Interesting ride so far turned crazier than we expected when it started raining heavily!



we then jumped on the bikes & headed on to Madhumalai forest. Ride through the forest was always been exciting for us. We cruised slowly looking out for wildlife around. We were again given strict instructions not to get out of the vehicle until the next check post. We reached Madhumalai national park. It started pouring again & inevitably we got drenched. We jumped on the bikes again & started the ride back to Mysore.



Tracing back the roads we rolled on, we stopped only for tender coconuts on the way back as we were about to reach Mysore for yet another heavy meal. We reached hotel RRR near the majestic Mysore palace. As usual, we had to wait for 20 minutes before we got a place to sit. We treated ourselves with authentic Andra meals.

We then headed towards Mysore palace by walk until one of the guys noticed a horse rickshaw! We jumped on to the 1 horse powered vehicle & roamed around the Mysore palace. I was a freelance guide for the other riders showing them each place, telling their significance & history as well as answering their queries about the city(well, I could answer most of them )

Day two, 16th June 2013, sunday was more relaxing as we headed to blue lagoon, the backwaters of KRS dam built across the river Cauvery which is around 18 km from Mysore. we left early in the morning & the water level there was almost zero. this was a bad thing for the people & a good thing for bikers like us since we got an opportunity to off-road the place was surreal & we spent some time there, took few pics & headed back to Mysore. After a sumptuous breakfast, we headed back to Bangalore.



Overall, it was a short & fun weekend getaway yet we always wanted to ride further & farther!
