    Hi all ever since i bought a bike i have not put up a ride report or travel log etc etc anywhere, well after i rode to Cochin to Bangalore via Mangalore i realized my stamina so then i decided to do more more long rides all alone but then the relocation bangalore and it lifesityle and job kept me very busy other then few 1 day ride with BB and my other friends untill my next relocation Trivandrum pop up within 7th month in bangalore .. i decided to ride back again like i did before .. so here i share it with you hope you all like it ..

    Well let me take you all through the route and ride ! and my experience on the way ?

    Route :
    DAY 1. Bangalore - Mysore - Gudelpetu - Bandipure - Madumali - Nadukani - Nilambure ( ootty is 50km at this diversion to nilambure ) - Pattambi - Thrissure - Cochin ( 544km )

    DAY 2. Cochin - Fort cochin .. Biennale whole day ? i hope you guys know whats Binneale ? if not .. google up (30km)
    DAY 3. Christmas with cousin (30km)
    DAY 4. Cochin - Allepy -Kayamkulam - Kollam - Trivandrum ( 200km )

    Road condition from Bangalore to Nilambure was really good and Nilambure ghats section had some bad roads but it was ok for me because that was good ride through the ghat Forrest and small villages in between.

    Malapuram to thrissure road was horrible and i had to wait so patently to reach Thrissure cochin highway and then it was a bliss

    next day at Binneale was fab and we need 3 to 4 days to see everything i could just go for one spot and i spend more then half day there checking all art works ..

    i know am not a good writer to entertain you folks well my friend asked me to share it so here am putting it ..

    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.

                          Hi Phanikar ji .. thank you . The last one was also the part of the art work happening at cochin .. well i could not cover everything in photograph as camera ran off from battery ..The tusker was at Madumalai National Park ..

                          I was aware that on this route getting something would be little hard and i usually carry chocolate during rides

                          Thank you Lonely rider .. yeah i was pretty sad that i dint even saw one single elephant and when i saw one i was so excited and wanted to take a snap .. well that excitement was there when i saw the 2nd one too and after the 2nd guy scared me i dint took the other 3 guys whom i meet in between .. but they made my ride worth and happy
