Ride to Queen of Hills

Sitting in a extremely slow moving bus on a jam packed corporation circle after a freak of a day at office is exactly the reason why I want to get out of this , the best way is to pack up the bags pickup those keys and ride , though to an unknown destination would be ideal but nothing to take away if the known destination is as stunning as the Conoor . Emerald lake and the ride to Avalanche can have me there over and over again.

The long weekend was awaiting, Oct 2nd being a national holiday meant three days off and I and Aashu quickly decided we gonna ride to Pondy , but somehow at the last minute I decided to ride to Conoor. I booked my Homestay using #yatra.com , my company was providing us 15% off on all the bookings done through yatra , and I used this opportunity to book the homestay , generally I never do pre booking of rooms , but with wife with me and the experience of last ride I decided to prebook a homestay . As I was a first time visitor at yatra I got a 25% off on my booking and i booked a homestay called Aldivino which is just 1.5kms away from sims park in Conoor.

We started our ride at 6.30am and it started drizzling, but fortunately as we reached Mysore road the rain subsided making way for an awesome weather to ride. The excitement was short lived , Mysore road with heavy traffic , speed humps , road obstacles is a pain to ride , really can’t understand what is the need for so many obstacles at every 25kms which piles on the traffic , and the long weekend made the situation worse , but still I was doing good speeds , we stopped for breakfast at Kamath in Channapatana and reached Mysore city at 10.30am , from Mysore city to reach Gundlupet is another task , bad under construction roads and bad traffic make matter worse , always advisable to avoid this road and instead take Bangalore-Kanakapura-Chamarajanagara(NH 209)-Gundlupet if you are travelling to Ooty,Sultan battery ,Waynad etc , which I did on my return leg.

After an irritating ride from Mysore to Bandipur , we entered the Bandipur forest , the forest welcomed us , the vegetation was thick and it looked beautiful as ever , loads of birds and deer’s on the way and we reached to Kalhatti ghat passing the charming Madhumalai tiger reserve and Masinagudi , the 36 hairpin bends of Kalhatti Ghat is a treat to a rider , the curves are sharp and steep and the route is breathtakingly scenic , the AS200 was beautiful on the curves and I must give credit to Aashu for holding her nerves in the curves , I just love speeding in the curves I know it’s not a good riding habit but it’s difficult to stop myself . 

2pm we reached Ooty , had our lunch at Ooty and headed straight to Conoor which is 19kms from Ooty city.We reached Conoor at 3pm post our lunch and our very friendly host guided us to the home stay. Aldivino homestay was awesome , in a beautiful locale , very clean , nothing fancy but well maintained , a very good host and a very humble room service guy. We took a much needed hot water bath , rested for a while and went to swamy&swamy tea factory at Sims Park , I love this place , the place has some great views and an ideal place to photograph sunset. We spent some quality time at the tea fields photographing, came back to our homestay and zzzzzz.....

We woke up leisurely on Saturday , our plan was just to ride up to Avalanche , take a few photographs at the stunning emerald lake and rest for the day. We started at 8.30 in the morning, had breakfast at Conoor town and started our ride towards avalanche. The valleys opened up for some spectacular views , the valley where you can view the emerald lake is a visual treat , I was enjoying the views and suddenly Aashu told me to stop the bike , when inquired she told her mobile has fallen off , immediately we called and the we heard the familiar tone telling " the number you are dialing is currently switched off " . 

I stopped over at many places on the way to take photographs and as I was photographing I saw a few guys playing near the emerald lake below , a couple of times before I had been to emerald I was not allowed to go near the lake as its a protected area , I understood that only the area around the dam is a protected area and with the help of local folks I rode down to the lake , we spent some time on the banks of this stunning lake , it’s called emerald because its covered by greenery all around and because of which the lake looks green in color which gave it the name emerald.

The Landscape just opened up to bless us

After spending sometime at the lake we rode back to reach the avalanche check post and for the 3-4th time I was denied the entry as there were too many people to accommodate, disappointed rode back to Ooty , purchased the famous Ooty homemade chocolates for the family and rode back to homestay , tea , chatting and hot water bath and relax , day well spent.

The evening just got beautiful

Nice place to hangout

We had packed the previous night and we started our ride back at 6.30 in the morning. It was cold and I felt cramps in the fingers , the fog filled Kalhatti ghat was simply beyond explanation , Aashu was all exited , we stopped for breakfast after crossing the Bandipur forest , as told earlier , I took deviation at Gundlupet towards Chamarajnagar to avoid Nanjangud road. A couple of stops one for tender coconut and for some fruits and reached home by 1.30 pm.

My two love

The queen of hills was as welcoming as always, Aashu thoroughly enjoyed the ride, hope you enjoyed the blog and photographs , until next time I ride to Yelagiri for RTMC 14A , take care and god bless

Ride of many firsts

Life at 115 kmph is fast, freak and bloody awesome if done responsibly. That’s one of the firsts here , riding at that speed , another was Pulsar AS 200 and another was wifey joining me on her first overnight ride.

The ride started with many doubts, how will the bike perform? is it comfortable for the pillion? Can it take the cramster saddle bag? and many , all were pity well answered , the bike performed beautifully , the new age engines are so refined and coming from the stable of royal Enfield smooth engines are something which I was not used to , the AS 200 as said earlier was a great highway performer , but does the AS200 does justice for its tag of a AS(Adventure Sport) , I beg to differ , handling of the bike in bad roads is difficult , with the seating position there is a huge pressure on the hands specially on the palms when doing downhill , but the positive to are the great MRF tyres it comes with and also a very effective disk brakes.

We started our ride on the Independence day , living up to the tradition am following from 2009 and am glad it all started with my 2009 ride to Chikmagaloor , when I look back I feel extremely happy that what in 2009 started as a one of jolly bike ride has grown into a deep routed passion , 2009 independence day ride was followed by 2010 Kudremukh , 2011 Danushkodi , 2012 NH17 , 2013 LEH , 2014 Vagamon and 2015 Chikmagaloor again. The only change was from Std 350 to AS 200.


The ride started early at sharp 6 , the cramster saddle bag fitted perfectly and off we went. We fuelled up at the shell near Jalahalli and took the Nelmangala-Hassan-Belur-Chikmagaloor route to reach Chikmagaloor. The beautifully laid out Bangalore - Hassan NH is a pleasure to ride , I kept a good pace and we were zooming past many cars effortlessly, we reached Chikmagaloor by 11.30am and did not stop at the town as we were expecting to stay at any one of the many homestays there , we inquired more than a couple of homestays on the way to Mullaynagiri but unfortunately all the homestays were prior booked and we were forced to come back and book a room in the town .

We booked a room in the town ,unsaddled had lunch and a little rest and headed to Mullayanagiri , there was a huge traffic congestion on the way up and the roads were patchy , here's where I felt a royal enfield would have done better , we reached the Mullayanagiri top and the excitement in aashu's face was something I cherish , what travelling specially biking does is something only to be experienced , we went to the small temple on the hill top , it rained for sometime when we were at the temple , we descended Mullayngiri and headed to the beautiful Hirekolale lake .

Just to find out that it’s near the same lake we had stayed on my first ride I did way back in 2009 with RTMC , the lake is in midst of lush green chain of hills we spent a good 3 hrs near the lake clicking a few pics and we headed back to our room , a quick dinner at 8pm and zzzzzz for the day.

Hirekolale Lake

We got up around 7am on Sunday , breakfast and headed back home , we started at 9am and 1.15 we were home. What a ride! Nextride on the 2nd 3rd and 4th of October , will be back with my blog. Be happy , god bless

The Blue Beauty... Andamans

Hei folks , am back with my photo blog of my recent trip to the stunning Andaman's. In this blog I will try to take you through the 7 night 8 day trip to the Andaman , sharing with you a few photographs I clicked on my trip. So here we go , hope you are with me.

I and my wife decided to go to the Andaman's in the month of December and I planned my vacation a good 2 months before the actual journey. As I was travelling with my wife I decided to take a package trip and for this I approached Travel 4 seasons , my package included 2 days in Havelock, 1 day at the Neil island , 3 days in Port Blair including a day journey to Baratang Island. My travel date was  December 6th and I took the Air Asia flight from Bangalore to Chennai , Spice Jet from Chennai to Port Blair. I flew from Bangalore to Chennai on the 6th morning. Chennai to Port Blair is a 2 hour flight and we reached the Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair at around 12pm.

As I had booked a packaged tour a driver was waiting for us at the airport and he soon took us to our hotel located at the heart of Port Blair City . Hotel Aparupa was a decent hotel with basic amenities though I thought the space was little cramped, they made it up with their excellent service. We were told by our driver that he would come back to the hotel @ 4 PM to drive us to the nearest beach and the much anticipated light show at the Andaman Central Jail. We rested for a file after a good lunch and sharp @ 4 the car was ready to pick us up and he took us to the beautiful Corbyn's Cove Beach we spent a good 1 hour there at the beach clicking a few photographs.

Sharp at 5 we left to Cellular Jail for the Sound and Light show , frankly speaking the light show was disappointing , though it was heart wrenching to know the sacrifice our freedom fighters did and proud to be associated with such a proud history , the light show itself could have been better. After the light show we went back to our hotel and we were instructed to be ready by 8 AM the next day , we were off to the stunning Havelock which is a 2 hour cruise from Portblair , we took the Mak cruise which was scheduled at 9AM in the morning , it was a pity interesting ride but as per the rules we were not allowed to venture into the dock area which would have made the ride more beautiful. 

We reached Havelock by around 11.30AM and checked into our beach resort The Holiday Inn on the Vijaynagar Beach by around 12PM. Its a decent resort with good clean rooms and luckily by room was just 50mts walk from the stunning Vijayanagar beach .

Food was decent and staff were very helpful. After a good lunch we left to the much talked Radhanagar Beach , it rained that day and the conditions were overcast that meant we may miss the gorgeous sunset on the beach , as expected the long beach was a stunner , the first thing which came to mind when i saw the beach was "oh i missed the sunset" but me and my wife who also loves photography did a lot of experiments with light and it was fun.The blue hour had set in and everything around looked beautiful.

The next day we left to the elephant beach, elephant beach is another island in the Havelock and its a 20min boat ride from Havelock , elephant beach was just beautiful , I and my wife did snorkeling there at the beach and also played few water games , we get to spend a maximum of 3 hours on the elephant beach and with fossils of loads of fallen trees and crystal clear beach its a beautiful place to visit.

The Stunning Elephant Beach

From the elephant beach we came back to our room in Havelock and as we were taking rest something stuck my mind , the weather was beautiful that day and clouds were clear and that meant possibility of photographing the sunset , I quickly booked a two wheeler on rent ( just like Goa we get two wheeler mainly activa for rent on daily basis for 300INR)  and we went to Radhanagar beach again , and the beautiful sunset just made our day , we could feel the blessing of nature in that beach that day. We came back happy from the beach and the next day we were to leave to the Neil Island.

The Leap

The next day i got up early at 4AM4to photograph the sunrise , the shallow shores of Vijayanagar beach I had heard is a great place to see sunrise , but how great?! can only be experienced , can I say breathtaking or magical , sometimes words fail. You getup at 4 in the morning when everybody else is sleeping , get into the water , get dirty and when you get to see the sunrise which you can remember for life and get to photograph it is what make travelling a philosophical experience.

Our cruise to Neil island was at 11AM0, we again took the Mak cruise to Neil island and reached the shores of Neil around 12PM. Neil Island is a very chilled out place , it has three beaches Bharathpur , Seetapur and Lakshmanpur beach , Bharathpur beach has loads of water bound activities and have heard that its one of the favorite destination for divers with loads of live corals in the beach , Seetapur beach is famous for is
sunrise and Lakshmanpur beach for its sunset. Personally I did'n like this place as much as I liked the Havelock , the beaches were not as clean as it was at the Havelock or the elephant beach and it looked like any other beach of southindia.

The next day we took the cruise from Neil Island back to Portblair and checked into hotel aparupa. Post lunch we went for a city tour in Port blair , we went to archaeological museum and again to cellular jail , to see the cell where Veer Savarkar was imprisoned for 10 years was a real humbling experience , and we came  back to our room all set for sea walk at the northbay island the next day.

The next day we took a cruise to the Ross island , Ross island was a British colony and we can see a few remains in that island , but Ross was one of the most affected island during the tsunami , and nothing much to say. After spending a good 2 hours at the Ross island we then went to the Northbay island , Northbay Island sports the famous lighthouse which can be seen in the 20rupee note and is a hub for water sport activity in Portblair , Northbay has live corals and also has abundance of aquatic life. We had option of doing seawalk or scuba at Northbay but considering scuba is available in Murudeshwar in Karnataka and in Goa we decided to go for seawalk , 

Seawalk as the name says is walking on the sea bed , you will be given a astronaut type of a helmet and will be guided to the seabed inside a marked boundary , it was very exiting as we witnessed amazing life inside the sea , its a whole new world inside the water , it has to experienced to understand.

The next was our trip to Baratang famous for its mangrove forest and limestone cave , its a 2 hour drive from portbliar via the Jarava Tribe area , inside the Jarava tribe area lone vehicles are not allowed , vehicles inside the area are allowed in a interval of 3 hours to 4 hours once and all the vehicles have to go as a convey. Once we reach the Baratang island we have to take a 20 min speed boat to and trek for 1.5kms to reach the limestone cave , I felt more than the cave the journey was interesting , 

After Baratang we reached our hotel and got ready for our flight for the next day. We took the spice jet from Port blair to Chennei and the Air Asia from Chennai to Bangalore and reached home by 8PM.

So here ends a exiting journey to andaman, long overdue but finally done. Havelock was the best and I felt there was lot more to explore in Baratang and a day spent in Neil could have been used there , nevertheless a journey worth remembering. Hope you liked it. Photos were taken by me using a CANON 600D and I use a CANON 18-135 mm, CANON 10-18 mm ,CANON 50 mm and SIGMA 70-300 mm for my photography.

Until next time , be well and God bless.
