Day One (9th March 2013)– Bangalore to Kodachadri – 405 kms, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was the time you feel you have to step out and taste the
fresh unpolluted air, After a frantic search for a place to head out in the
weekend a decision was made to visit Kodachadri .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As usual it’s hard to get sleep when you have a bike ride
the next day, inspite of that caught a brief moment of sleep and bidding adieu
to mom left home at 6 am and headed towards Shimoga via Tumkur . It was quite
an uneventful ride till Shimoga and I had decided this trip to be done at a
slow pace. It was around 10.30 that I reached Shimoga and filled up fuel and
checked on further directions to Kodachadri. I had to reach Ayanur which is on
the Shimoga- Sagar road and had to take a deviation upon reaching Ayanur. Enroute
made a brief stop at the Lion and Tiger Safari , hardly anyone visiting the
place inspite of being<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a weekend. The
road till Ayanur was good being a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>National highway, but once I entered SH towards Nagara the next place on
my way, the road were potholed but nothing when compared to what I was to
experience in the evening.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nagara has a beautiful Fort which is now almost in ruins ,
but did spend a while looking at the landscape from the top of the fort which
was quite a pleasant view. Had lunch at sampigekatte which is at just around 20
ms from Kodachadri, the food was in malnad style simple, but delicious and the
people I must admit are quite friendly, a drastic change from the city life. Just
few kms before kodachadri I came across a board which said “ Bubble Pond” the
board was quite interesting and I could say the place was quite captivating and
I did not regret stopping to check out this place and getting refreshed at the pond, the pond was crystal clear
and I could see the plants below clear and green, there were bubbles that would
start whenever a sound was made or the birds started chirping. Reached
Pathalgere guest house at 2.30 in the afternoon this place is quite convenient if you are traveling by your own vehicle instead of trekking and is conveniently located
at the base of Kodachadri and is the starting point from where Jeeps enter the
kodachadri Ghats. The owner of Pathalgere Mr Prabhakar is quite a good host and was happy to accommodate a lonely traveler at any time. He welcomed me with hot
and tasty tea made from fresh milk . No sooner did I dump my luggage and headed
towards the road it started raining, This was quite unexpected since it was scorching hot the whole afternoon, the rains indeed cooled down the blistering
heat . I took this delay to chat up with Prabhakar and he advised me to be
careful on the roads and wanted to know if I would change my plans of riding
and take a jeep instead, to which I humbly declined. I had no intentions of
sitting in a jeep and take a bumpy ride. He knew that I was adamant on traveling alone he adviced me to be careful and to watch the sunset at the
temple and not stay for long at the top as it would get dark and would be
difficult to navigate alone in the dark.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I promised I would and headed towards an adventurous ride on
non-existent roads, the road was riddled with rocks and pebbles and
realized why only 4wd jeeps are preferred, but the ride was quite amazing and I
enjoyed it to the core. Stopped at few places and took few snaps and upon
reaching the temple parked the bike and started trekking, visited the Ganesha
cave temple and then the Shankaracharya mantap <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it took around 20 minutes for me to reach the
top from the temple, the views were magnificient and cannot be described and should be
experienced , The priest at the mantap offered buttermilk and lemon juice and
when he came to know I am alone he also advised not to stay for long and to
reach the temple to view the sunset. I took their advice and then stepped down,
it was almost time for the sunset to start the temple area was soothing to see
and quite clean and maintained well and this whole place had a kind of
calmness<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>from which you do not want to
get away , they have a small shop where you can get coffee and few snacks <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to munch on , apart from this not much is
available, It was around 6.15 the sunset started and each minute was different
in colour and beautiful to watch. It was getting dark fast after the sunset at
6.45 and started my descent towards the guesthouse which is round 9 kms from
the top ,the terrain which was difficult enough to climb in daylight
I had to complete the same<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> downhill </span>in the
darkness, it was at 7.30 that I reached the guest house. There was another
group of visitors who were staying at the guesthouse and had started up a
campfire I chatted up with prabhakar for some more time and had a go at a delicious
dinner before I hit the sack.</div>

Day <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>2 (March 10th 2013)–
Kodachadri-Kollur-murudeshwar-Idagunji-Jog Falls – Bangalore – 595 kms</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Waking up in a countryside puts you in a very pleasant mood
and that was how the second day of this trip started, went for a stroll inside
Mr. Prabhakars farm and spent time at a nearby stream.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time does run fast, it
was already 8 and I returned to my room to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have piping hot coffee served by Mr
Prabhakar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After thanking Mr Prabhakar
for a pleasant stay started towards Kollur the next destination. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was a
ride thru the mookambika forest and the early morning pleasant weather helped
me seeing variety of birds. Tthis road from kodachadri to Kollur was blocked
due to repar works , but riding a two wheeler has its advantage, managed to
navigate thru the construction work and reached kollur around 10 am.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Visited kollur temple and took blessings from the deity, Still
a whole day ahead<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and having ample to
return to Bangalore started pondering on the next destination. I remembered
seeing the place Murudeshwar while entering Kollur and the directions indicated
it was around 65 kms from kollur. Being Shivratri thus the next place was
decided. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Travelling around 25 kms I reached the Mangalore Goa
highway, being near the coastal area the humidty came along with it , riding
for another hour I reached Murudeshwar. The huge temple Gopuram and the shiva
statute surrounded by the Arabian sea on three sides was mesmerizing. Even
thought it was crowded owing to shivrathri I managed to get Darshan within an
hour. Next took the elevator to the 18<sup>th</sup> floor of the
rajagoupram<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which gave me a magnificent
view of the Arabian sea and the Shiva statue. Had lunch at a beach hotel just
next to the temple and made plans for heading home, there were two routes to
reach Bangalore from here, one via mangalore and the other via Shimoga, both
were approximately 500kms, decided against the mangalore route as the ghat
section would be difficult to cover during dark and preferred the plain
straight road via Shimoga.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was around 3 in the afternoon when I left murudeshwara,
hardly had I travelled for a few minutes , saw directions indicating it was 4
kms to Idagunji fampus for the ganesha temple, not sure how often I might
travel here did not want to miss this place and went ahead. Came to know the
temple opens only at 3.30 , had<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>few more
minutes and made it useful by taking a quick siesta in the temple premises. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again had a quick Darshan of Lord Ganesha after the temple
opened and not much to do here headed out to the highway. The plan was to reach
Shimoga around 6 and fuel up here and reach Bangalore around 10 . But did not
realize Jog falls is just enroute , <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>even
though I had been here couple of times during my past visit I did not want to
skip having a view of the falls. Reached Jog around 5, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>though there was not much water at the falls
the place was quite pleasant and I took this opportunity sit for a while and
enjoy the surroundings . It was <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>around 6
and darkness was setting fast and I decided the trip was worthwhile and not to
stop much for anymore visits, as planned crossed Sagara at around 7 and reached
Shimoga at 8 where I fuelled up my bike again and started my journey back to
Bangalore. The drive was bit difficult as I had to ride with my helmet visor
open to avoid the flashing lights from oncoming vehicles. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Had a brief stop to have a delicious dinner and then piping
hot coffee at midnight near arsikere. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I neared Tumkur and had to take a deviation towards
Bangalore Byepass, couple of policeman stopped me to check what I was doing at
this time riding alone. Along came with the normal questions<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- where from , where to, luckily I had all
the documents in place and they had nothing to complain or seek a bribe from me
and had to let go off wishing me to ride safe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ride from here was uneventful and I loved to ride in the
traffic free Bangalore roads and reached home around 2 am.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did not realize when I crashed into my bed and was taken
of to dreamland.<br />

27<sup>th</sup> Oct 2012</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The travel
bug had been lying low for sometime, until my biker friends suggested a trip to
Kolli hills, a route which has 70 hair pin bends.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Unfortunately
we couldn’t work out a group trip to this place .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">But I got a
chance to ride on 27<sup>th</sup> Oct 2012<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>when my wife had to visit her mother’s place<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>most of my friends where busy and couldn’t
join, I did not want to miss this opportunity and decided to ride alone.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">As normal
on any previous trip I couldn’t sleep due to the excitement of riding and this
ride comes along with a much claimed hair pins curves en-route.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Managed to
get a wink at 1 am and woke up at 4.00 and was on the road by 5.30.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The route
till Salem was uneventful and I reached there by 9.30 not before taking a short
break in Krishnagiri where I gave an early morning visit to Anjaneya Temple.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">I have travelled
on this route twice this year and was quite familiar until Salem, from here I
checked out Rasipuram and thereon towards Namakkal. Before reaching Namakkal a
deviation to the left leads on to Kolli hills.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The only
drawback I faced throughout was directions or places mentioned in Tamil, which
I can speak but have no clue how to read the script. GPS helped me in getting
the right directions to Kolli hills which was filled with greenery on either
side of the roads and was quite scenic. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The excitement
was getting over me to experience the much acclaimed 70 hair pin curves and
couldn’t stop myself and accelerated ahead. The twisty’s are quite enjoyable
provided safety is taken care of. Once the climb started I decided not to stop
until I reach the summit, but the views en-route was so breathtaking that I had
to stop myself to digest the beauty of nature.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">At last I
reached the 70<sup>th</sup> hairpin curve , I really felt there were more than
70 that I had covered and there were yet few more kms and curves to cover
before I reach semedu( the main town ), it was around 10.30a.m and the odometer
read 300 kms .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The hair
pin ride now done, I wanted to take the downhill route to enjoy more, but
before that there were few more places here worth visiting. First being the
Akasha Ganga water falls, the falls <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is
around 14 kms further to the left from Semedu.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The village
folk were quite helpful in directing me as my phone GPS failed cause of no
network.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The first
bad news since morning was the falls was closed for public as the security
personnel there had found a dead body and had stopped entry to all visitors to
the falls until the body was fished out. I badly wanted to see the falls and
planned to stay in Semedu and visit the next day. The other attraction of kolli
hills is Arapaleshwara temple which is just opposite to the entrance to Akasha
ganga falls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Visited the
temple and had breakfast in a nearby village. I now planned to return to Semedu
to arrange for a stay , en-route there is a small waterfall known as Masilla,
which I found again courtesy the locals who were quite helpful again in letting
me know about the place and provided directions to reach .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Took a much
needed break under the falls, after a refreshing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bath and whiling away I started towards semedu
and settled in Kolli hills resort. The resort manager Viji was quite friendly
and suggested a few places that can be visited.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Taking his
advice I visited the boat house and the botanical gardens which is just a few kms
from the resort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">Both these
places did not interest me much and the boat house was a small water body with
a couple of small boats to paddle in. The botanical garden was again a small
garden area with few flowering plants here and there, and few displays around a
fountain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The next
place was the view point which is just 1 km from Semedu, this place was quite
beautiful and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the whole valley below can
be seen from the view point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a
peaceful view of the sunset and the valley below I promised to be back for the
sunrise.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;">The evening
spent here watching the sunset and the valley below covered in mist was quite
worth the trip, as it gets dark in the winter and there is not much to do I
headed back to the resort and winded up the for the day.</span></div>

Day 2 Kolli hills:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The excitement of visiting the falls made me wake up early
at 5, it was totally dark and cold when I opened the door and decided to watch
TV for an hour. Since visitors are allowed to visit the falls only after 8 in
the morning I decided to visit the view point I had been yesterday. Being
hardly a km from the resort reached there in no time for a mesmerizing view of
the valley, the villages were waking up in the valley below and specks of smoke
could be seen from above. After spending nearly an hour and saying good bye to
the valley went towards to the waterfall. Reached there in 30 minutes and after
paying a quick visit to the temple, headed towards the gate which was closed
yesterday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Was happy to pay the entrance fee of 10 rs. the guard made me
sign a register and informed to sign back when I return from the falls,
precautions taken to ensure people who go down are accounted for on their
return.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The steps were steep and few people were already climbing
back tired. The gushing noise confirms the falls is near, after a few more
steps a beautiful view is available where you can see the falls making you feel
that the water is actually falling down from the sky. The days wait and the
trek down to the falls was worth the view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I could hardly stand there without getting drenched as the water was
splattering around it was difficult to take pictures without getting your
camera wet, a bit risky one too.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was reluctant on taking a dip in the falls as it was
hardly yesterday that a body was fished out of this place, but was happy in
getting my feet wet from the flowing water. There were lot of bird activity and
found a few varieties here, after satisfying myself to the content of my heart
started my climb up the stairs, the downhill climb which was easy was not the
same while climbing back, with a lot of panting and rest reached the top in
half hour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The climb had made me hungry; thanks to the few eateries
near the temple I had a scrumptious breakfast.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was around 10 and nothing much to do I decided to head
back to my room and check out. On the way I came across a small waterfall which
was quite tempting, since I missed a dip in the earlier falls I did not want to
let go off this opportunity, how many falls do you get when you are in
Bangalore .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did not know the name of this falls and this was almost
kind of secluded and devoid of any human activity , so made<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>myself comfortable and spent a while enjoying
the beautiful and unpolluted nature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was now time to head back, went straight to the room and
doing the necessary checkout prepared myself to enjoy another round of twisty
downhill.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If I had enjoyed the uphill twisty yesterday it was not less
while coming down, added that you get to see the beautiful valley down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once I reached the plains I gazed back to see where I had
come from and promised to return. The return to Bangalore was just a breeze
except to the extended traffic near the toll gates; good I was on a bike and was
able to skip these long queues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reached home around 7 in the evening taking with me lots of
memories of Kolli hills.<br />

Once again it was the time to taste freedom of being solo

Day 1 ( 13<sup>th</sup> July 20120- Bangalore
–Krishnagiri-Thiruvanamalai-Gingee-Pondicherry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The plan was made and as usual due to the excitement was not
able to sleep well, Not being superstitious Friday the 13<sup>th</sup> did not
deter me from taking this solo trip, managed to take a wink at 12 midnight and
got up at 4.00 in the morning, after saying the normal good bye to family
headed towards Hosur road with the machine which was going to be my partner for
the next two days. It was 7.00 by the time I cleared the early morning traffic
and reached Krishnagiri. The pleasant weather suddenly turned into a heavy
downpour and made me realize it was the monsoon, riding when you are completely
wet is bit irritating specially when your shoes are dripping and your feet gets
cold,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>getting completely drenched headed
towards the first pit stop Thiruvanamalai. This was not in my plan, but who
goes as planned while driving solo.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reached Thiruvanamalai at 9.30, being Friday expected a
crowd in the temple but there were hardly a few handful of devotees, strolled
around the temple and visited the place where Shri Ramanamaharishi performed
tapasya , its advised to visit all the other shiv lingas that dot the hill, I
did that on my bike and it was around 14 kms round about.</div>

It was 10.30 and the heat of Tamilnadu had picked up,
getting directions to Pondy, me and bike headed towards NH66, Nearing Gingee(
pronounced syngee) two magnificent forts on either side of the highway welcomed
me, could not resist visiting the forts and headed towards one on the right
which is the Ratnagiri Fort, Initially I thought it would be a short climb up
to the fort, but<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>experienced the heat
which completely drains you out, a hike which I expected to take an hour and a
half almost took 3 hours to complete. I realized I can ride on a bike for a
while day but I am not the kind of person to trek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a short break headed towards Tinidivanam
which will take me to Pondicherry. Took lots of break in between and slept for
a while to refresh, the hike up the fort had drained me out complexly. 5 kms
yet to pondy the rains showered but still had no respite from the heat, the sun
was still burning me up at the same time the rain was cooling me down, strange
are the ways of nature.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was around 5 in the evening when I reached the much
acclaimed Beach Road of Pondy, looked around for a place to rest for the night
and after visiting a few places decided L’Ocean was to be my home for the
night. After a quick freshup and rest went out for a stroll on the beach, though
I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>missed the sunset but got to watch
some <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>beautiful clouds and some failed
attempts to click<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pictures of a
lightning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Returned to L ’Ocean promising
to come back for the sunrise.<br />

Day 2- Pondicherry</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Had planned to see Pondy Sunrise and was expecting a show,
but the clouds played truant and in spite of being at the beach by 5.30 it was
of no use, back at home getting up at 5.30 on a normal day is unthinkable. Even
though, the sun did not show up, the sky had a good blue tint which was a consolation
for missing the sunrise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spending a while at the beach, moved towards the
aurobindo ashram and visited the Samadhi , the place is quite clean and
peaceful, visitors are allowed to visit the ashram only after 8 in the morning,
next I checked out the much acclaimed French architecture and pondy
bylanes<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>post which I <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>checked out directions to paradise beach, this
beach is accessible only by a boat. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The boat house is at a distance of 9 kms
from Pondicherry and I had to keep a look out for a board which says
Chunambaram boat house, else you will miss it. For 100.Rs, they will take you
across the backwaters of pondy to paradise beach and back, this is a pleasant
beach<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with not much crowd, can spend
some peaceful time , After a short stay and ride in the boat back to the
mainland, I decided it’s the right time to visit auroville, where you find the
Golden Globe, auroville is around 15 kms from pondy towards mahabalipuram, from
the state highway you need to take a right and travel around 9 kms, auroville
can be termed as remote but serene and peaceful location. To enter the golden globe
permission must be taken a day earlier. I just managed to walk upto the globe
and enjoy the view from outside.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From Auroville headed towards auro beach, to
reach auro beach you need to trace back your route till the statehighway and
then move a little further on ECR road and take right turn , a few hundred meters
further is the auro beach, expectation of this being a clean beach went for a
toss, walked around the beach and watched the rowdy crowd who were loitering
around maybe locals or tourists , did not bother much and not much interested
in the beach headed back to pondy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was late evening when I returned to Pondy, there was a magnificent
fireworks display by the beach organized by the French consulate, the fireworks
against the rocky beach in the backdrop was a sight worth seeing, next went
through the heart of pondy which was far more crowded then Bangalore, filled up
fuel which is 10 rupees less the price in Bangalore, price of petrol - this was
one of the good things I liked in, by this time I was done for the day and
headed towards the guest house to rest.</div>

Day3- Mahabalipuram</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s surprising how you manage to wake up early while you
are on the bike trip, it was 5 by the time I checked out of L’Ocean , before saying
adieu to Pondy visited the Rock beach for one last time hoping for a catching a
sunrise, but the drizzle and the clouds made sure that I would not get to see a
good sunrise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next place to check out was mahabalipuram which is around
100 kms from Pondy via the East Coast road . The ECR is termed to run along the
beach, but you hardly get to see the beach once you leave Pondy and reach
Mahabalipuram.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ECR is well maintained and riding on this was a breeze, couldn’t
find anything interesting that made me stop expect a place where there was a
salt farm, reached Mahabalipuram at around 8, As you enter Mahablaipuram you
will be welcomed with lots of shops where you find lots of sculptures in
various stages of completions .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the First place to see once you get down from the highway is
the Panch rath or Five chariots, the rains made sure that I was the only
visitor and enjoyed the place sans the crowd, checked out the wonderful architecture
of the chariots , there are few other places that can be visited, the old light
house, Krishna’ Butter ball and few other granite carvings and temples. It was
around afternoon when I started moving towards the Shore temple , by this time <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the rain had stopped and along came the
tourists and the scorching sun.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The shore temple once might have been a good example of
architecture, but has lost its charm due to sea erosion adding to it the
attempts by the archeological dept to protect the temple by covering it with
paper pulp. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just behind the temple the sea was opening its arms and
welcoming me to get and in take a dip, which I could not resist. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was around 2 in the afternoon and not much
to do or other places to see I changed my plans to stay in mahabalipuram and decided
to head back home. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The route plan was
Mahabalipuram-kanchipiuram-Vellore-krishagiri and Bangalore, the road from
mahabalipuram were quite<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bad until
Kanchipuram and Iwas so tired by the time I reached Kanchipuram that I had
decided to park my bike and take a nap under a tree<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span> but pushed myself a further
looking for a tree to sleep under until I reached the Highway which was double
laned, the road made me turn the throttle and I don’t recall slowing down and
the tiredness was gone with the gushing wind,Vellore wizzed past in<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>no time , also saw Yelagiri hills beckoning
from a distance wishing I would come back some other time<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I moved ahead, I did not stop until I reached
Krishagiri, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was 2 hours since I left
Kanchipuram and had covered around 190 kms in 2 hours. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The road towards Bangalore gave way to signs of the trip coming
to an end, stopped by at Shoolagiri to get refreshed at Coffee Day , A cold coffee
surely freshens you up, after filling up petrol at a lower price for a last
time headed towards Hosur and then Home, as usual the traffic on Hosur highway was
best not talked about, apart from <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that
without any events reached home by 9 in the evening and started dreaming of the
next trip.</div>

Kanyakumari is the place where many people found peace and had influenced a lot of people (Details of the place available <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanyakumari">here</a> ), in the morning I headed straight to the beach which is just behind the temple to view the magnificent sunrise, there was a huge crowd who had reached ahead of me , I managed to squeeze in between and anchored myself at a spot, the clouds were playing spoilsport but they made way after sometime allowing me to have a few pics.</div>

After the magnificent sunrise walked towards the temple and here again there was a huge queue to enter the temple, looking at my confused state a person approached me and offered to take me directly to view the shrine bypassing the queue, obviously for a small payment. I accepted the offer, having a good view of the shining diamond nose ring on the idol and seeking blessings, I then Walked out of the temple.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had heard about the boat ferry which would take me to the island known as Vivekananda rock, upon reaching the ticket counter saw a huge queue which was spilling out to the main road, decided against going on the ferry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kanyakumari has a vast beach ,Instead of waiting in a queue to board the ferry I decided to explore the beach, first went towards one end where fish caught fresh from the sea was auctioned, I was surprised at how much the sea can offer without being selfless, having seen the fishy business I then moved on towards few rocks further down the sea far away from the crown, and seated myself for some time to enjoy the view, another person joined this isolate place , we talked for a few minutes and exchanged info, he was travelling the whole of south India from the past few months and had quit a good job back in England to spend time in India.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After a having enjoyed viewing the beautiful waves splashing against the rocks and the marine life underneath, I Next visited Gandhidham, this is the place where Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were placed before immersing them in the ocean, This magnificent building was built in such a way that on Gandhi’s birthday (02nd October) the sunrays fall on the place where the pot of ashes kept, through the hole on the roof.. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coming out of Gandhidham, I again moved to another part of the beach, this was supposed to be the place where all 3 huge water bodies meet, I was happy that I was standing at the southernmost tip of the Indian peninsula, I forgot the whole world for a few minutes while standing at the beach viewing the confluence of the three water-bodies – The Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Took a dip at this confluence but came out with few injuries courtesy a few careless people who had chosen to drink and break those bottles which scraped my naked feet.</div>

And started towards Trivandrum, initially had planned to reach Allepey or Kollam Beach to wind up, but owing to the bad roads, the crazy traffic and the afternoon heat I decided on a much nearer place – Varkala Beach, this was around 145 kms from Kanyakumari.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At 4.30 checked in at Lazy Panzy , headed directly to the beach for a dip and to cool of my sore butt, Varkala has good beach shacks along the cliff with a beautiful view of the sea, they offer different cuisine. I had to now enjoy the view and settled myself at one of the shacks, watching the sunset sitting at the beach sipping iced tea and gorging on food, what else you can ask.</div>

From here I had two options either head home directly via Salem which would be a continuous 700 km ride or enter Bangalore via Bandipur, I chose the next one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After Varkala, headed out towards Allepey Via Kollam, it was around 9.30 in the morning , my friend had asked me to call him once I reached Cheppad, he would then direct me to his house which is just next to the highway I would be travelling. Once I reached Cheppad I called him and to my surprise I was standing just opposite to his house, here I met his parents and after a short break continued my ride towards Allepey, Refueled near Allepey, post which the roads were pretty good, bar few stretches I cruised along 120 easily owing to the double lanes and crossed Kochi and then reached Thrissur at around 3.00 pm. I had already covered 250 kms, from here I thought of entering Bandipur via Gudalar instead of Sulthan Bathery, After Shoranur which is en route to Gudalur I came across traffic blockade at two places due to a procession that was moving on the narrow roads. I used this opportunity to take pics of the elephants and few artists dressed as gods from the Indian Mythology who were accompanying the procession.</div>

I have to admit Kerala heat was taking its toll on me and I decided to ride as much as I can and halt when I get tired, few places on the way tempted me to call it a day, but I pushed along until I reached the Ghat road which marked the entry to Gudalar, it was 7.30 pm, the moon was shining behind the hills, the cool breeze, the twist and turns of the Ghat road made my tiredness vanish in a jiffy. I reached Mudhumali wildlife sanctuary check post at 8.30, Entry to Mudhumalai/Bandipur is closed for traffic from 9.00 pm to 6.00 am, unfortunately the guards at the check post bordering Mudhumalai wildlife sanctuary told me they do not allow bikes after 6 .00 pm citing safety reason as wild elephants would be crossing the roads, This being the only route now to reach Bangalore via Mysore and no other option I traced back around 5 kms and found a place in Gudalar to halt for the night.</div>

Weather in Gudalar was chilly and my laziness was catching up with me, but I was already late and behind my schedule due to the unexpected stoppage at Mudhumalai Forest, Checked out from the hotel at 7 00 am , it was bit dark even at 7 in the morning , the sun was a bit lazy and was behind his time. When I happened to start the bike I came across the first sign of trouble, the Battery was down maybe owing to the cold, but a few minutes of waiting bought back the bike to life, thanking my lucky star I moved on towards Bandipur, the ride through the forest early in the morning cannot be expressed, I compared it with the concrete jungle and traffic back in Bangalore-chaotic.</div>

I saw at least 10-15 peacocks , one was in the middle of the road with its feathers out as a fan, by the time I fished out my camera, he had folded up, but he did console me by posing. I also happened to sight the great Malabar giant squirrel, but by the time I could get a good pic, another vehicle came from the opposite end and the driver told me there are wild elephants just round the corner, I couldn’t risk standing there, I made a move, but there is a pic of the elephant I got hold of. Riding further ahead I reached the Mudhumalai sanctuary Range office, there was a Safari vehicle about to take tourists for a drive thru the sanctuary, I parked my bike next to Range office and grabbing a ticket hopped on to sanctuary vehicle, the 40 minute drive was a disappointment as I couldn’t find any animal or bird, except a few langurs monkeying around.</div>

A few kilometers away from Bandipur and a deviation to the right is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himavad_Gopalaswamy_Betta">Himavad_Gopalaswamy_Betta</a> , I had heard of birds and wildlife being cited here and took a turn, At the crossing a person in uniform whom I came to know is one of the forest guards asked me to drop him till the temple, normally I do not offer lifts to unknown people but owing to the uniform and the Id card he was carrying I contemplated, during the ride he gave me a disappointing news, the forest range officer has completely banned photography ,except at the temple on the hilltop , I was tempted to break the rules, but refrained from doing that as he was quite serious, he did tell me they have been seeing a tiger every evening at 6.00 near the hills and I had to get a permission from the Forest Office to camp there, and this permission is provided only for those who are doing a research on wildlife <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After taking a deviation from the highway towards GS Betta, a few kms ahead is a forest check post ,the forest guards gave me a time stamped ticket and allowed 90 of minutes of time to travel 5 kms to reach the temple, visit and be back, since photography was not allowed I completed the visit and ride in 30 minutes.</div>

Disappointed again at the events happening I moved ahead towards Bangalore Via Mysore, Few kms ahead is Nanjangud, the temple here famous for Shiva and today being Monday an auspicious day to visit Shiva temple, I turned my ride towards the temple, I had to wait for half an hour at the railway crossing, he was indeed testing my patience, there were many other devotees who happened to visit the temple today like me and formed a huge crowd. More details of the temple is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjangud">here</a> , after a quick Darshan and few pics moved on towards Mysore, As I was habituated to skipping cities and moving on the Bye-pass roads, I did the same in Mysore – which took me through the city outskirts, bad, dusty, incomplete roads, I should have travelled within the city which might have been more comfortable.</div>

It was noon and not feeling good about the pathetic roads, I did not know if there was more to come. while leaving Bandipur I had actually planned to visit Ranganathittu Bird sanctuary but being tired I skipped and headed towards Maddur to celebrate the trip conclusion, parked the bike at Café Coffee Day and started getting drunk on Cold Coffee, I have a few nostalgic moments of this place, I reminisced them and clicking the last few pics of the trip headed home..</div>

The trip was waiting to happen from the time I read about Danushkodi the Ghost town and the distance from Bangalore , the trip materialized on 26<sup>th</sup> Jan2012, it was never planned for a solo ride but time and circumstances decide.</div>

The best part is I forgot what I did on the trip, except the road, the bike and me I don’t remember much, but will recollect and pen them or shall I say Key them </div>

There were various reasons for me to go on a long ride- be it for a break from the daily routine, relaxation, being on my own, peace, re-check my endurance, seek nirvana. </div>

Day one:26th Jan 2012</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bangalore-Electronic City-Hosur-Krishangiri-Dharmapuri-Salem-Namakkal-musiri-Srirangam-Tirchy-Madurai-Ramanathapuram-Mandapam-Pambam-Rameshwaram (680 kms)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once I had confirmed the trip I was confused whether the ride would be on the Avenger or the Pulsar, the doubts were cleared when I took the Avenger for a short ride to meet my wife and son on the weekend.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having injured my delts, courtesy my dogs giving a pull while chasing, I was not able to hang on the handle bar of the Avenger and also Pulsar having tubeless tyres the choice was made.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last two days the bike had gone thru a complete check up by my local mechanic and a change of brake pads at the Bajaj Service centre, tanked up the previous evening as I had planned to leave as early as possible and avoid the holiday traffic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Woke up early morning at 3.00 , was bit excited about the trip and had not slept well the whole night , Checked the bike, carried minimum luggage, camera ,phone, took adieu from mom, who was bit concerned but couldn’t do much to stop a crazy son.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing was going to stop now, I took the electronic city toll it was 4.30 by the time I reached the toll booth, from here the road was pretty good and with less traffic I cruised along 130 , couldn’t do less or else I would disrespect the good road, the sun gave a warm welcome near Dharmapuri, continued along and reached Salem around 8.00 am , there were few cars who accompanied me till Salem, few smiled when our paths crossed, reached Namakkal this is where I had to take a detour to SriRangam the first halt of my trip which is at a distance of 85 kms form Namakkal, the roads here turned a little bad, gave a few stops in between to check on the route , I was now travelling along the river Cauvery and being next the river , agriculture was thriving and the scenery was pleasant with greenery. Reached SriRangam at 9.30 a.m., it was almost 6 hours since I left Bangalore and had covered around 350 kms.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Massive Gopuram confirmed my arrival at SriRangam. Here I visited the famous Sri Ranganathaswamy temple, 26<sup>th</sup> being the Republic day there was a huge crowd and had to wait for Darshan, feel ashamed to say but money talks everywhere , even in temples ,took a special Darshan ticket which ensured a faster entry and exit , will not waste much time by going thru the details, the link <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srirangam">here</a> will provide more information about the temple .</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spent around two hours taking few snaps and headed towards Madurai at 12.30 pm. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
Fueled up at the Bye-pass, the road from Sri Rangam to Madurai was beautiful, well maintained and made me think the ride was worth, en route stopped for few photo sessions.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
Reached Madurai at 1.30 , famous for Meenakshi Temple, details and info about the temple is available <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meenakshi_Amman_Temple">here</a> , here I came to know the temple opens only after 4.00 pm , thought will make use of the time and went for a stroll around the massive structures, the local market, and chatted up with an interesting person named Balu, he has a tea shop near the temple premises, he is around 50+ is a bachelor and an astrologer and is keen on studying further , he wants to be more techno savvy and is now trying his hand at computers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
I prepared myself for the Darshan owing to the huge crowd waiting to enter the temple, after having Darshan of the goddess, visited the hall of 1000 pillars I was marveled at the designs and architecture. It was now time to move on to the next destination – Rameshwaram. It was 5.45 in the evening and I had covered 500 kms before heading towards Rameshwaram.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
Madurai to Rameshwaram is around 175 kms, it was already getting dark and I intended to cover much distance during the enough day light, few stretches were good and few were bad , Near a place Ramnad few young guys with new bikes criss crossed me and taunted me for a race, I thought of giving them a run for their money and beat them which I could have easily done, but being sane I realized how far I was from home and the trip ahead, any unfortunate incident at this time would spoil my whole trip and decided to ignore them , they did accompany me till the outskirts and seeing no response from me they backed off. I crossed Pamban Bridge and did not realize I was near the ocean and was heading towards an island, Reached Rameshwaram at 9.00 pm and checked into a hotel near the temple for a good rest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">
I had covered 680 kms in a day, around 180 kms more than my previous solo rides. This brings an end to Day one of my ride.</div>

Rameshwaram is known for the famous Ramanathaswamy temple – details of the place and temple is available <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rameswaram">Here</a> , I had set an early alarm on my mobile to get up early and have a view of the sunrise, woke up at 5.00 am and headed straight to the beach to have a dip in the sea(The beach of Rameshwaram is famous for its beautiful sea featured with no waves at all) , back home getting up at 5 in the morning is quite unthinkable and on top of that and having a bath in cold water is unimaginable ..Brrrrrr.</div>

Danushkodi is at around 20 kms from Rameshwaram town, more details of this place at this link - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhanushkodi">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhanushkodi</a> , this is one straight road with almost no traffic, and riding on this road alongside the sea on either side is nothing less than bliss. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once the tarred road ends you have reached Danushkodi, to go further to visit the actual ghost town you need to engage a jeep to take you there, except sand there is no proper road, I tried biking for around two kms but found it impossible as the bike got stuck at number of places in the sand. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The afternoon heat was draining me out , the road I was now travelling is known as ECR (East coast road) which is pretty good with salt farms at few places , once I reached Tuticorn(Thoothukudi)I refueled and here I made a mistake of taking a route alongside the coast instead of travelling towards Tirunelveli, a mistake which made me go through narrow bad roads and reached late and tired at Kanyakumari, the time was around 10 pm, during this stretch every few kms I would be blinded by the small insects which would hit the helmet visor and when I brush them from the visor they would leave a sticky residue which made the visor opaque , I had to clean up before I could continue, this one goes into the bad incidents of the trip.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Kanyakumari Checked in at a hotel after great difficulty, finding a place to stay for a single person was a huge task here. At last a good guy told me to check in as two people and take a double bed room, and stay alone, money talk’s dude <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span></div>
