Got a glimpse in the other Dudhsagar thread by seahorses & group and was wondering if there's travelogue on the same. Good that you started. Don't stop now and keep the flow!

Re: Monsoon off road biking to dudhsagar falls

Re: Monsoon off road biking to dudhsagar falls

Day 1: Bangalore-Shimoga-Ripponpet-sharavathy national park-mookambika national park - batkal-murudeshwar

We stopped for filling petrol after nelmangla and had a nice tea early in the morning

here is our first stop


after the break we started cruising around 80-90's towards tumkur
stopped at tumkur for break fast around 6:30 am, had nice thatte idly at pavitra tiffin centre
we were shocked to see people coming by cars and having thatte idly there, it was not a big restaurent, but an ordinary one
later we came to know that it's famous for thatte idly

We took a deviation to left towards shimoga from where 4 lanes roads transformed to good 2 laned
cool breeze..good 2 laned road with plenty of trees aside..cruising in 80's with light music..minimal traffic that's really fantastic experience to ride
Took a short break for clicking some pictures






After the photo session , we started slowly as this time its time for some video
Satya has been trying some different angles while riding but finally succeeded
the roads were smooth with some curves

And now, its time for rain
stopped aside and now Raingear ON :P

Phani and chaitanya doesn't have rain coats and enjoyed rain to its best while riding :P
we finally reached shimoga in the afternoon, from here the bad stretch starts
road is full of potholes and are filled with rain water, the road was in horrible condition
narendra slowed down as his bike's suspension is not that comfortable in these kind of roads.
again stopped for a small break, here phani sqeezed his jacket.. one can collect atleast 1 litre of water from it :P
and took some snaps



At last satya got the perfect shot


Bull Vs Naked

Its already 2 PM , all were hungry and wanted to have lunch badly
finally at Ripponpet we had our lunch in a small hotel, food was very good and also cheap.
Mean while phani and chaitanya went for shopping rain coats and they bought 2 for 600rs.

Sri satya enjoying rain after having HEAVY lunch :P

We called and asish informed him to reach gokarna by evening.
We then resumed our ride towards mookambika national park
there was hardly any on coming traffic, roads were empty
after ripponpet the roads became better
and here are some pics





Roads were in ok-ok condition and we all increased speed by a little as we have to reach gokarna
and now we entered sharavathy national park .
It was very scenic, moreover it looks like a garden and a road laid in it.






Trying panaroma on our mobiles





It became dark, now narendra takes the lead as P200ns has good lighting
we were just following him as nothing was visible.
In the middle we stopped and switched off the lights and engines too
it was pitch dark with all sort of sounds coming from jungle, i got scared and am the first to on the light again
Finally at 9 PM we reached batkal and called asish
he says that he has reached gokarna and has been waiting for more than 2hrs.
Gokarna is still some 50+kms, all of us got tired and told him that we will join him the next day
We got the room in RNS highway which is few kms away
Had our dinner and crashed the bed

Re: Monsoon off road biking to dudhsagar falls

Re: Monsoon off road biking to dudhsagar falls

We were riding through out the day
So thats not a big problem for us

Day 2 :Murudeshwara - karwar - madgoa
We woke up at 8 AM, got ready and visited the temple ny 9AM , spent over an hour and bought new raincoats as the old ones are torn




Started around 10 30 to gokarna ,had brunch en - route gokarna at kamat,
here we had "Butte idly" which is totally different from thatte idly
had good break fast and tea and resumed our ride , by the time we reach gokarna asish was waiting on the highway
had a quick chat about yesterdays ride and started towards karwar
Clicked some pics

Boat ride on concrete floor :P





Our initial plan was to visit dudhsagar on the way and reach dandeli by night
we all dont know that it is an off road track to falls, so we planned accordingly.











Reached karwar..entered into GOA..filled petrol for 50RS per litre and started riding
enquired locals towards dudhsagar, but no body is perfect in that route
wasted good 1hr of time finally fixed one route and resumed our ride
Here comes the trouble satya's front tyre got puncture. tyres were not tube less
we were just having the airpump
me and narendra started searching for a puncture shop as it was sunday there are hardly any shops,
found one and called satya , some how managed with filling the air and came to the shop
wasted 2 hrs and here comes the idea for sri satya..visit dudhsagarfalls and stay in goa
All accepted for the decision and started riding to dudhsagar falls enquired locals again .. most of them said that we cant make it today as it 5PM
madgoa is another 15-20kms from here ..stayed at colva resorts for the day (a beach side resort) which was decent enough for decent fare







Had good evening in the beach and
partied at resort and crashed into bed
