A day by Charriderman who traveled India by bicycle is like this

No transportation costs are required at all. Instead, it is a bicycle journey to advance with your own feet. I will shorten the distance gradually aiming at the destination. What you are doing is a sugar progression by 1 mass in a day, like a golf one stroke per day. Still, I will definitely reach it unless I give up no matter how far away.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis.Traveling in Sri LankaAfter reaching India, which was a survival of the whole world around the world. It was full of anxiety about India who only heard disgusting news such as rape and fraud, but once you start running it will do something. While connecting the cheap hotel, we will extend the distance.

◆ Introduction
World newspaperThe travelers who wrote "If I go around the backpacker world I will send this one day"When ordinary Arasa girls travel around the world they will spend such a day"An ordinary day spent by backpackers in Varanasi along the river GangesSince the article such as "It was interesting," I wanted to introduce one day of Children, "I also wrote an article. India descends from Mumbai and aims to become Agra with Taj Mahal. The day I ran about 96 km from Guna (Guna) to Shivpuri on April 3 was like this.

◆ 07: 30 wake up
Hope is at 6 o'clock, at least at 7 o'clock, the goal was raised at 7:30. Although I have not come to the early morning, I can not get up easily.

In most countries, I have breakfast bought the day before, but since I can not find it in India, I am eating cookies. I do not feel hungry until that, but I want to put out the poop from the morning. I do not want to search for a toilet and get sick while I am running. A morning toilet is a barometer of your condition. I try my departure with refreshing my body and mind.


I cleaned up the messy room and packing was done. We put it in five bags of rear pouch bag, duffel bag, daypack, tent, washbowl.


◆ Departs 09: 00
The room of the cheap hotel we stayed was the 2nd floor of the building, so we will drop the package separately in two times. First of all, the bicycle is lowered and the key. There is a danger of the theft that every locked key bicycle, but it will be okay if there is a traffic light. Go back to the room, drop the bag, and put it on the bicycle.

We assembled up during the temporary return from last yearDoppelganger's folding bikeI'm on a trip.


Recently, such a driving style. When I was a little young, even a short-sleeved shirt was fine, but when I got sunburned in Mexico, my skin became a stain at once, so I have worn long sleeves since then. From sunglassesStretched mirrorIt is convenient for backward confirmation, one of the items indispensable to travel.


The guys who were watching the start work with Ji-tsu. I have decided to take a picture. It was handsome.


On this day the town called Guna started. Because the Indian morning is late, traffic in the city is less. I know, I'd like to start a little earlier, though.


Go through the city. Perhaps I thought that it was a highway, but it was a bypass that bypasses the city.


I will also advance a narrow road of 2 lanes this day. Despite this road, traffic volume is so hard that it is difficult. On a dump truck or heavy-duty truck, a loud horn sound like a retro game sound effect is sounded and played on unpaved road shoulder. The overtaking truck that comes closer to the opposite lane at a tremendous speed is fear. Asphalt also has holes and waves, so I am tired from running.


From Mumbai, to the Indore which is about 600 km away is the highway that goes to Switzerland. When it was a great time, I felt the service road and the economic development of India in three lanes on one side, but after that the country road continued. Before Agra, the highway finally resurrected.National Highway 3I ran all the way.

◆ 11: 00 small break
I ran about 30 km and took a break. To keep driving safe, you need to change yourself.


Bottle juice 200 ml is a market price of 15 rupees (about 30 yen).


◆ 11: 15 Run again
However, I want to have as much room to take pictures as possible, not just to run entirely.

A shepherd and a flock of sheep.


Japan is a season of cherry blossoms, but India also attracts brilliant flowers.


When I am traveling in India, I often stop talking to you so I often stop. However, the opponent often talks only in Hindi, can only convey about "I am Japanese", "Running from Mumbai by bicycle", "Agra, heading to Kathmandu". Despite being unable to communicate, Indians are not good at speaking of being bad because they are strong. It is cute if children.

I took a picture with a smartphone, so I asked for one too. I am wary of it, but most people are good people.


◆ 13: 30 lunch
When I ran about 60 km, I will have lunch. There is nothing in the vicinity, but because it is a highway, there was a dining room serving as a resting place for heavy trucks.


I hope I have a menu, but I do not have time properly. "Rice" because I want to eat rice, then a combination of "Dahl (beans)" or "Curry". And check the price, order if there is no problem. The buffet with 40 rupees (about 80 yen) that came out was a taste of India where spices worked.


A man with a good width that spoke to me.


Uncle who appealed "Take me as well."


◆ 14: 30 Run again
Truck of skeletal structure that we see occasionally in India. Will it be assembled somewhere and become a finished product?


Supply of water. It is helpful to get the cold water in the kumquin.


◆ 16: 40 Today's Town
Rushed into the town called Shivpuri which was the destination of the day. I went smoothly because it was flat. Because there is a bypass in this town, large cars can not enter the city center.


There are no large cars, but buses, passenger cars, tuk tuks, tractors, motorbikes, cows, pigs, people, stalls are bustling city centers. To avoid hitting, I will pay close attention to not hitting you, looking for an accommodation today.


◆ 17: 00 Today 's Inn
Looking for an accommodation in India who was depressed by asking "I am refused to stay" beforehand from a friend 's Charrid. Surely I am also told that "There are lots of rooms" and I have given up on several occasions. Only Indians can not stay. Foreigners stayed in a lot of procedures and they seemed troublesome. However, while saying so, the case of refusal to stay is rare and I stay in a cheap hotel every day. Passport face photo page, Indian visa and entry stamp page, the inn takes a copy so it is smooth if prepared in advance.

Although the police officers in the city arrived after being advised by "DELHI HOTEL", this appearance is likely to result in over budget ....


Fearful price confirmed. The price of the cheap hotel in India is different with the AC of the air conditioner and Non AC of the ceiling fan. As it was a cheap Non AC price of 500 rupees per night (about 1000 yen), it was decided promptly. In India, we often stay at cheap prices at this price.


There is no problem even putting a bicycle in the room. It was a large room, so I was relaxed enough.


Toilet / shower without a feeling of cleanliness. The shower is a bucket and it is a bathing.


When I arrive at the room, I drop off my luggage from my bicycle. Shoes, helmets are arranged under the bed My rule.


I recommend charging because it can be cleared up before going to bed.


Prepare a plastic bag to be a trash can.


When washing, place detergent and place it soaked, dirt often falls. It is troublesome to carry, but wash basin for laundry is a necessity for me. It is a hot season in India, but since I have a cheap hotel, I can wash it, so I can change my feelings every day and be able to run.


◆ 17: 40 Walking in the street
Since I want to take pictures while I am bright, I took a walk around the city. The sunset will be around 18:30 if this time.

I found an ice cream of 10 rupees (about 20 yen) at a stand.


Next, handmade lemon squash of 20 rupees (about 40 yen). Add spices, seasoning and soda water to freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir. This time sweetness is not good. It is the best if the sweetness, sourness, salty taste is balanced.


◆ 19: 30 dinner
Even though it is in the evening, India is full of people, so I have dinner at about 19 o'clock.


Dinner with dahl (bean) and rice, same as noon. Without the menu, you can only order as much as this. The slender rice, as it is, the mouth is Pasapasa. The spicy sauce is too tasty as it is. By combining sauces and rice, it is just a good seaweed.


I often ask for bottle juice in the dining room, but I did not have this time so I drank sugarcane juice that was on sale at the shop. The cafeteria also brings tap water to the cup and brings it, but I am afraid of hygiene environment so I can not put it on my mouth.


It is like a habit of Indian people to put mouthfeel like sugar with flavor like mint after meal. Although I tried it several times, as the inside of the mouth gets messed up and a scent of muddiness comes near, I can not get used to it.


◆ In the 20: 30 room
Start up a personal computer and enter daily data such as running and expense. India got a prepaid SIM, so on a smartphoneTetheringBy doing so you can also do the Internet.


I found a cake shop in town, so I ate a cake for dessert after dinner.


I finished working on the PC, cleaning up the room, preparing for tomorrow, going to bed around 23 o'clock.

When I run in India, it is almost like this every day. Even in other countries, if the cheap hotel is main, it will be similar. Movement tends to be longer compared to backpacker, but I think that the waste of dropping in overseas towns with few people to know is the real pleasure of this trip.

I ran about 1200 km on 12th, arriving in Agra with Taj Mahal, with a break from Mumbai 4 + 2 + 4 + 2. The journey of India is on steadily going on. In the same way, next time I plan to run to Varanasi with the Ganges river.
