      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 ..



      ride on..



      small fogs








      smooth turns



      chalate raho


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

      toward horsley hills



      yep , it was unbelievable weather very near to HOT & HUMID vellore



      monkeys



      corners



      nope, not a birds eye view



      zero traffic corners



      keep riding





      other side of hill



      here is sun



      the map on the way








      nothing to say



      ride goes on



      road side view





      aother



      look at the mirror, sid clicking



      climb on



      super nice weather,road , senic beauty combination






      deer spotted here , but couldn't click



      weather becoming more nice





      roads they never let me sleep








      it was more than enough to retrive my darjeeling,kalimpong , north bengal memories of school life ..



      thats mee




      Reched the resort there an ordered for Tea

      it was too costly for us


      will come back with other pics ..

        [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 ........................................
