Last couple of years have not really been that great for me in terms of traveling. Busy schedule at work and then some turmoil in personal life ensured that I remained limited within the borders of Delhi. While I was still able to manage a few short trips in 2016; I could not venture out even once in the entire year of 2017. This was really a big deal or maybe a big drawback for someone like me; someone who tries to rush out even on Saturdays and Sunday and be back at work on Monday. So my resolution for 2018 is to change it completely. I am not sure if I will be able to really stick to it but the idea is to go out on at least 12 trips in 2018; that is one trip for each month.<\/p>\n

If I am able to do it successfully, then it will probably be my best year in terms of traveling. The most I have done so far I think were 9 trips in one year. Keeping my fingers crossed. Let us see how it goes. I will post a detailed log of my trains at our Community Forum<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

12 Trips in 2018<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

    January<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

    Even the start of the year was not good. No trips in the entire month of January. Planned a couple of rides, short ones over the weekends, but had to cancel all of them. Big plan for now is of a winter ride to Spiti Valley in 3rd week of February. There is not much snow in Spiti this year. It is almost dry all across but I am hoping it will change in Feb.<\/p>\n

    \n
    February<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

    Plan for February was to go to Spiti valley but unfortunately it did not snow much anywhere. There were just a few inches of snow in the valley and it was not really the white Spiti I wanted to ride to. So I cancelled the plan to visit Spiti but was able to make one trip in this month to Prashar Lake. It was overall a great trip. We found some snow at the lake and even camped there for the night.<\/p>\n

    \n
    March<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

    March proved to be another unsuccessful month for me in terms of keeping up with my resolution. It was a busy month at work with all the closing of books everywhere. I did plan a short ride over the weekend a couple of times but it did not materialize. Overall, 3 months gone and just 1 trip. Not going so great so far. Hoping to turn things around in April and planning a short trip either towards Landour or Chail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
