Thanks for the appreciation DevliPulsarian and Abhishek2433!

That pic is one of my fav too, its my current wallpaper!

check out this kudremukh photo, this is how it will be just after monsoon. this was my desktop wallpaper for sometime too. This photo was taken by someone else I forgot the name of the person

Can't see the pics now.Saw it last night though....and it was WOW!!!!

The Maps that I use......

Nice write up.....

My favorite line from this blog "Daylight had already started to break and people in the villages were starting their disco dance by crossing the highway unexpectedly."

This reminds me lot of memories where we had a crash earlier during one of the rides

weird.. i just clicked edit and saved, it worked!

BTW, let me in advance on your next ride i will surely join and for MAPS, this is the now the internet age. use this instead:
www.mgmaps.com

I download the maps onto phone and use it offline along with a bluetooth GPS. No need for GPRS. Amazing app too

@Praful: Dude Congrats once again on successfully completing K-Top and going through Kudremukh!

I just read through this thread and must say that you've done a great job with the write up and pics! way to go man!

Kudremukh was awesome wasnt it!? hehe.. The place is wayy to much fun! Its a great weekend destination. Been riding there almost every 2 weeks now! 110 kms to kudremukh aint very far and makes it an ideal spot for bikers. Kalasa being an additional 20 kilometers of race track fun!

I will post a thread and some pictures exclusively on Kudremukh soon but i must say u have clicked pictures in our usual spot

The route to Kalasa from Karkala is nothing less than a track. Almost 50-60 kilometers of pure fun!

K-Top.. i guess i'm gonna have my share of the fun soon! Hoping to make it to and from K-Top in one piece but more on that later!

I'm glad u had a safe trip! too bad i coudlnt meet u as i was in bangalore after my kudremukh ride on friday. But happy to know u had an awesome ride in our coastal areas! Come to Mlore next time and lets do an over night Kudremukh trip! There's a LOT to be explored in that area especially a trail leading to the 'Kudre-Mukh' / Horse-Face mountain.

The National reserve is an amazing place. Btw bikes get One hour to pass from entry to exit. And the place is picturesque all over. The beauty of the place is almost impossible to describe. Btw how was the weather when u passed through it? It was humid and warm during my march 28th ride to Kalasa.

I'll update soon with a thread so u can see some more pics about the ride and a trip log hopefully as well

Nice RR Praful. How did the path ahead of the trek route gate to kodachadri look like? bikable?
Guess this is your pre mansoon recce

Thanks man!

I'm a gareeb aadmi maan, my ambani phone is not capable enough!

Don't worry dude, like I always say there's always a ride waiting to happen!

The path visible to me beyond the gate was definitely bikeable, but I don't think we would be able to go all the way up as it would definitely narrow down later. But I'm game to explore the possibilities of that route once you're back!
Yup, pre pre monsoon first time run to K-top!

fantastic praful... day three pics are really fantastic and you also rode thru a beautiful terrain...

so when is the next Big Plan!!!

The 3rd day shots are mind blowing.I loved almost all the pics have quoted some of them which are too hard to resist..Absolutely wonderful!!


Now Kudremukh region is one place which is on my places to explore-wishlist...Wonder when would that day come!!

Thanks Archi!

There's always some plan waiting to happen, it just happens...can't say when!

Thanks dude!

Come back to Bengaluru....I'm game for Kudremukh anytime!

I wish I could do lil editing to the pics, this is the first time that I've just put the pics straight from Cam to internet...no retouching of any sort!
