Now it was time to hit the road again after staying in Mount Abu and making a wonderful trip to Udaipur from there. It was 20 km uphill to Mount Abu when I was going there, and I sweated like anything. Now it was time to enjoy the effortless ride downhill. I reached the plains, covering a distance of 21 km, in just 45 minutes, which was a good start for the day. I witnessed a beautiful sunset from the hills while I was on my way down:<\/p>\n

There were dhabas all my way, and I had food at one of them. For the first time in this whole journey, I had such a big meal. Dhabas are known for giving delicious meals and I ordered a full \u2018thali\u2019, which was for Rs. 60. I had my stop planned at Sirohi, which is 85 km from Mount Abu but when I searched for Gurudwaras there and in cities ahead of it, I found one Gurudwara at Sheoganj, 40 km north ahead of Sirohi. So I thought of staying at the Gurudwara itself and cycling to Sheoganj. \u00a0I reached Sheoganj at 1 pm after cycling for 127 km and asked for accommodation. The person who looks after the rooms was out so a lady opened a room for me. I got freshened up and slept for two hours. When I got up and was typing something, a person came and asked me to vacate the room as it was all occupied for the night. I could not do anything, so I packed my stuff back and cycled around in the city, looking for some cheap accommodation. An auto rickshaw driver told me that I could go to Sumerpur city, which was just 2 km ahead of Sheoganj. He said I could stay in a \u2018dharamshala\u2019 there. I did the same but after inquiring at the counter at the \u2018dharamshala\u2019, they told me that only Jain people were allowed.<\/p>\n

Later, I found one guest house where I stayed for Rs. 140. I feel too thirsty these days and need cold water every time. Thanks to the water cooler at this guest house and clay pots kept everywhere in shops, I can have cold water and fill my bottles too.<\/p>\n

I’ve crossed my 3,000 km mark! My total distance cycled since 22 February 2014 is 3,011 km from Kanyakumari to Sheoganj, Rajasthan. I’m excited to cover the remaining distance soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
