Hey, I was india for an year around 2018 end and ending up traveling from Delhi to Chennai (and back) by wagon R, it was amazing. Hope you have a great time. LED
Hi Sujeet, my per day expense limit was 2k. That is like 22k for 11 days. I think my expenditure is less than that & I am currently into the 11th day of the trip.
This is primarily because I am driving less than planned as I have taken 3 break days. Also happened to stay at friends' places or got sponsored stay from friends.
Hmm, I did not do this to be very honest. India as a country has repair facility available at pretty much every nook & corner. At the time of writing this comment, I did see a breakdown but even in hindsight, I dont think I would have figured a way to avoid/own it. I had to rely on experts to fix it for me.
I do have backup plan of being able to sleep on the way if the bike breaks down middle of the night. Hence the camping setup.
I just started to your post and subscribe too

All the best for the trip, Ashish bhai..
What you missed: Understanding of repairing basic defects in the bike, on the go.
