Cycling Expedition - Bhakra Dam

The spring season in northern India is at home now. On the foothills of Shivalik Hills at Nangal what best could be other than hitting the road on cycle and explore Bhakra Dam with new look of nature in Spring.

This time I was not alone as Jaideep Yadav was all set to join me with his new Hero Octane Cycle.

Our expedition began at 07:00 AM on March 11, 2012 in relatively cold weather from Nangal. We carried bare minimum stuff with a bottle of water and chocolates. We thoroughly enjoyed empty roads and roads along Nangal Dam. We crossed first check point and stopped for a tea break.


The track ahead was steep uphill until last destination. We slowly moved up and enjoyed the cycling track a lot.

While on the way back we stopped at Nangal Dam and the beauty of water was amazing with sun shining on it.


The total distance we covered was 17 kilometers with a gain of 200 feet in altitude.
