The ride
National Geographic Traveler has listed Vagamon on their directory of the '50 most attractive places to visit in India. [Source wikipedia] Cool rite!

To my limited knowledge the only route from Ernakulum was via Erattupetta. But later found out I was wrong and have some other route which are very much scenic.

Finally fixed first route and decided to take a round trip on 29th sep and planned route as Ernakulam-Thodupuzha-Kanjar-Vagamon-Erattupetta-Pala-Ernakulam (205KM)

Preparation

Casual service checkups and water wash. She was more than happen to come with me. Through out the first ride I always felt a missing 6th gear in p200. I think they put that gear in p200NS.

Ride ride ride

Night before the ride proved to be difficult for me. Slept very late and woke up late. Started from home by 7:00 AM. First I went to kaloor stadium to pickup my friend and we drove to vytilla.

Our first stop was a small Teashop (milma booth) at Vytilla just before the bus exit from hub to Thripunithura route. I used to have coffee from this shop since my college days. Whenever I travel through Vytilla I will have a coffee from there. Big glass full of coffee with enough milk and sugar. Guys just try this spot

[Muvattupuzha- Thodupuzha State Highway]

Around 8:30 I crossed thodupuzha town. Stopped for fuel right after town. Last ride gave me a good mileage. (I have never checked mileages before. Used to tell people a random figure of 30-35 for the million-dollar question Kitna detha hai? If it were for mileage why would I buy a p200?) Last ride I filled full tank and after ride and again some local commuting it had a half tank left. So I thought it was enough and only filled for Rs 200. Just for a safety.

liedlied no bikes only jeep.

Waited there for a 5minutes. Engine was bit hot. So I thought lets have a break for 5 mins and will climb again. Further it was dry but with rocks. From there i used JCB track to ride as that part was hard solid. When reached top I got a chance to ride on big rocks and rock paved paths. The top the view was worth for such a tedious ride. The total 10KM stretch felt like a 50 KM ride. Anyway break time for words. Let the pictures be your guide.
