Re: Ride to kalahasthi from bangalore via the less travelled route

Riders:
Ramprasad(me) - Honda unicorn

Narendra - suzuki gs150r
Day1:
The route plan

Bangalore - madanapalle - rayachoti - rajampet - chitvel - rapur - venkatagiri - tirupati.



Me and chaitanya met narendra at kr puram ITI gate as narendra has directly come from his night shift
Started our ride at 8:00 AM and continued towards hoskote and madanapalle, had nice breakfast at madanapalle.
the roads from hoskote to madanapalli is in superb condition except a 5-10km bad stretch at the starting.
After having break fast resumed our ride towards rayachoti, in the middle of the way at gurram konda we found a fort wall and stopped,went inside to have a look.
It is rangini mahal looks as a 2 staired building in this view


Looks like only one stair in this view


There is a fort uphill, where we need to trek atleast for 1hr30min as said by locals, so skipped the trekking part and continued
This fort belongs to tippu's father in law as said by locals.




This is the place where food is cooked for tippu




Started our ride to rayachoti, from here till rajampet there will be a ghat section which we never expected that to be too good
but riding in this ghat is surely a fun, me and narendra went 4 times in a month covering this ghat













took a small break after the ghat section came to an end.



From here we started riding towards chitvel - rapur
chitvel - rapur is another ghat section with good roads where even apsrtc buses will do some good speeds







After the ghat section was finished and almost 5kms to venkatagiri caitanya's bike tyre has got punctured
We then noticed that the air pump which is with us stopped working
as there were no puncture shops around, we removed the tyre and took to near by village and filled with air
fixed it quickly and went to venkatagiri and fixed it there.




by the time we reached venkatagiri it was almost 7:30 PM, after getting the puncture fixed we thought of staying in vekatagiri looked for hotels
but couldnt find a decent one and we are not sure of accomodation in kalahasti as it is weekend, so we have ridden to tirupati.

Fixing the tyre back after filling air



Venkatagiri palace
It is said that the palace is being demolished in the coming days as they sold their palace and settled in chennai (as per the locals )


Went to tirupathi,took a room at hotel athidi and had dinner at hotel mayura and crashed to bed.

Kms covered : 420
