  • [Photo Feature]: Ride to the Scotland of India (Coorg) for Pandi Curry and Coffee

    The last time we planned to ride to Coorg, we ended up riding all the way to Wayanad. (http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/1...ll-coffee.html)

    So the urge for Pandi Curry and Coffee beckons us again and its time to head to Coorg, the Scotland of India.

    The best part of this ride is that we have folks joining us from Chennai and Tirupur as well.

    Here is the plan.

    Depart from Bangalore: April 2nd, 2011 (Saturday)

    Agenda: Ride to Coorg, overnight stay on April 2nd (Sat) and April 3rd (Sun).

    Return: Morning of April 4th (Mon) from Coorg.

    Please note : Its a holiday for some of us on account of Ugadi, hence staying over on sunday night too.

    Initially i was thinking of a 1 night stay but it would be too short for the Chennai gang, plus with only one evening, sightseeing and exploration of the district would be sacrificed. Hence a 2 night stay.

    As of now, here are the confirmed riders.

    1. Sunnyside up - Ninja 250R (Chennai)

    2. Xinfii - Ninja 250R (Chennai)

    3. karthiktup - Yamaha R15 (Chennai)

    4. n_aditya - Ninja 250R (Bangalore)

    5. Alok - Ninja 250R (Bangalore)

    6. Rajiv - Ninja 250R (Chennai)

    Ark (Reggie) is yet to confirm his entry.

    I have made a booking at The Nest (www.coorgthenest.com).

    April 2nd Saturday -- 2 rooms available and booked.

    April 3rd Sunday -- 1 room available and booked (+ living room for 2 pax in the main house booked).

    Each room accommodates 2 people + 1 (extra bed). I have asked for mattress etc. for more people which will be provided.

    In all probability the Chennai folks will stay over at Bangalore and we will be riding to Coorg together on Apr 2nd.

    Please let me know who else is confirmed (100%) so i can make arrangements.

    Oh yeah, tarriff is 3k per couple inclusive of all meals, evening coffee/tea and snacks.

        That works out to Rs.1500 per head per day for food and accommodation, right?

        I think Karthik from Tirupur can only make it for one night. But thats ok I guess - let those who want to stay over for two nights.

        I think 0-60 (R15) from Chennai is also interested. Will ping him on this.

        Will also check with Anant ( Comet ) and Ravi (250R) and revert. Rajiv is checking with Senthil also (250R) .

          Last i checked the tariff was 1.5k per head all inclusive. I dont think the rates would have changed but will check and update if it has.

          Is Anant's bike fixed? I read his post that he is off rides for the next few weeks/months due to some issues with the bike.

            Adi,

            This is different ananth. He rides a comet. I guess you have met him before at yelagiri.

            Sunny are you riding in a single day or splitting it up into two days?

                You know me - I like to take things easy - planning to ride out to Bangy on the 1st, crash for the night after appropriate libations and then ride out with the Bangy boys on the 2nd. Leave Coorg on the 4th and crash again in Bangy or Krishnagiri on the 4th before returning home.

                At least that's what I'm thinking.

                Rajiv and Ravi will probably join me and I think maybe Senthil too. Need to check with Praveen about his planned itinerary.

                I think Karthik from Tirupur on his R15 will want to leave a day early though.

                  Yep, have met Anant at Yelagiri. I thought Anant's comet developed a nagging issue so was surprised.

                    Ravi can't make it but Rajiv is in. Anant ( Comet ) wont be in town that weekend but I think Senthil ( Ninja ) will join in.

                    Waiting to hear from 0-60 regarding his ride plan. I think Senthil will hook up with him as he has limited leave days.

                          The chennai riders will mostly pit stop in Blore and we'll ride together from Blore to coorg on April 2nd (Sat).

                          We must leave early like 5am so we reach coorg early. The day gets really hot and its unpleasant to ride in the scorching heat.

                          We are staying over for 2 nights and will leave from Coorg on 4th April (Monday morning).

                          P.S. Sunny - please confirm if all the riders from chennai will stop over in Blore. What is the plan? How many riding down for this G2G from Chennai and other parts of TN?
