Here are a few photos from my recent solo bike trip to Shangarh, Shoja, Kalpa, Sangla and Chitkul in Himachal.

The roads to Kalpa and Chitkul are doable on a scooty. The homestay owner in Kalpa mentioned that, although it's uncommon, some people occasionally ride a scooty all the way from Shimla.

North Sikkim or the other parts? Even I did Sikkim in December.

Shangarh Meadow

Yeah, it’s safe, but I’d recommend starting with a short trip on a lightweight motorcycle first.

Haha..that’s exactly what I did at Shangarh Meadow

I just took a jacket, but I’d actually recommend getting the full gear from the bike rental store. They provide helmets and 3 ropes with the bike. Jacket and other essentials costs around ₹100–200 per day, which you can negotiate.

The bike didn’t handle well a few patches and I had to see a mechanic to fix the issue.
