Hi to all,

I'm Sriram from Chennai, thinking about doing a road trip around AP during the last week of December with another Xbhpian. Most probably might land up in Rajahmundry on Day 1 (basic idea). I might need a broad understanding and a little help from you all.

1. Stay - Info on budget accommodation with some safe parking facility.
2. Sightseeing - The places to be seen in RMDY and on the way to Vizag.
3. SOS - If someone could volunteer providing their contact number, shall take the discussion further.

Though we will be carrying originals (vehicles/DL), will potocopies work too?

Sriram called me around 1 Pm, He and Yuvbiking reached Vijayawada and having lunch, they would start by 2 PM and reach Rajahmundry around 4 or 4:30ish, so we are waiting for their arrival.

[frankpilli]

Sriram and Yuv arrived at Rajahmundry around 5 PM, riding from Chennai, we received them and escorted to the Hotel, chatted with them and then took them to some locations where they planned to take photos of sunrise tomorrow, so they can get up early in the morning and do the photography. we left them as are very tired and need to take rest.

Sriram called me in the morning and said they were back from photo session, got geared up and ready to move, so i went to their hotel along with Satish (xbhp-Rajahmundry) on a car to escort them out of the city. we stopped at a filling station. this filling station is unique because it is being manned by In-mates! yeah u read it right. these men are those who are having good conduct are allowed out of the prison and do their shifts. its located opposite the Central Prison and known for filling up Unadulterated fuel.

After filling up, we saw them off to Vizag. here are some pics:

An escape to Andhra Sabarimalai...

Many unplanned rides turnout more fun than those of planned. This unplanned one made me to write my first log. Please bear with me suggestions are welcomed.

Rides: Yamaha YZF-R15
Riders: Le me and le me's cousin

After moving to my hometown I am riding my best half only from point A to point B, remaining time she rests and I watch her. This is totally different from my regular motorcycling activity when I was in Hyderabad. And hence the ride bug started biting and made me to bunk my classes. I planned a short ride to Annavaram(95KM from my hometown) with my cousin who is more than a best friend. After getting done with all our sight seeing in Annavaram we started our return journey. After coming 14kms from Annavaram towards Rajahmundry a name board "Andhra Sabarimalai" attracted us and kick started the whole unplanned thing. Whole ride was through mountains and villages which seems to lose connectivity between them during monsoons. We came across a different type of cultivation on those mountain ranges. Some villages doesn't have power supply so you can understand how the villages and the people living there will be. From NH5 we rode 40km into deep forests. Greenery everywhere. 0 pollution. A perfect escape from daily routines. As the population is low, roads are in good condition except a few potholes and patches. We came across a couple of 4-wheels on our way to that place. If you're riding with your headlamps on you can see people screaming at you and signalling "Lights babu, Lights..." as if you're using electricity from their houses. But they're good people. Thats it and here are few pictures.
