[Photo Feature]: Ooty - Valparai - Athirapally - Munnar - Meghamalai - My First big ride ! 6 Days - Around 2K Kms
Here i was back in Chennai for a break after a year of studying in oz..I had like 3 months of holidays and after 20 days, started to bore a bit and the itch to ride started growing..So Myself and my friends Kishor and Harish planned in a hurry to ride somewhere beautiful.As we three have done many rides together we felt comfortable for the long ride.So finally after considering expenses and time constraints for my friends ..decided the following route.Special Thanks to "Ananth T.E." for helping me finalise the route.

Day 1: Chennai - Ooty
So on the first day ,the start at 6:30 AM was pretty late caused by late night packing and stuff which we wanted avoid and guess what ...we could not.so it meant sleeping late and getting up late ..thanks to my dear buddies for that..We started from friend's house after a customary pooja by friend's dad..All good and we set off catching NH-45 ..traffic was on the heavier side..We rode as fast as we could and reached salem for our favourite food place..by 130 pm..The sun was burning us !
Salem Food Stop ! Awesome tasty food ! Everyone should try this place !
First View of Ooty
We reached the base of ooty at around 5pm..(took us lot of time)..After that we reached ooty by around 730pm (lots of traffic).The ghat roads were superb to ride on and at one point some road works were going on...It was getting cold and we were shivering a bit inside the jackets !! I had recorded the climb up to ooty but due to wrong video record settings the videos were zoomed to the sky and became useless

Day 2 : In and Around OOty and Reaching Coimbatore
Cool ooty weather
We got up and were greeted with the pleasant weather of ooty.Checked if all the bikes were safe and got ready to explore ooty..We started towards Emarald lake and were greeted with beautiful vistas en route so stopped for some pics and admiring nature time.
Some Ooty roaming video
Stopped by the Emarald lake.It was a pleasant place with beautiful views.After a while we proceeded along the route towards a dam.The roads became very bad and riding through some time ,we were informed that we could not proceed further towards the dam...So disappointed we headed back towards the lake..
After spending a while at the lake we proceeded towards kundah and manjoor...The climate was awesome and slight mist started rolling in...Time for pics
