    In india motorcycle traveling is not about speed or movement ,its all about steelness.
    its about the moment like when "strange place feels like home.. " .. Gaurav Jani

    When we started understanding these words, I think thats the first realisation of being traveler ..


    September 1, 2012


    1 holiday , planned to stay in room, but how??
    Not possible for a biker ..


    Searched in google map, found lots of unknown small roads, unknown places ..
    So destination unexplored ...


    Want to know how we spend that day ??



    xploring new places



    unknown zoo



    unknown roads only with the help of GPS



    sometime off-road only



    stuck while crossing a riverbed ..



    Lunch on unknown small bridge ..


    A day in unknown wild world ..


    Njoy the teaser , travelogue coming soon...

      Thank you sir .
      Here it comes .


      The last night I noted down some destination points , and I got an awesome opportunity to test the mobile GPS, but definitly charging was the problem, and that time my bike was not having a mobile charger ..


      So in the morning me & sujoy da left hostel and headed toward Vellore, and had our breakfast over there ..


      Then we started our journey to our 1st destination :Singiri forest ..

      Thats how I rode ..



      on the roads again ..


      Here you can find me with cruiser helmet and no jacket and even no gloves ..
      Its the exceptional case for me , only in this trip I didn't use those as it was very short and interior trip.
      But Bikers Please don't do this ..



      Thats the maza of an unknown trip, stop anywhere ,
      Actually I followed a small offroad track which i followed and railway track was the result ..



      And we reached the Singiri hills.



      my stead resting ..



      singiri hills


      Then we started towards Amirthi forest just after a small trek on singiri hills .



      toward Amirthi forest



      one more



      never ending roads


      After reaching Amirthi , we found a small zoo there and here is

      the Crocodile ..











      Deers








      Though we found some other animals there, we didn't click much ..
      We started towards Senbadhathoppu dam



      roads through woods



      and here our gps google maps showed us a nonexisting road



      slightly better road



      Interior vellore






      unknown places , unknown roads



      now its no road condition ..



      in between nowhere ..





      Never ending roads ..



      The platina125



      checking the route



      road- will not let u stop






      Dead river



      Hmm , bad road



      found it





      Senbadhathoppu dam



      nice place









      posing



      thats me






      fishing



      fish






      Journey toward Unknown



      now it was totally non road ride



      and a stuck , as I was riding with pillion.



      crossed it





      And we found a bridge , a prfect place for our lunch





      lunch








      the best lunch at that place



      and we started one more time






      ride goes on











      Athimoor forest



      towars Jawadhu hills






      jawadhu hills



      break



      jawadhu hills,






      my fav clicks








      dead-end



      photo breaks











      Roads , not let me sleep







      After that evening came in its own way and we had to take route towards vellore, as in this unknown place more over it started raining ,where in the last 80kms I could not see any human being , I was ready to be there at night..


      As some of the places were left so we set another journey , will be post that in next part..


      This ride was 397kms total , definitly we enjoyed ..


      Wait for next part ..

          Actually I tried to make this trip just next week of part 1 only, but my university gave me too much pressure and I had to drop the plan.
          After that some days past, I made some other long trip (can't remember which one) , but was trying to get a chance to do this one more time in other way round .


          Got the chance 13th october Sujoy (my friend) throwed his birthday party and lost his room key :P
          So he stayed in my room for that night.


          AT night watching movie :
          Suj: lets go for a trip
          me: why not? but where?
          suj: u search for that na, some half day or 1 day trip
          me: got it, go for Jawadhu hills ..


          Monring 5am left hostel towards jawadhu hills, but this time started via kavalur observatory (Asia's largest telescope)..


          But the weather was too awesome , foggy roads allover , it was a different vellore..
          It took some time to believe that "Dude, r we in vellore ??? ??? ???" yep..


          Now photos will speak more than me ..








          Foggy mist covered road, here only the idea of making DRL stuck in my mind..










          After some time fogs starts disappearing and sun was showing us "Jalwa" ..



          straight SH.



          some roadside clicks



          some more






          while on some small break






















          reached our 1st destination Kavalur Observatory, but no clicks for security reasons,
          started riding towards Biman falls


          reached



          on the way, bikes not allowed..



          way to biman falls..



          Biman falls



          some more






          dead end



          small trail towards lower biman falls



          coming back



          oho 1 more



          small stairs coming from other side



          pura view






          water was not clear



          from view point 1





          View point 2






          sujoy


          After that we tried some other dams which were visible on the map, but bad luck there was not even a single drop of water


          Then we started our journey to vellore but via Jawadu hills , we didn't stop much for photos as last trip only we clicked and scorching sun was becoming unbearable ..









          Our last stop on jawadhu hills,
          After that I rode constantly for 160kms (appx) and reached our hostel..


          My roads of journey still continues ...

              Nice pics and short logs. Seems you like to explore new places. I am just looking myself in you; I used to explore like that (even now).

              BTW, very nice title 'Explore the Unexplored'
