Bike Ride to Silvassa !

Hey rony lets plan for january ride to bordi

I am planning a day trip to Dudhani, Silvassa (~180km one way) on 15th Jan, 2011

http://wikimapia.org/265469/DUDHANI

There was a nice thread in the tourer section describing the beauty of this place. Sadly the search option is returning no results now and I am not able to find that thread

To those who want to know the place in brief :-

"The Vanganga Lake and Island Garden : It is a beautiful lake garden situated at a distance of 5 km from the capital city of Silvassa. The rustic wooden bridges, the flowers, jogging paths, thatched huts, and paddleboats-all constitute an ideal ambiance for the honeymooners and for picnicers. It is a lovely lake garden, where audio video recording more than 25 Hindi feature films have been pictured.

Vanvihar Tourist Complex : Khanvel (Khanvel is a 20 km drive from Silvassa), and surrounded by lush green hills, with the beautiful Sakartod river flowing through. The drive to Khanvel is lined with tall trees on both sides of the road. This serene landscape is surrounded by lush green hills. Rolling Meadows, terraced gardens, rustic cottages is your chance to have a close encounter with Nature. The cottages in this complex are designed in the native style. The complex also has a Deer Park, and a green house.

Dudhani : Another 20 km drive from Khanvel, is Dudhani where the large waterfront of river Damanganga, provides a breathtaking view of the water-spread of Madhuban Dam. Adventurers can kayak, canoe and speed boat. For trekking enthusiasts one can pitch tents near the bank and get a dose of real camp life. Nature trails have been specially laid out to take them, right into the heart of the forest."

@ rony, make sure you enter silvassa from gujrat. Coz there is one right before mah-guj border which takes you directly at silvassa without entering gujrat. that route is not good for outsiders, as it is rural area people use to throw stones on vehicles & loot them. That route has a history. & if you are planning for a day ride, make sure you are atleast on NH 8 before dark & if you are planning for a stay then make sure it is in city or a crowded area.

Conflict? What conflict?
Yes I remeber some riders left in between that was not because one of my volunteer was without
helmet it was because few riders wanted to go for a long ride.
Few had problem that why Roadshakers were leading. They were leading cus they
Knew how to ride in formation. By the way someone from our group was constantly riding off track I.e he
Was not riding in formation. Will upload that guys pic so all confilct will be sorted out.
Its time to get united and not to stick on one reason, yes we might have made some mistakes
Pls suggest us so that we can make this year better. Remember no one is perfect.
Its easy to say but last year I dint have a single person to volunteer for the ride.

[Saerius]
