Hi bari Kumar,
Its wonderful to see ur blog. I was searching for some thing related to purnia and found ur blog. excellent piece of work.
Being native of Purnia, read the blog carefully. So nostalgic to read about Hotel Harsha (supposedly the best hotel in purnia)… and the bugs…

I enjoyed ur blog. Thanks a lot. Just a correction in the blog, I am not sure if you caught “NH-3″ to come to purnia. It shouold be “NH-31″. In case you want to know more about Purnia(which I think u will not), please visit the site.

Pankaj!

lol .. glad to see my apprehensions about this state weren’t entirely misplaced !
I did all I could to avoid riding through this state last to last month. I was willing to cross countries even, to get around it.
So I switched tracks from India (Gorakhpur) to Nepal (Butwal) and then onwards, till I exited close to Darjeeling. While coming back I took the airways, while the bikes came by train.
In a nutshell - Avoid the State of Bihar like plague !
But then you guys were on another trip altogather ! and helmets off to you for that !
I’m pretty much awed by this ride you guy’s had done. Bari,Dinesh and Navroze.. I stand impressed. Hope to meet you on the road sometime !
