  • Coimbatore to Kolkata on Bullets-Need help in Itenary

    Hi

    I would like to thank the wonderful people here ,who had helped me alot in planning a 12 days ride but I apologize to the same people for not contributing back. I have lost the trip log that I had with me and the pics are yet to reach me.But will be posting with all info I have once I get the pics.

    I am planning to attend the RM 2011 organized by Eastern Bulls (Mid January place: Kolkata). I have 11 days with me to do this ride. Initially was planning for North East (Sikkim Bhutan) after RM but was told Jan is not the right time for north east.

    This will be a group ride (10 to 15 riders as of now)

    Options are as follows:

    Option 1: Ride from Coimbatore to Kolkata.Attend RM11 and Ride back (Most Unlikely, since it will be extensive riding and no activities can be done within 10 or 11 days)

    Option 2: Send the bike to Kolkata (Bike through Train, Me : catch a flight) .Attend RM11 and Ride back to coimbatore

    Option 3: Send the bike to Kolkata (Bike through Train, Me : catch a flight). Attend RM11 .Ride to North east. send the bike back to coimbatore.(Bike through Train, Me : catch a flight).

    If I am sending the bikes ,It will be mostly through Train(But inputs are welcome).

    For Options 2 and 3 what may be the best Itenary(8 or 9 days):

    Our Interest:

    Hills, Forests are priority and Least priority to GQ (would like to take GQ if there is a time or safety constraint ).

    We are interested in activities like river rafting, camping on the river banks or inside a forest (wont be carrying tents but like to use the facility if available ), Sea diving, Bunge jump, or any adventure sports.


    Thanks in Advance

      I would suggest going via Gati Couriers. It cheap (Pune to Chandigarh, almost 1700 kms, Gladiator sent to my brother cost 2300, Bullet will cost around 3000 I guess.) You dont have to worry about packing as they would do it themselves for a small additional amount. The delivery is quick and prompt. All you need to do is to walk in there with your bike, and copy of RC and Insurance. I have used their services a few times and they have been good.

      My personal experience with Railways has been very bad, lot of paperwork, pathetic attitude, bribes, and huge delays and damages.

      In case you decide to go for this, the Gati Address in Coimbatore is:

      NO. 16, SOWARIPALAYM MAIN ROAD, OPP. P S G HOSPITAL, (WEST GATE), PEELAMEDU PUDUR, COIMBATORE
      COIMBATORE

        I might ride from Kolkatta to coimbatore either through

        Or through

        Orissa-> AP->TN

        Either of the ways I have 8 days to reach Coimbatore. I am planning to ride alternate days and Do some adventure activities in the days between

        I am in touch with www.100miles.in lets see how it goes.

        Any adventure filled itenary is welcome. Eagerly waiting with open eyes
