15 days ... 5000 kms .... 1 Pulsar 200 NS ... 1 soul
Ever since i had flown to Bangalore and seen the natural beauty around the place i always wanted to experience it in person. Thus, began the planning of this crazy trip. I asked a few friends of mine if they would like to join in however they all gave me looks as if I was mad or something upon hearing that the trip was 5K kms long. I then decided to this alone if no one was willing to join in. Since I knew this was going to be a super hectic trip with over 5000 kms to clock I took my own sweet time in stocking up the supplies and building my stamina up for the ride.
After a lot of deliberation, countless visits to Google Earth and Google Maps and most importantly, after tons of advice from xBHPians I ended up on the following, which is the route that i took :
August 11th : Gurgaon to Udaipur via Kishangarh / Bhilwara / Chittorgarh
August 12th : Udaipur to Daman
August 13th : Daman to Pune
August 14th : Pune to Bangalore
August 14th - August 19th : Rest days plus days for getting bike services etc
August 19th : Bangalore to Karwar
August 20th : Karwar to Goa
August 21st : Goa to Pune
August 22nd : Pune to Vadodra
August 23rd : Vadodra to Udaipur
August 24th : Udaipur to Gurgaon
There were some last minute changes to the plan due to some unforeseen health variations and traffic conditions. I generally used to start riding early morning like around 0600 - 0630 hrs and then used to ride on until about 2100 hrs max if the need be (as it turned out to be the case along a few segments)
Following is the vitals :
Total kms travelled : 5186 kms
Total fuel consumed : 148 liters
Mileage : 36 kmpl
Avg Speed throughout the trip (actual) : Who cares
I am in the process of writing up a detailed travelogue however is taking up a bit of time since have been super jolted back to reality once I have returned to work. I am attaching a few pics from the trip. Once I wrap up the travelogue I will have the online link for the same posted on here for you all to view and provide me some advice as to what did I do good / what not so that I can improve upon my next trip.
Some pictures have been attached below...
Lovely weather lovely roads
I just wish I could catch some clouds and bring them home
The NS goes to Jog
Lost in the woods
Like I mentioned I am in the process of writing up a travelogue so please bear with me.
I would like to thank all you guys for the advice which was given regarding road conditions and other planning tidbits. I really appreciate it.
