    Hello guys,

    This November I did a trip to Rann.
    Inspired by all the travel videos around, this time I too recorded some clips.
    Pardon me for poor sound and video quality.Hopefully next time I'll be geared with better equipments.
    Hope this video clip gives at-least a basic feel of what Rann is.

    Some details for people who might be planning to do Rann.

    1) I entered Rann from Gharaghoda which is a small place some 100 kms from Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad --> Sanand --> Viramgham --> Gharaghoda --> Rann

    2) Its quiet easy to roam around in little Rann without getting lost because
    you go in any direction you can find some person making salt.And also keeping track of the direction makes it very easy to find the main dirt track which goes out of Rann.

    3) Do carry enough water,food and fuel as its an absolute desert.Also the puncture repair kit.Unfortunately I didn't had the last one :P

    Teaser pic for now, the video will be up tomorrow.

          Why do you tour alone ??
          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                        Wonderful effort kashif the narration is very good .you should defnitely go for a handle mount cam buddy .Its worth in your hands. Its not very likely that we get to see such videos and places every now and then. I enjoyed the entire video. Happy riding
