    [Photo Feature]: Independence Day Ride ... Update after 2 weeks

    Myself n our friends were going on discussing for a Valparai Trip. My plan was to go on bike .... But my friends were not agreeing... So finally decided to go for a solo ride. So started on 12 Aug, took half day leave from office.. With the saddle bag packed in the morning , started my long journey from Chennai to Valparai.

        So my journey started with the block on GST road... Till Chengalpet the block continue.
        After the toll and Tender coconut water the ride started. Reached Villupuram toll and went to A2B . Had idli n watermelon juice. Started the bike and rain also started. And suddenly the ambulance gng in front of me skidded and overturned. Rushed and found that all were safe. Then till reaching salem it was cats n dogs.

          After having tea from Salem Toll continued the ride to Pollachi. The windmills farm gave a super shots, but was too lazy to stop and take pics. Reached Pollachi around 12:30 am. Took room and that's was for the day

            Next day the complimentary breakfast guy woke me up. And it was 8am. 7 miss calls from my frnd who started from Kerala to join me. Called him back and he said he will reach by 10:30
            So I got ready. He reached and we started to Valparai. On the way saw elephants and nilagiri thar. Reached Valparai around 3 and took room. The rqin welcomed us to the coffee estate of Tamil Nadu. Around 5 we started to Chinna Kallar but was stopped by forest officials as the day was closed. Went to Poonjollai. But the elephants played the spoil sport. Didn't get entry. Even I had to leave my tea as the elephants came up.

              Next day started with 4 teas . Started to Neerar dam. Had to wait at the checkpost till the watcher came in the bus. Took the passes and reached the dam site . Went to Tunnel section and inside the dam. Thanks to Jamal bhai, who explained the history n animal sightings . Again went to the other end of the tunnel and had a nice lemon tea. Took 1 bag of tea and started again to Poonjollai. Again elephants became the villain. No entry.
              Now started our next leg of our journey. Valparai to Athirapally. Started around 2:30 . Was in a rush to reach mallakapara before 4 as the forest official close the checkpost. Was able to reach by 3:30 though had to skip Sholayar dam on the way.

                How are the road conditions from Bangalore to Valparai? Any budget hotel / homestay you can recommend?

                  Bangalore to pollachi very good roads NH, after pollachi you need to take diversion to valparai, butter smooth road with 42 hairpin bends to scrap the silencer if ur willing to .

                  Homestays are many which range for 500-2000 per day.

                        Nice ride there!
                        A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
