Topic Approved.

Riaz, thanks for starting a separate thread. Thought of asking you guys to start a new thread, as Sarvajit made his log just for his group.

Waiting for pics and log.

The teaser pic is really good. Wonder how much rain should the area receive to fill the entire rock. Would like to see it in full swing.

@ Riaz :Is this the same as Sarvajit posted..?

Yup! But, both groups made separate visits.

the waterfall is so wide.......when is it gonna flow in its full glory???

I guess it would be more good after august. These falls are very wide that, if it fills completely...then that would be most spectacular sight.


Yes Inder, But these pics cover full waterfalls. More to come from my cam and kiran's cam. Few more pics from my cam. ..

This Picture will give fair Idea how tall the falls are.


This is the Basin below the waterfall

Lovely pics there!
Now there are 3 threads of Kuntala falls.

Here are the total set of pics from my cam

The pics are simply awesome!! The pics of butterflies stand out. The pic of black clouds with rain fall in the middle is simply superb. Thanks for sharing Kiran.

It was decided the earlier day that we would be starting at 5.00am, So I set up my alaram to 4 and got off to sleep. Next scene, I hear some one calling my name, Its my wife waking me up, I was shocked to see time as 4.30am. I hurried up, I had already packed up everthing the previous night, So its just Ready, Jet Set go for me.

I had to pickup my pillion (Tejas), So I called him up and checked his status, Luckily he was already awake and ready, With in 10mins I reached is his palce, I found him waiting near the main road. So once on board, We started towards meet point which is almost 15kms away and time was already 5.15. Finally we arrive at the schedules meeting spot "Runway 9" and was surprised to see more number of riders than the people on confirmed list.

Vishnu on his RTR, Adhish with his gorgeous Eliminator, Sahstry with his Apache 150, Kiran and shashi on their respective red and black ZMA, Prabhakar with his P220, Raghu aka Boo on FZ16 and Satish there so see us off. Since this is quite a long ride (Read 250kms one way) we decided to leavy at 5.00am itself so as we would hav enough time to see the places, But it was already 6.00am. All of us were busy calling Kriss who was supposed to joing the ride, But he did not recived the call. LAter in the day found out from satish that his Alaram ditched him.

So, We are 8 now with 7 bikes. We had prepared our action plan by that time, Decided that first stop would be at Kamareddi which is exactly 100kms from the meetspot on NH7. We would be having our breakfast at AP Tourism restaurant. These chain of restaurants are known to be good. We were ready to leave now, Once nessecary bikes were filled with petrol. The Ride Begins.

Its one of tghe best roads I have seen, NH7 is complete 4 lane till kamareddi, will almost all the things that are required for a good highway and fast moving vehicals. My new Xtreme had just completed its 1500kms and was still under some Run-In. But it had been tough time to catch up with other bikes since I dont wanted to rip my bikes atleast till 2000kms. But things went out control and I had to rip with tejas as my pillion, I was able to steadly catchup with all other bikes. We could easily ride on full throttle for longer durations, Since it was still morning and not much traffic around, we were able to easily maintain more than 100kms speed. Best part was my faulty CBZ Xtreme speedo was showing us crazy figures, Making us fastest of all the bikes in the ride as per speedo, 160kmph being the maximum mark on the speedo dial, my bike crossed 160 and it almost returned to zero in clockwise direction.

So, with an average speed of more than 75kmph, We reached kamareddi by 7.45 at setteled down at AP tourism restaurant called Haritha.

We had our Breakfast here


Baby Bikers , Playing at the Breakfast Stop.


We ordered Idly and Pooris I think, As these were the items only available over there. Once all our tummys are filled with first spell of food, We started back the ride starting at 8.30AM. Once we started our ride back on NH7, Suddenly the beautifull 4-Lane NH 7 coverts itself in to a 2 Lane one, from here we had to ride the old highway which passes through various vllages, So obviously our speeds came down, But my Xtreme is still able to touch 150/160kmph with ease . Me with tejas as my pillion were almost in the lead with rest of the bikers behind us, My phone kep on ringing for a while, So We have to stop at a place and checked that kiran has been calling me, I called him back but he was not taking the call. So we thought of waiting for people to catch us.

Tejas, Taking some Rest after beging pillion for almost 120kms.


I called back kiran after some more time, Only to hear that Shastry had a small accident. ...

Contd....

I seriously missed the action.

You missed the 408 Steps journey too.
Here are few refreshing pictures from Kiran's CAM.

Clicked at Lawn near the waterfalls.




Raghu aka Boo on his FZ16, Excellent shot. Only FZ Tire can handle that tarmac at the curve, It was very scary.



Adhish on his Eliminator, Lovely bike


Tejas, The entertainer. You cant get bored in his company. Vishnu on right and Shastry in middle.

Yo yo man!
