    Day 2:-

    Fascinating Valparai!

    I woke up around 6am and waiting for bed coffee but finally I relaized that am not at home.sriram and kaarthick in the meantime started to get ready and myself started to pack my things,Lube the chain and we ready to hit the road around 7.15Am.For few kilometers the roads were bad after that It was a blizz able to hear the nice smooth grunt from my 220 and in no time I was crusing around 110km stopped in few places for photographs and we reached Aliyar dam.





    Aliyar dam


    From there the Ghat road starts for Valparai we were so excited at the same time we are cautious to my knowledge the ghats are not so bad in valaparai infact I will say it's better compare to ooty in terms of safety.Reached the 9th hairpin bend the place was so scenic started taking few shots and spent full 30min.







    My Bad Habit Taking Photographs from the Middle of the road








    And from there we started after few km of riding reached
    20th hairpin bend. we can able to see the tea estate and clouds started to open up a little, found a shelter near the tea shop.Had a nice cup of tea. wow we were stunned to see the beauty over there.. nice climate-scenic place-Hot tea! For a second I thought it was heaven and we spent good 60minutes over there and bought some tea packets for my family.



    Bad Shake No focus only it happens to me






























    Tripod It's on Duty














    We decided to skip the breakfast and have early lunch everyone agreed except my tummy but I controlled him reached the Valparai and finished our luch and enquired about the route for sholyar dam in the meantime kaarthick zmr front tyre started to wobble we checked with the local mechanic and the disk pad was completely worn out so for time being we agreed to install local disk pad and the time was around 3.30am to complete the repair job. Time is our big concern for us the reason behind before 6pm we need to reach athirapally falls otherwise checkpost will be closed thats what we heard from the local people.Reached Sholyar dam around 4.30 nothing special about the dam took few customary snaps and started from there reached the Tn side checkpost they checked the papers note down the vehicle no and we started our journey inside the forest.





    The Gaint..!!
