RIDING AND OFF ROADING UP THE NEW PANDU-KAMAKHYA ROAD AT NILACHAL HILLS - PART 2

Photo Travelogue :
Read first part - Here!


In my previous post, I had rode up the amazing Nilachal Hills where the famous Kamakhya temple is located. Its the old road that has been used like forever ( since the temple is very ancient ). With the new alternate road coming up, I was tempted to see it first hand. Its a more picturesque road that runs along the edge of the hill, giving a more closer look of the river brahmaputra. This road reaches the temple from the other side and I was really thrilled to ride, as this road was more challenging - almost verticle at places, so steep. Here's my entire trip in pictures. Enjoy :-)


these roofed walking & viewing tracks are a hallmark of this route...


newly contructed, patches are still under work, hence, had to off-road quite a bit...


another gorgeous hill, I guess, its still untouched...


isn't is simply gorgeous?...


mighty brahmaputra peeking by the corner of this hill...


the finished part of the route...


even though its very steep, its very clean and quite nice to ride, albeit, carefully...


signature, rock!


wow...

one can easily mistake it for some hill-station, alas, it is guwahati!


I'm in love with it already...




the famous saraighat bridge view...


beware of landslides, these wounds are still raw...

lets enjoy the views...



entire northern banks of the brahmaputra is visible from here...


once complete, I'm sure, this will be the new hangout place for locals and visitors alike...


finally, its time to bid bye to the awesomeness...
So, did you like it? I sure did. Loved it infact ;-)
