OneRideOneIndia-Day-12

Day 12
        Day started early was 99% all right but again i was sure the time i will hit road....will be more than 100% fine.....started early around 6 am from siliguri towards guwhati.beautiful weather amazing roads and i was again in heaven.the route i took was from sevoke its one of the most beautiful area with lots of tea gardens .as per road condition after i crossed sevoke the highways came but they were partly made or getting constructed.heavey breakfast after sevoke and i was of towards next destination bongaigoan its was a majore town but asusal roads were getting constructed so lot of dust ....i was use to it as its what a travellers whould be ready for.around 3 afternoon halted at sardarji's dhaba had roti daal which was simple but good had tea and slept for an hour on khattia .around 4  i got up and started organising to start the journey again.while talking to truck drivers there i cam to know that golpara route was better so taking there advice i was off to that route.roads were norrow somewhere somewhere through towns but the amazing sceanic beauty was more then a medicine for eyes.it was around 8 i finally entered guwhati.entering a majore town brings a frustration of traffic  but again towns are important to relax and make you fit for another un expected journey.i reached my friend Rachit's place by 9: 30.as usual i bought my medicine and bought a bottle of rum for rachit as he is a rum lover had amazing pork in nepal and nagaland style ....cooked by Vinayaka its was more than enough for a relaxed mind and body.we listen to gutar played by rachit sipping wiskey with pork and i was feeling blessed again to come to the gateway to Northeast part of India.
