    [Photo Feature]: 769kms solo ride to ancient India

    We were previously planning to ride to Trimbakeshwar, as it was intro groups ride for me to Cosgeo, Spidey and other members. But as we all know http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/xbhp-off...ay-1st-11.html Spidey met an accident and his babe is not in a position to ride, the trip was cancelled. Especially I was very much disappointed to miss the opportunity to meet the group. We came to know the matter on Thursday 23rd April, 2009. I was going to miss the Mount Abu ride as at that time may be I would be in Delhi for official purpose, so planning to refresh myself before going to throw myself in large work pressure and finally decided to ride to Aurangabad, planned for the caves. A solo ride to half of the caves of ancient India, half --- I rode only to Ellora caves not the Ajanta one.

      Thanks Arayn brother for quick approval..









      Taking rest somewhere in NH222





























      with these pics it ends up with Malshej ghat... after that i have moved towards Aurangabad.





      On the way to Ellora caves there is fort called Dualatabad Fort. I stopped there for half an hour to roam around. The scorching heat was making me to have interest again and again in sugarcane juice, so I have some glasses of it again. Taken some snapshots of canons and fort and started towards Ellora.

      Daulatabad fort..















      right now am very much tired and hungry... will try to post some more pics and logs after having dinner.. or later sometime ...

          Daulatabad fort continued.....



































































          This ends up with the Daulatabad fort...
          Ellora caves is around 15 kms from Daulatabad fort, on reaching Ellora caves, decided to take some food as I was really hungry. There are lots of dhabas, all are good I think, at least from outside view it is ok. After having food there I entered Ellora caves around 1:00PM. There is a ticket, Rs.5 for Daulatabad fort and Rs. 10 for Ellora caves. Really on entering the caves I was astonished about the sculptures. My father has very much interest (he is an artist) in Dokra Art of Madhya Pradesh and I have seen lots of art books in my home. From that time I was seeing those sculptures in books only, but now I am in front of those. Taken some snaps, and being a solo rider/traveler every time I missed to take my own photographs. So this time I asked a boy to take my photo. He was very much happy to shoot a photo.
























































          On the way coming back home ...



          At around 2:00PM I decided to start for Mumbai. Heading towards Nasik, crossed 359 kms to reach Navi Mumbai at 8:30 PM. On the journey to Aurangabad it was 410 kms and back to Navi Mumbai comes to 359 kms. I was very much tired, just had a call in my home to say as usual everything is fine, packed my food and reached home. After having a bath I was not able to take my food - so much tired was I. Finally took my food, covered my bull with the cover and gone for a deep sleep.

                This is a proper study in history starting from Medieval India, going back all the way to Ancient. Thanks for this thread. Now I really am decided to go here... and I will.

                          I'll most prolly will be riding to Alibaug or sumwhere this thursday, anyone interested?
