Some pictures from my side -

Re: Xmas outing.

Superb pics bro :thumbsup: That "oh cock moments" video was bit scary since you can run over a cock ( i mean the chicken ). Noting will happen but the villagers might stop you and get money

Re: Xmas outing.

Have to mention your photography is fantastic.

Re: Xmas outing.

Not many options in many popular tourist spots you see. Plus, the more important task at hand was a hygienic restroom than good food.

Day 2 - Sravanbelagola.

With us returning late at night the previous day, we didn't leave early morning as much as we wanted to. In fact we were late by a good 5 hours!

Shank was accompanied by the lovely J as pillion and we hit the roads by 10 AM.
City traffic was fun and irritating at the same time.

Soon we hit the Nelamangala stretch and zoomed off!
I might share the video clips in the evening.

Roads were pretty straight forward. 130 kms of straight roads and then a left into the villages for 12 kms.

The ascend to the top to see the 1000 year old monolith was a good exercise for legs though! Carrying water aplenty highly recommended!

Will let the pics do the talking now!



































































Watched the sun set in peaceful surroundings and then left back to the chaotic city!

Hope you had a good time reading.

Now Shank is requested to put his share as well.

Re: Xmas outing.

Should have went to an average restaurant bro. Big ones are plain rip off. Also street food are just "try your luck" . either you'll be fine or you'll need to stop every 1km , defacto loose motion

Re: Xmas outing.

Yes sir after this ride they definitely would have sung the song, yeh dosti hum nahi todenge from the movie sholay..

Re: Xmas outing.

I don't have pics to share for the first day as I hardly took my camera out. However, for the 2nd day I have a lot of pics (Pillion cam rocks!!).
Anyway will share the four that I clicked along the way on day one -


The place where my Delhi belly was finally happy. It's a unit of Shevaroys resorts and hence the prices are steep. One chicken noodles worth 145 and quantity was so less that I had to do away with 6 potato bondas from nearby chai shop.



The ultra-refreshing and perfectly timed Stop.
Just a while ago [MENTION=47074]Divya[/MENTION]sharan had a narrow escape with monkeys crossing the road and I was trying to forget the truck incident faced just after the Salem ghat section.




Another stop just as the sun went down and we waited for the sky to be completely dark, before we could start our last leg of the trip in night.


Same venue

Re: Xmas outing.

Hence the James bond theme and slow-mo when I was overtaking the bus.

[QUOTE=Divya Sharan;1122345]Day 1 - Yercaud.



I reached the meeting point by 0445 and waited for Shank. He arrived on time.

I got a reputation to live up to with respect to punctuality

Learnt a few camera modes and techniques while taking this shot from Shank, who is into photography by profession.
By profession- Sir, kyu bache ki jaan lete ho (Sorry, can't translate this one). Infact, I was the one doing time-pass with a moto G 5mp cam !!




I remember Uncle looking at ZMR's rear seat and discussing the difficulties with Duke's seat :-)

Mesmerized by the serene air, moreover compounded by his Delhi belly.
Delhi belly- apt description.

Awesome trip, excellent write-up and extraordinary clicks, I could never have done justice to it. Thanks for penning it down.

Re: Xmas outing.

Thanks bhai. Tried a bit but couldn't even reach 10% in epicness of your writing style.

I thought you weren't riding. Rest all in our group had plans. My plans were made a little late.
By the way, it has been really a long time I rode with you all. Hope we ride soon.
