The story dint end Yet .. Day 2 and Day 3 are remaining .. and even 2 more videos are yet to be uploaded

Plz stay tuned

Day 2

Retired to bed by 8PM

Day 2 ............

Woke up at around 6:00AM and went to reception to inquire regarding hot water , they asked me to wait till 7.00AM and i felt Y waste time waiting for hot water went to my bike and took it out from parking lot and lubed its chain and asked him about the road conditions till Koraput and started riding. My initial plan was to ride till Paduwa but the guys at reception asked me not to travel solo in that route and told me to be aware of robbers. Then i had to drop my plan to ride till Paduwa then decided why not ride atleast till Koraput

Started from the hotel at around 6:45AM after checking out and allowing my CBR engine to warm up for good 10minutes. I could see the fog still which was covering the mountains and after crossing Araku valley stopped at a location to take the below snap.




Roads were in pretty good shape and smooth and i was enjoying cruising at 40Kmph in such a climate with such mesmerising landscapes around me.

And my mind went blank all of a sudden on seeing this location ( Below Picture )




Yup..... See how beautiful it is and i was riding in such a lovely place ( Below Picture )



After spending some nice time at this location started riding and finally reached Koraput .



Felt like going ahead , but i had a plan of reaching Vizag by Afternoon so had to turn back

I have no words to explain about the beauty of the landscapes in Odisha, Let the pictures do the talking.............







Was riding through the below location at night on day 1 ( Paderu - Araku ) , in the morning i got a chance to watch the beauty which i missed at night ( below pics )







Day 2 to be continued with more pictures

Re: Day 2

I knew even before opening this thread that a Sandeep Patnala log would give a great amount of treat to my eyes

Re: Day 2

Thanks a ton bro .... Your words turned up my mood, Uploading remaining pics right away

Day 2 & Day 3

After riding till Koraput , then decided to turn back and ride to Vizag ( Visakapatnam ). On the way back while crossing Araku Valley came across this lovely location ( below pictures )



The below scenic beauty was like just Wowww, it made me think of some oil painting.



Just before entering ghat section , the roads were being shaded with the trees surrounded






The entire ghat section roads were very very well maintained and at few locations i noticed fresh tarmac and the curves were too lovely and i was loving taking those corners in that chilling weather.



The forest trees were so dense that sun light was taking a hard time to pass through them




Its not a dead-end , there is a curve at the end of the road


I really had a great time taking those corners revving my CBR engine, and i felt that i took a good decision by starting early morning because i hardly saw oncoming traffic and i suggest the same thing to anyone who's riding to this location. If they are interested to play around corners they have to start early morning.



After crossing Araku entered into Pendurti and the road from here on was a straight stretch till Vizag and even here the roads were too good



stopped at a location to make some phone calls. Till this location from Araku no other network was working except BSNL & Airtel and once on entering into Odisha even they were not working



I noticed this on seeing the rear tire .



On reaching Vizag was relying on my Nokia GPS to reach Railway guest house as my dad had booked a suit for me there for my night stay. And on reaching guest house dumped my luggage in the room and after refreshing made a call to Eashwara Prasad ( HVKian ) and he asked me to come down to his Hotel for lunch and after having a nice chat with him while having lunch took directions from him to reach Kailasagiri and Rushikonda Beach then Thanked him for inviting me over to his hotel and serving me with some delicious food.



For reaching Kailasagiri there is a small ghat road and they are charging Rs10/- for taking that ghat road and on reaching the top the view was like this ( picture below )




Then after spending some time there , started riding towards Rishikonda beach and beach road which leads to Rishikonda beach was too good ( picture below )



Some snaps from the beach ( Below )



( Long Exposure experiments )



While doing experiments with long exposure captures all of a sudden a strong tide came and wetted my tank bag and i was lucky that it dint float away with the tide



On reaching back to the guest house got a call from Eashwara Prasad ( HVKian ) and he asked me to come down to his hotel for dinner , after having dinner came back to guest house and locked up my CBR and retired to bed.



Day 3

Vizag to Vijayawada

Woke up at around 5:00AM got ready by 5:30AM and gave a nice warm-up to my bike after lubing the chain and started riding towards Vijayawada

( Guest House was exactly opposite to Visakapatnam Railway Station )



On crossing Anakapalli saw this wrecked car and i asked the locals if anyone survived the crash and the locals told me that the dead body is lying on the divider , and i was shocked to see the dead body and this accident happened last night and still the no body came to recover the body nor the NHAI authorities bothered to take it away





After travelling some distance i realized that i haven't taken a snap of mine at all in the whole trip then took the tripod out and started a photo shoot



Infact the reason for not shooting my pic in the whole trip is, Am a bit lazy . I have to remove the tripod from the bad which i tied using spider bungees , so never thought its that much required to take a self snap




Took a refreshment stop near to Rajahmundry



Then decided to take next refreshment break after crossing Eluru ( which is around 140Kms from Rajahmundry ). To my luck that day a bundh was going on in AP and the roads were almost deserted and i took that chance and was cruising at 135Km/h

Before reaching Eluru found this lovely location and took a snap ( Below picture )



This is how the trip ended.
