Travelogue Approved

Re: plan , UNplan ,RE plan to Horsley hills on Platina 125

Thank you sir for very quick approval ..

Coming to travelogue........................................ ................................


Its all started 14th october when I was coming back from a auto spare parts shop for searching for an overgearing option for my bike , though I couldn't find ..
All of a sudden ,just after crossing gandhinagar I got a call from Aswath Sidhu bro (biker from Road rockerz), and he asked me stop and come back .
By hearing the grrr sound (removed snorkel was gaining people attraction :P ) he could understand thats my platina only ..
Then only he proposed a plan to visit Kanipakkam (a.p) , distance -45*2=90kms appx and some other his friends were also about join for this visit and I proposed the date of 17th october as that was my holiday (national holiday) and he also agreed ..


Now I asked my friend Sid and he was ready at that moment ..


Fast forward ....16th oct
............................
Aswath cancelled the trip because of their personal reason ..
Here Sid was ready in full form , so we decided to give a visit to Horsley Hills (A.P)..


Searched in google , distance were near 160kms one way, perfect for a morning visit but we knew roads are not going to be good as its all 2lane road so avg speed will be less ..


Planned to leave room at 3am early morning ........


Midnight 2.30am ...
Sid called me and said he was ready, so I left my room and picked him from his hostel , my luggage were packed as always ..
(Yes even for a small ride I carry small luggage, which contains small but needed things.
Like:mouth wash,face wash,first aid kit,hand sanitizer,rain coat , towel,extra set of jeans & shirt,shorts.
So that we don't miss anything on road , or if any case of accident or heavy rain,
learned these in my long riding life )
I got ready in 15 mins , luggage loaded on tank , foot pump tied on saree guard , tool kit always I carry in tool box ..


Left my room at 3.15 am went to Chitoor bus stand petrol bunk , filled petrol and started our journey towards Horsley hill at sharp 3.30am ..


Our followed route was http://goo.gl/maps/rKMY8


Time to photos to tell their stories



Just before leaving my room , gearing up for heavy rain as we expected



My bikes nice headlight was enlighting all the pitch dark road and we were cruising in smooth 60-70kmph speed criss crossing heavy truck traffic of vellore-chittore (a.p),
Crossed TN-AP border , riding smooth non stop we reached palamner and stopped engine for a tea break





Sid in tea stall


after nearly 25-30mins I could start journey again as tea was not ready at that early morning :P
Again riding smooth in pitch dark road through jungle & small hills was just awesome.
Sun started showing up slowly ..

After riding strong smooth we reached the foot hill, and a left turn and climb started

[MENTION=39448]hhsplendor[/MENTION] You have inspired me to take my 125cc on to the slopes as well. Going to Lonavala next week. Brilliant pictures! Longing to get a little time off from the hustle and bustle of the city

Hope your trip was good , Thank you very much sir ..
The rest of the part is here..


Coming back to travelogue
.................................................. ......


After having tea we started exploring the place, as the place was very small so we started walking to different places with the help of the list and map provided by AP tourism ..



just before entering the resort



The gate



walk and shoot



the view point



from there



green only



I don't know why people love to leave the love sign everywhere :P



Sid & me


Then again we started on bike as we didn't wanted to waste much energy



Sid



roaming around



another one



some more


Then we reached the unknown view point , or you can say a suicide point but the view was very very nice..



as sid wanted to take the bike till the edge , but it was a dangerous call



the end



the edge shot , because of water on the stones the chances of slip was too much



the platina125



that how she watches



sid posing



thats how I look



the platina shot



sid again



thats me



view was too awesome



it was my turn to take the bike up on the road



me while climbing..


then we entered into the zoo, yes there is a small zoo also..














the deer









just from a point



more than enough for remembering my darjeeling days



the poser



the fog started covering everything



in 2 mins



another shot





in and around zoo



another animal, very hard to find



the croco sir



nicely maintained






thats the advantages of having pillion rider



temp dropped suddenly , and fog everywhere , visibility decreased to 5ft at a moment



man sarovar lake (as per the board )



the feeling was simply awesome after getting this type of weather after really long time



we just sat there and chatted about our darjeeling,kalimpong , lava-lolegnao trip in our school life


Then we just bid good bye to this place and came into the resort for breakfast as we were too hungry .
Break fast served in buffet system , cost was 100per plate including tea/coffie , now consider only tea was 30rs only :P


Clock was showing 10am nearly I guess as I don't like to record time while touring , but we left the place and started to wards vellore again ..



roads were to enjoyable as it was 100% free, in our total travel time we encountered only 1 vehicle climbing over there , means unmatched cornering fun ..


So me shots while coming down



thats the main road



corners only



green everywhere



road side shot



sun started showing his game



thats sid riding



some more









just before joining the main road



more or less smooth 2lane road , just needed to be carefull



cruise baby cruise



its bikerrs paradise



once more


from there we cruised smoothly and reached Kanipakkam temple as its on the way only ..




my bike parked there ..


Quickly visited the temple and Ganesh and started towards vellore fast , rode fast ,I know the road chittor to vellore is very risky but sun was scortching in his full glory , .
Reached vellore . like all other trips this was also finished but it was refreshing after 2weeks of not riding long enough to heatup the engine properly..


The life on road continues ........................................
