Along the Alaknanda

It took us a day to get from Haridwar to Joshimat. We hired a sumo and drove up the mountains along the Alaknanda River, past the 5 prayags of the Ganga – Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Nandaprayag, Karnaprayag and Vishuprayag. The winding roads are maintained by the Border Roads Organisation (666) and thanks to them we got to Joshimat in the late evening on Day 3.

Here are some gems from the BRO

IF YOU ARE MARRIED

DIVORCE SPEED

THIS IS NOT A RALLY RACE

DRIVE WITH GRACE

NO RACE, NO RALLY

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE VALLEY

EAGER TO LAST

THEN WHY FAST

FOR SAFE ARRIVING

NO LIQUOR IN DRIVING

MOUNTAINS ARE PLEASURE

IF YOU DRIVE WITH LEISURE

ON THE BEND BE CAREFUL FRIEND

THIS IS HIGHWAY

NOT RUNWAY
