Another update on our travel.
After about a week in Rishikesh, on 4 May 2014 we rode to Amritsar on about 450 km away. Amritsar is our last point/city before we enter into Pakistan. On the way, we stopped for 1 night at a place call Ludhiana , just to see what the town could offer, however nothing special about this particular town.
The 2 days ride to Amritsar was trouble free and also the Black V had performed extremely good.
In Amritsar, as usual we did the touristy activities, we visited The Golden Temple and also the Changing of Guards Ceremony at the Indian/Pakistan border. All in all, we spent 3 days in Amritsar because besides the 2 above mentioned activities, there was nothing much to do in Amritsar. Furthermore, we need to continue our journey into Pakistan.
Altogether, we have stayed for 24 days in India (16 Apr to 9 May), all in the Northern areas. We love this country but unfortunately not as much as we love Nepal. One of the main thing about India that became the issue for us was the chaotic traffic situation and the driving attitude of the people. Otherwise, all are good and we had a wonderful time in India.
