I started this ride with a lot of questions in my mind. How will the roads be ? and How will the place look like ? and few more questions.

Started at around 9:30AM from my home and met Anirudh at 9:45AM and soon we started riding. I happen to notice that fuel stations were being forcefully shutdown by agitators at some locations , So i decided to tank-up my bike as i was afraid that i might run out of fuel while returning back if the fuel stations remain closed. I have to turn back with out tanking up my bike from around 2 stations as they were not accepting card for payment. Luckily at a HP stations they accepted my card for payment and i have tanked up my bike and i was lucky because after i made the payment and about to leave the fuel station agitators entered into the fuel station and demanded the owner to shut it down

Took a first break after covering 30Kms on seeing this beautiful location.



After crossing a placed named Vuyur faced a first road block by agitators who were cooking on the roads blocking the way and few guys surrounded us on seeing our attire and started asking questions where are u from ! what's this bike ! R u doing for any RACE ! all blah blah questions..

Look at those guys how they were peeping into me


Took some random snap near the road block.



After some 15minutes or so, they left a very small gap for bikes to pass by and we were finally out through the road block. Started cruising at 90Kmph on the open roads and decided to stop only after reaching Machilipatnam. When we were about to reach Machilipatnam stopped by a village and was inquiring villagers which road to take from Machilipatnam to reach Perupalem, mean while at the village some Congress politicians were doing a dharna( for United Andhra ) and i dint notice that and even i dint notice them calling me and my friend too, as we dint respond them to their calls a police official came near by to us when we were about to leave and stopped us and started his inquiry regarding where we were from ! and what Why were we dressed like ! this and all stupid questions. On seeing my tank bag he asked me What was i carrying in it ! and i told him there is a camera inside it and he asked me about the bag which i tied it to my rear seat and i told him there is a tripod and foot pump. He asked me open the bag and show it to him, in the mean while he asked me what i do for living and i told him i work in a engineering college as Assistant Professor and he asked me to show the ID card instead of opening the bags and on showing him the ID card he was satisfied with that and he suggested me a new way to reach my destination and i was a fool , which i realized later upon taking the route he suggested . It was a route through a village and even on my Nokia GPS those roads were not shown, i relied on locals and reached the main road somehow and started riding towards Perupalem. Came across around 3 more road blocks on the way by agitators.

When we were near about 40Kms from the destination it started raining like hell and we found a shelter and parked our bikes in there and we were waiting for the rain to slow down,
Mean while took a snap ......


Rain slowed down after about 50Minutes and we decided to roll back onto tarmac as we were running late. As we went ahead for about 200Meters heavy shower started again and i found some small shelter and took my bike in there but dint notice the sand there before taking the bike. It was gummy sand which was toooo thickkkkk.



i had put my rain wear and as the rain slowed down we decided to get back on to tarmac. But my bike got stuck in the sand there ( above pic is the place where my bike got stuck ) i got down off my bike and tried to move it but it was of no use and then asked my friend to hold my bike and i have put some sand under the rear wheel and tried to move it , it moved and then again got stuck , on seeing us both trying hard a local who was passing by stopped and helped me by pushing my bike onto the road and in return the rear wheel has spilled mud on this white shirt. I said sorry for that and thanked him for coming into rescue. And as R15 is light in weight it came out without getting stuck like my bull.

After riding for about another 20Kms saw the sun coming out of the clouds and i was a bit relieved on seeing the sun that it is not going to rain again and spoil my plans. Took few pics at an awesome location.






More pics to come........

Re: Ride through untouched nature of Andhra

Hi Sandeep, You are touring every other weekend (taking excellent pics) and giving the more home-bound bikers like me a complex! How come you manage to do so many trips especially in a state (or 2 states ) where everyone seems to be protesting or shutting down vital services... I guess you are protesting by riding.... he he

Re: Ride through untouched nature of Andhra

ha ha... Yah am protesting by riding ... I love exploring places which no one visited

More Pics are Yet to come.......

Re: Ride through untouched nature of Andhra

Wow Sandeep saar! What lovely pics!!!

Touring every weekend, haan? Bahut paise hain aapke paas!

Untouched ......

After taking that beautiful pic started riding , and from this location the nature started attracting me with its beauty

After riding for few more kms came across this lovely location surrounded with coconut trees all around and with small water body flowing next to it.

Local riders








I was surrounded by Coconut tress from here on till the beach

One more location on moving further ahead



I have taken a wrong route after crossing this location and with the help of locals reached Perupalem Beach finally. I felt as if i was in Kerala or Goa on seeing the view and the beach surrounded by coconut trees.



(Below 2 images were captured on my mobile )






If we ride for around 4Kms to the right side of the beach there ll an island named as Gollapalem Island , so took my bikes till the island but couldn't go into the island as we dint find any boats to hire and more over it was 3:30PM by the time we reached our destination crossing all road blocks and riding through very very narrow unknown roads.

In the below pic u can see trees at the far end this is the island ( Gollapalem Island ). Came to know that we can hire a local fisher man and his boat and reach that island. Planning to do that when i visit this place next time

Dark clouds surrounded the place near to the island and it started raining and i loved watching that beauty and those clouds were moving from right to left and were covering all the areas with rainfall. U can notice that from the pics below



Me giving a poser pic on my bike.





Her comes Anirudh pic on his bike.



Both of us were giving some poses





Anirudh trying to capture some shots of his bike.






Found a crab all alone , when i ran to it for taking a picture it started digging hole in the sand and trying to save itself by burring and hiding


After spending some 2 hours there we started riding back and found a fresh dead jelly fish lying on the shore surrounded by crabs and all the crabs ran away as we approached it.





Came across this magnificent view while riding back home.


Another magnificent view after riding few more Kms ahead from over a bridge.


loved this ride to the core and am planning to ride to this place again with other Xbhp friends soon and this time i ll surely visit that island too
