle moves in the slush like a raft moves in a rapid during white water rafting. But the views on the route are worth all the discomfort.

7. Sikkim

Narrow roads snaking through lush green mountains interrupted by tiny little waterfalls everywhere is just what heaven feels like. Sikkim during monsoons is just magical. To top that, you have Buddhist monasteries and friendly people that just make your day. I was treated nicely in every part of the country but people in Sikkim have a very attractive niceness to them. The place is beautiful and the people are even more beautiful. It is just a pleasure riding around in the state.
