Day 1 Chennai - Ooty:
It was Apil 30th Thursday night, after completing our office work, I went to Ajay's house. When I reached there I saw all of his room mates were boozing except Ajay and cursing us in jealousy. We got every thing packed and had a light dinner. We both started from there around 00:00Hrs (1st, MAY) filled the tank in the near by bunk. We took chennai-B'lore (NH4 & NH 46) highway, I'll tell you this is an awesome road for bikers. We had our first tea break at Vellore . After vellore we were going right on track and after vaniyambadi we missed a left (to reach salem via tirupattur). we didn't bother anythin and continued straight towards krishnagiri. We saw a huge signboard which states turn left for kanyakumari and right for B'lore. We took left and in the next couple of kilometers we had another tea break. Then started our journey towards salem. We had immense pleasure as it was dawn and we were riding in between the mountains, so we thought of having a photo shoot at the dawn and the sunrise. By morning 6:30 we reached Salem and on the way from salem to erode we were stopping at almost all the restaurants but breakfast was not ready evan at 8:30 am. Thanks for the choclates which we carried. After some 100+ Kms from salem we for one roadside hotel. God we were very happy and had a heavy breakfast. These birds were there in that hotel From there It was a single stretch towards mettupalayam. At mettupalayam itself there was a hell lot of trafic jam but we somehow managed to get out of that jam. We hit the ghats road and it is really tough riding bike in this peak vacaton period as it was crowded with lot of 4 wheelers. One of the Hair-pin bends One of our close encounters view from our room After riding through green roads we reached ooty. By this time we were really afraid of weather we'll get accomodaton or not. But we were lucky, as we got a room at the very first hotel we enquired and I'll tel you it is a heaven on the mountains. Botanical Garden Our accomodation Night View from our room We kept our bag at the hotel and started roaming in streets of ooty. My god at this time of the year each and every road in ooty is flooded with tourists 4 wheelers. Went to botanical garden and relaxed there for a while, had some good pics and then returned to our room.
