            Prabhu, the pics are so yummy. The sunset pics are outstandingly nice. I want more pics.

            Thanks for sharing. I added this trek in my trip plan that I am going to do soon.

              Superb,outstanding,fantabulous!

              Anyone wishing to join me for a similar trek coming September?

              If in this dry season one gets as many 25love bites then I guess I should be prepared for anything in the range of 50-75.

              @prabhu-More pictures awaited and yup the sunset picture is just too good.

                  Prabhu, do not worry about the leech bites; you have received free "leech therapy".

                  Waiting for the rest of the log.

                      oops! you carried the saddle bag? that would be worse, faced it a few times during the India ride!
                      Should check for some back strips for my tank bag!

                      got only 3 of those, rest were deleted then and there, becoz I was told that while shooting with SLRs one should review the pics and should judge which will come good, else he might delete good pics when the mem card is full..

                      Sure you should do that, but read the logs and rectify the mistakes we did!

                      well I learnt the power of common salt in killing the leaches, pure some conc salt water around your shoes and socks and none will dare to cling to you!

                      Thanks man! actually, I was having an eye on the sun in the rear view mirrors, so that I dont miss the sunset! and at the end of a straight road stopped and waited for some 10 mins.

                              Prabhu, that is a horrifying experience. My spine shivered when I read about the leeches. Happy that the trek ended without any major incident considering the circumstances.

                              One small question, how come leeches entered in to socks?? Better way to pluck the leeches is to apply salt or cigar.

                              Having whisky was a great idea in those circumstances.

                                ya dude applying salt with turmeric is good thing, but we neither had salt nor patience after looking at so many leaches.

                                Dude leave the socks, 2 guys took out a few leaches from there under wear
