waiting for the trip log & pics,3 rahuls

The trip was planned to be short. We didn't had much time to spend. All in all the trip went on as planned and was uneventful.

Bikes involved were 1 x 220 Dtsi and 1 X 220 DTS-fi. A saddle and a Tank bag, some tools and Tubeless puncture repair kit. Essentials Life support, like Helmets, Jackets, Boots and pants

Day 1

We started our journey at 03:00 hrs. As planned we avoided the overcrowded exit of Bangalore, (thanks to Metro, everything is in a mess). And headed straight towards Shimoga, via Tumkur.

A non-stop high speed run till 5:30am helped us covering about 180Kms. After a couple of piping hot tea, down our throat, we continued towards our first destination, Jog Falls.



By 7, the morning was well set in, and were easily maintaining 100+ on 2 lane highway, thanks to almost nil traffic.



From Wiki:

Jog Falls (Kannada: ಜೋಗ ಜಲಪಾತ), created by the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 meters (829 ft) is the highest plunge waterfall in India[1] Located in Shimoga District of Karnataka state, these segmented falls are a major tourist attraction. It is also called by alternative names of Gerusoppe falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi.

There are many waterfalls in Asia - and also in India - which drop from a higher altitude. But, unlike those falls, Jog Falls is untiered, i.e., it drops directly and does not stream on to rocks. Thus, it can be described as the highest untiered waterfalls in India.





After spending about 30 minutes, we continued towards Gokarna. There's was no halt for Breakfast and Lunch, as the roads were now bad and Ghat Section. Stopping for food meant, loosing precious time.

Thankfully reached Gokarana, by 15:45 hrs. By Now, we were dead tired, and our moral was lying on the floor, somewhere. After all there's were no end to bad stretches of road.

But the very first glimpse, of the Sea, ignited the spirit in us. Ambient temperature was high and humid, but the sea was so inviting, that we couldn't stop and click pictures.
