thanks biru bhaya but there are some awesome shots in your thread liked them very much.

Wonderful pictures! We want more!

For some strange reason, the Vandiperiyar shot looks a little less green - Was it hot and dry in Vagamon ? I thought it was still raining!

WOW the thread is up and getting in its swing. By the way nice name Sagar for the thread.

Just a small piece of my mind regarding the ride or my dream ride to my native. I wont be posting much or any further details as Sagar needs to increase his post counts .
I had visited my hometown Kerala in March 2009 after 9 years and we had taken an auto rickshaw ride from one relatives house to other when I noticed the awesome roads of Kerala. That day I had decided that one day I would ride on the roads of Kerala and even if that meant to bring the bike by train to Kerala. Later in the beginning of this year I started planning for my biggest dream ride to Leh and I told myself that I would do the ride to Kerala in Dec 2011, exactly six months post my Leh ride.
During my Leh ride Sachin Nair and few others showed interest in riding with me to Kerala. The Leh ride got completed in June and I had covered 3500 Kms during this ride. During the first week of August I saw that I had holidays on 13,14,15,19,20 & 21 of Aug. I did overtime and worked from fridday morning to Saturday eve and managed to take compensatory leaves on 16 and 17. Now it meant I need to take just 1 day leave and I get a whole 9 days leave. The leaves were thus fixed. Now it was time to get some company for the ride.
I had approached Sachin Nair and Kishore Embranthiri as they both were keenly intersted in this ride earlier. But due to the last moment ride confirmations they could not accompany for the ride. So then I approached Sagar as I knew he was a student and it is easier to bunk college than take leaves from office also I had ridden with him earlier in a long ride to Malvan for 3 days. Pestered him and he agreed for the ride.
So the ride was confirmed and my dream ride to my native place begins.

Further details along with some mouth watering pics would be posted by Sagar for some reasons mentioned earlier.

Not to forget :- Thanks a lot to Srinivasan Rajagopalan a.k.a steveburnside2001 for preparing the route map for me and Rohit Upadhyay a.k.a Beruoist for guiding me.

@ Ananth - Yeah the Wagamon and the surrounding areas were all dry and hot. We too were surprised by the dryness that too in monsoon

Deepan

to our suprise it was all dry and sweaty we were prepared for worst rains but deepan would always say "yaar apna luck bahut acha hai".
It use to rain heavily when we were indoors like night time but once sun rises rain use to stop and climate was as perfect as it can be.

Deepan mere post counts ki chinta mat kar ab thread chalu kiya hai to post to badtey hi jayege, waise who is interested in increasing post count i want to increase Kms on my bike odo.

Great pics!!! waiting to see more!!

I am hooked on to the thread. waiting for more pics and a detailed trip log

Wow Deepan first Leh and now Kerala how do you manage to get so many leaves dude?? and is that HJC lid, when did you buy this one??

Sagar counting on you for the log Deepan ka bharosa nahi kahi wapas 20 kms ke road ko 200kms bana de

Thats what I mentioned in my eaarlier post, as I had taken leave for Leh ride I was not expecting any leaves for next six months, but then for this I ride the leaves was just by God's grace where I had to take just one casual leave and the rest were for free. Actually had to pay price by working for 36 hrs to get 2 free holidays .
That lid was actually ordered by Puneet, but unfortunately it was a size small to him, so I picked it from him. This was done post the Leh ride.

Yaar tum log toh mujhe kabhi tourer log likhne hi nahin doge, you de-motivate me men .

Regards,
Deepan
