  • Long way down became a road Trip to hampi


    Near Vashi

    I proceeded to panvel and entered the NH17 (Mumbai Goa Road) crossed karnala at around 8 am had breakfast at a dhaba near pen and started to move forward at one point i was racing with a train on the konkan railway it travels parallel to Nh17


    the grip and the soul both got detached


    Near the outskirts of Nagothane I saw a board Pali 8kms I knew there was a ashtavinayak in pali so headed towards pali went to the shrine and again came back on the NH17


    The Entrance to Pali


    The cut from NH17 towards Mahabaleshwar



    Now the Best part of the journey, started my ascent towards Mahabaleshwar it was something around 40 km from Poladpur, as soon as I started I saw the the mighty pratapgarh at top of the hill (Only visible if one takes the poladpur Mahabaleswar route)


    The walls of the pratapgarh fort atop.

    Venna lake


    I think this way went to kates point


    Some point forgot the name






    Hospet Kolhapur Road

    I refuelled my bike again for 250 rs it was hot so again it was time to offroad and enter a river along side the road i nearly took a bath and even washed my bike.


    After washing my bike to cool its engine


    One can the tracks where i offroaded

        Yes sir night rides i simply love it would be much more comfortable if the oncoming traffic guys use a dipper instead of their high beam
        neverthless i wear sunglasses during night rides

          Great trip..!! The oncoming 'few' cage drivers get excited to use high beams & get happy when they find the person affected & irritated.. Not sure, when they gonna develop some sense. At that point of time, we miss some huge vehicles with huge lights to answer them..!

              Good one there! 1500 kms in just Rs 1000 is commendable
