[Photo Feature]: Ride to Ajanta-Ellora Caves – 04th – 07th Nov, 2011. - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Nagesh Patankar · 11-18-2011, 11:05 AM

Hi all ! I am Nagesh Patankar and sorry for such a delay in posting the trip log but was really tied up with personal and professional commitments. Please allow me to share a few things before I start my first trip log here on XBHP. Ok

Thanks in advance. So here it is:-

I used to ride a lot. However, it’s been almost a year that I have not been able to take my bike anywhere out on a long trip. I felt as if I would never ride again. The reasons? Well, first - I suffered an accident few months back in which I almost said hello to the almighty. However, the almighty was kind enough to send me back for some more rides

. Secondly, I got married in Feb, 2011 and things automatically started to change (many married guys out there would agree to me

). Thankfully my wife turned out to be equally enthusiastic and excited when she learnt about my love for bikes and my past weekend escapades.

It had been quite a few months – almost a year that we [ group of 6 friends – Sachin, Mandar and I (Nagesh) and our respective better halves ] had been together on a road trip. Obviously I was getting restless. Not knowing really what was the reason behind it, until that one day when I joined XBHP in August, 2011. I must say that It was because of this move that the riding bug bit me again. I went through numerous travelogues and various threads under the section “THE TOURER”. That’s where it all started. I am very thankful to XBHP and fellow xbhpians for arousing the rider inside me.

So finally I decided to plan a long ride. I spoke to Sachin (Casba Foundation – Facebook Page) about planning to go on a long ride. He was equally excited. That’s when he and I began to discuss when, how and where. Soon we were supported by our respective better halves. Sachin came up with an idea stating, “Can we make it a different ride this time compared to our regular weekend rides”? . I said , “Yes , why not”. In a couple of days, as we discussed and exchanged ideas , we came up with a concept. It was – To combine biking with Heritage Conservation as it is one of the fields in which Sachin works through Casba Foundation.

By this time, Girish, my younger brother had also joined us and he named it “Team Casba”. Then once the concept was clear we decided to plan and organize a ride under the name of “Tour Indicus (Facebook Page)” as an annual event. As the concept goes we had to decide about a location which will suit the concept. Soon we narrowed down on Ajanta-Ellora caves. Eventually we published the details of this tour on Facebook in July, 2011 and guess what – we were really surprised to see so many applicants in such a small period of time. We had decided to freeze the entries by September 15th, 2011. However, we had to stop entries in August itself. We never expected such an overwhelming response to our concept. Please visit the facebook page for all the details.

I think it’s enough now. It’s time for me to update the travelogue. Please forgive me for any mistakes made. Its my first ever trip log

. Here it goes –

DAY ONE :-

The route decided was :-
Bhiwandi junction –>> NH3 ->> Asangaon ->> Shahapur ->> Kasara Ghat ->> Igatpuri (Bypass) ->> Ghoti ->> Turn Right for Sinnar ->> Kopargaon Junction ->> Yeola ->> head straight to Vaijapur ->> AURANGABAD.

It was decided that the first batch will meet at Gharda Circle,MIDC – Dombivali East at 5.30 am and depart at 6.00am sharp. Since we had a few participants who wanted to accompany in a four wheeler we had arranged a Tempo Traveller. It also acted as a back up vehicle. We started at sharp 06.00am and reached the second meeting point near Kalyan-Bhiwandi junction. The time decided for the 2nd meeting point was 6.30am. Here we were suppose to meet up with the guys coming from Mumbai. 3 bikes – one from Thane, one from Khar and one from Dadar. So in all there were 9 bikes and a Tempo Traveller. It was a group of 28 individuals. A brief introduction session happened and after that we re-iterated a few points about safety, discipline, road manners etc which were already shared with everyone through the Tour Brochure.

We started our ride at sharp 7.30am and WHOA …. J The super smooth NH3 opened up in all its glory. It was one of best stretches of road that I have ridden on till date. The smooth 4 lane highway blessed with some wonderful and breathtaking landscapes was something that words can not express. As they say, one has to be there to experience the mesmerizing feeling. From the Bhiwandi junction onwards we cruised at decent speeds, say around 70-80 kmph. Initially it was a little difficult to control the group because the individuals were riding together for the first time with each other. So it takes time to adjust to each other’s riding styles / speeds. Everyone was given a number in the group and every individual was expected to follow the rules set for riding in a group. As we were cruising nicely our first pit stop was approaching. It was already decided to halt just before the Kasara Ghat. So accordingly we halted at a suitable place just opposite to the petrol pump (IOC, BP, HP ?? don’t remember the name ) at the start of the ghat at around 08.30am. We had packed UPMA for everyone. Everyone just hogged like anythingJ . I believe it was because everyone must have been up by at least 5.00am in order to ensure they reached their respective meeting points in time.

Anyway, after a tummy full breakfast and good cup of cutting chai we all were ready to roll. It was 09.15 am. My friend Sachin (one of the Organisers) was leading the group and I was at the end. The Tempo Traveler / back up vehicle driver was informed to stay behind the group no matter what. After all it was suppose to be our back up vehicle. As soon as we started to ride we were blessed by some nice twisties and the smooth tarmac was the icing on the cake. However, a truck driver who had parked his truck by the road side informed our lead rider that there was a Neeta Volvo which was stranded exactly in the middle of one of the ghat sections due to a tyre puncture. He advised us to go slow. Soon we came across this huge VOLVO bus stranded in the middle of the ghat due to a tire puncture. This lead to some slow moving traffic especially bacuse of the big trucks. To our joy it lasted only for a minute or two. Our group safely went through that section and we all started to enjoy the ride again.

I was given a special permission to keep changing my position in the group. This was to ensure that every rider was maintaining the group formation and was riding at an appropriate pace. Being positioned last in the group I thought this permission was really a blessing. So taking full advantage of my position (being one of the organizer :P) I decided to explore the twisties my way J. However, I could not really lean my bike as I had a pillion L. All I could do was take on the corners at a considerably high speed compared to the group with just a little lean. I was well aware that with a pillion it could be dangerous. Hence, did not experiment much. Still it was heavenly to ride on those smooth roads. Once the ghat was safely negotiated we kept riding the NH3. We came across this famous hill station – Igatpuri. My memories from a recent weekend drive ( not ride L) flashed my mind. I could remember how I cursed myself for not going there on my bike especially after looking at the super smooth NH3. Those memories made my ride on this patch of the NH3 more exhilarating.

Our next pit stop was at the diversion / exit for Sinnar. So we kept riding till GHOTI and there Sachin was waiting for all the bikes to gather. Soon all the riders arrived one by one. After a small instruction session we were off again. After riding for about half an hour we came across a few wind mills. To capture the windmills in your camera is something to crave for. Now the next halt was suppose to be Sinnar for lunch. After a good 1 to 1&1/2 hrs of ride we stopped at Hotel Mejwani (Sinnar) for lunch. The clock showed 12.00pm . The food was good so everyone had a nice tummy full meal followed by buttermilk. Some guys ordered for tea instead. After almost an hour’s break at Sinnar we sarted to ride again. Now the next stop was kopargaon Junction. Of course we did stop in between for nature’s call and our suttas :P .

The ride now was a bit tough. We were running a bit off the schedule as a lot of time was spent during lunch and the road was not that great. Hence, the speeds dropped considerably. Finally after a bum beating ride we reached Kopargaon at 2.15-2.30pm. This was needed because a couple of riders as well the back up vehicle were left behind. The 2 bikes that were left behind arrived quickly. However, we had to wait for 15 mins for the Tempo Traveler to arrive. So after a quick break of 10 mins we left Kopargaon junction to reach Yeola. Yeola was decided as our next pitstop/tea break.We reached Yeola in about half an hourat 3.00pm. We ordered for a much needed cup of tea for everyone. While others were enjoying biscuits with tea , we enjoyed our sutta with tea. Of course hiding from the 3 elderly people that we had with us :P.

After 20 mins we geared up again, paid the bill and started for the final leg of riding for day one. The time was 3.20pm. From here on I must say that the road was so good that it reminded the NH3 that we rode till Ghoti. However, this lasted only for about half an hour. This is the boundary where the administration of Nasik PWD ends and that of Aurangabad PWD starts. The road from this point onwards was the worst of the entire trip. After riding for another 45 mins we reached Vaijapur bus depot. Here again we took a 10 min halt as we wanted the entire group including the back up vehicle to be together. It’s a little confusing here. One should know exactly which road to follow. It was like a very crowded chowk with 4 roads coming from4 directions and one could easily get lost.So within 15 mins we started off again.It was 4.45pm already. I must say that the road condition did not improve. We expected some better roads but to our disappointment the roads now were just pathetic. Pot holes and what not. It seemed like people have started ploughing the road instead of their fields. There were vertical cracks (or whatever you call it) all the way. We were left with no option but to ride safely and slowly. Our bikes took a lot of beating along with us.

After 90 kms of tiring and frustrating ride we reached the out skirts of Aurangabad and finally to our lodge ‘Tourist’s Home’on the Railway Sation road. It’s 5-10 mins away from Aurangabad Railway Station. Thankfully the lodge was nice. Basic amenities but it was spacious and clean. They had 2 buildings – one was old and the other quite new. The old building had only non A/C rooms while the new one had both types - A/C rooms and non A/C rooms. However, we had booked our rooms in the old building which had a tinge of old style architecture with a lot of wood being used. The luggage was unloaded from the Tempo Traveller and soon everyone was busy making themselves cosy in their respective rooms. About half an hour later everyone started gathering near the dining area. All looked surprisingly fresh. Eventually after a good day’s ride we found ourselves engrossed in some nice veg/non-veg food.

After the dinner everyone seemed happy and relaxed. There was a small session arranged after dinner. Our invitee scholar Dr. Manjiri Bhalerao (PhD) was going to share some information about Ajanta and Ellora caves and discuss a few points about Heritage Conservation. The session lasted for about half an hour and soon we called it off for the day. Some guys wanted to stay back for some time. Especially the guys. That was good because it helped everyone to know more about fellow riders, while the others including the ladies decided to get the much needed sleep.

The climate was much better than we had expected. Even during the day except for an hour or so, we hardly suffered from the heat. It was surprisingly pleasant all the way. Regarding the ride for the day, I would say we had a few hiccups. I think it was because all the other riders (except a couple of us) were new to each other and hence, took some time to adjust. Also some time was lost while confirming the route. Yes, even after surveying properly we were lost around the Vaijapur – Aurangabad stretch.

We were aware that even though the the rules were set, it was our duty to see that every rider enjoys the ride. The rules should not be a reason for disappointment. Hence, they were given instructions at appropriate intervals about the road condition and what speed is to be maintained. So there were some stretches of road where the riders just ripped their bikes and enjoyed the ride like hell. Similarly there were some patches of road where everyone was informed to ride at an appropriate pace depending on the road condition. However, at any cost the discipline was to be observed srictly. Of course for safety reasons.

Its good to recollect all the fantastic memories of "TourIndicus'2011 ride". Hope you add more to it!!!

Haroon · 12-05-2011, 12:54 PM

Nagesh- I just caught up with your thread now. Sure seems like a very interesting ride organized there esp since you have combined a group ride with a family atmosphere and heritage conservation. And, what better destination than Ajantha-Ellora for couples

Ride safe and waiting for more.
