    Thanks Biru bhai.

    Yes, it was crowded and the tourists, gorey log were all around . My friend booked a hotel cum lodge in Baga beforehand. We stay the same place whenever we visit Goa. (It is after Manchester United club and before Tito's lane).

      Awesome road trip.

      Enjoyed reading the travelogue and great pictures.

      Just curios! Is carrying petrol allowed? I thought it was illegal to carry in any form of containers! Enlighten me please.

        Thanks lonely rider...

        Yes, you are correct. Carrying fuel is not allowed, it is illegal.

        We did it because we knew the road ahead doesn't have much police nakas and other stuff, also we kept the bottles inside our bags to avoid trouble. I would advice not to do so.

          Ouch. That's bad. You guys took a lot of risk

          Good that you were not caught. Had you been caught all the fun of the ride would have gone for toss.

          If you are entering Karnataka from Goa there is a police check post and they check thoroughly. They ask us to open our bags also!

                That's why I mentioned, we knew the roads ahead... it was already decided that we will take the other road through villages avoiding the regular road to enjoy the greenery and mountains. We carried fuel while returning from Goa to Pune only, i.e. the last run of our roadtrip.

                BTW, we came across many nakas before Goa, but no one bothered to stop us.

                Yes, correct. The ghat roads are in bad shape. Too many heavy vehicles on the way as well.
                Thanks.

                Yes, you got it right buddy , but more than that I wanted a mounted cam from a long time, and luckily it came up at the right time.
                Thanks.

                  Hi sumit, Nice log bro and its good to see guys from xbhp touring down south... The road from tirunelveli to kanyakumari will be one hell to ride during june-august with too much winds that can blow you off the road,glad that you made the trip after that.
                  If i am not mistaken i saw you guys while you were riding to kanyakumari via Tirunelveli.Any of you guys had a pillion with a large backpack in a pulsar?

                        I am glad you mentioned this here... while riding even we experienced the force of the wind flowing across the road. We felt like we are being pushed to the other side.

                                Well done guys! Sometimes the best and most memorable trips are the ones which are made impromptu. The post has lovely pictures and flowing narration. Kudos to you all.
