      i just loved your pics. which camera you running on ?

      the greenery is just jaw dropping.

      Solo rides are always fun. you get a lot of time and when the place is as beautiful as this it is truly a @ peace feeling.!

              More Photos......







               Then decided not to stop much, headed towards sholayaar dam. Took the diversion to Dam without entering vaalparai and it started to drizzle.













              As I proceeded the clouds warned me to be ready for heavy rain. After few kms, took some photos wen it started to rain more.

                    Started from there but raining heavy and when I was thinking to stop, within 2 km, found another beautiful place and stopped immediately.

                      Travelled 5 km, got the view of dam.







                      More stops, photos.











                      Reached dam, felt happy because it stopped raining. Begun to take photos.












                      Rode down to the bridge, spent some time by taking photos and videos.

                        Around 3:45PM, started from Sholayaar Dam. Stopped for some photos.







                        Self portrait


                        When taking these photos there was a nice tune to my very closest. I checked around and found the source. Thought he too enjoying the nature.


                        I love this stretch at all seasons.








                         Random Clicks










                        Again it started to rain heavy.



                        Within next few kms the rain reduced to drizzling and to no rain. The mist sprading zone came, this time it was chiller and denser than before. Kavarkal is the best place to enjoy the mist. If we ride in to the estates we can reach places where much denser mists can be experienced, but they are also well known for elephant attacks.







                        When my fingers started to pain, found a tea shop and stopped for a cup of tea. Ordered tea, removed jacket, cloves and njoyed the mist. Took some photos, had tea and resumed riding in mist.

                        Some surprises



                        • The bridge at the Sholayaar dam has springs underneath and acts as shock absorbers.


                        I enjoyed my first solo trip and it turned to be an unforgettable one. Thanks for reading and hope you too enjoyed. Comments welcomed.
