    Invitation: Venturing Into Southern Beauty

    Hi Guys

    I am looking for a few travel partner for my south india trip.Details of the trip are below.

    Actually It was a 15 day trip but due to personal commitments it has been re-sized into 7 days.So we wont be able to explore the places deeply but yes the excitement of travelling on bike will be full on.

    Smal Request : do not confirm unless very sure.

    Pre-requisites :
    1) You should have prior experience of touring atleast once.
    2) I am a slow rider and cruise at speeds 60-80 max.
    Those who travel at higher pace,I am not the guy to partner with because its not a single day event.
    3) Its gonna be a budget tour i.e. no expensive restaurant and hotels.
    4) All other ride dicipline of XBHP will be applicable.

    Looking for 1 or 2 partner however,I am flexible for any number.

    DETAILS Still to work on minute details)

        I think someone else corrected it before I could! Anyway, it has been done.

          @tourer_kashif: Do you have any specific reasons to head to Madurai/Rameshwaram/Pondy?

          I see that for the majority of the ride you are on NH4, I am assuming that your agenda is a relaxed getaway ride, why not take the more scenic coastal route via NH17?

          And don't worry if you end up doing solo, riding solo has its own set of advantages/disadvantages....but is not all that bad either....

            Actually I am looking to meet my old clg friends in Chennai and B'lore so selecting Pondi.

            ya I was also looking to do it through NH17 touching Jog falls but then Your recent post og Jog falls disappointed me. Aur time hi nahi hai kerala and tamilnadu dono cover karne ke liye.

            ya did NH17 till Goa last Jan,its a heaven for sure.

            About being solo...I am used to it yaar and do enjy it too ..looking for a change

            Any suggestion of change in route and some places that I can touch in this time frame with basic destinations in mind ?

                  The second one seems tempting

                    @Kashif...
                    Plan 2 is better as banglore twice wud become boring + u get Kerala.

                    the only problem with me is the start day... Sat-Sun gets wasted.

                      @ Kashif: Nice plan there..i would prefer the plan 1 if i would be doing this ride as it is much more exploring than the 2nd one..!!

                        Inder paaji...think about it man..it would be gr8 riding togather

                        The difference between the two is that we get Munnar and Mysore in lieu of Pondicherry.
