Journey to the Wildside of life

Wildlife is something that everyone would love to experience and that is what i decided to do have the location fixed for my ride this time and place where very few have visited and it is a tiger reserve. Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, which also includes the erstwhile Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary, is a 391 square kilometers protected area in Chittur taluk in Palakkad district of Kerala state, South India.

Two mean machines and 3 of us had decided take off ...Friday night the 9th Dec 2016 at 10pm we where supposed to start but unfortunate reasons we had some commitments to take care and started our journey at 11:45pm and all were starving for food, so we decided to reach A2B after Shoolagiri which is around 57kms approx from the start point. Closing time and got 2 idly's per head to eat and keep us awake the complete night to ride. Around 1:30am started the journey and few pit stops for tea's we reached the Tiger hill resort by 6:15am which is around 414kms Google map click here.

Two check points, one is TN and other one is Kerala to reach Parambikulam. Both we had a fee of Rs.600/- approx for 3 and camera. Journey to the place takes approx 1hour due to road conditions.

With a lot of disappointments we were about to head to reach the gate and the bus stops for a break inside the Parambikullam village.
Disappointed visitors
This kid who came along did not see her at first but when we stopped and were having some snacks this cute kid got our attention....and made us feel better and kept us smiling all the way.










We reached the gate and we were heading back and found these 2 elephants getting ready for the safari for the guests who were staying at the jungle lodges.


Reached the resort and had food, the stay and food is really worth in this place. we crashed early to the bed and ended our day 1.

Day2: Early morning at 8pm we left the resort and headed towards another destination Valparai  is a Taluk and hill station in the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is located 3,500 feet (1,100 m) above sea level on the Anaimalai Hills range of the Western Ghats, at a distance of 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Coimbatore and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Pollachi. There are 40 hairpin bends on the way up to Valparai from Azhiyar. While major portions of the land are owned by private tea companies, large forest areas continue to be out of bounds.

This location is approx 54kms from the place where we stayed and the journey to this place takes easy 2hours. we reached the hill and had Vada's as breakfast which is really yummy and was hot.....after the heavy breakfast we visited the Sholayar dam did some photography.

















Started our return journey to return back to Bangalore it is 458kms. Around 2:45pm we were on the way through the village roads and roads were really good....one of my cousin was waiting for us to reach at Salem for riding back to Bangalore with us.
Had our lunch around 4:45pm and then started to head back from Salem with him. Return journey was real difficult as we were falling asleep but reached home by 8pm. Amazing trip and good company to enjoy with thanks a lot guy's for making it for this journey.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review

Image
Riderboy's Journey for 2019 starts with Interceptor review after a long break.  After RE announced a motorcycle with a twin engine for the first time, I was very keen to test the machine. I finally got a chance to ride the Interceptor for about 200km. The look and feel of the bike is just amazing. I can describe it as a retro and simple looking machine with clean lines. It draws attention from everyone. As soon as I mounted on the bike, I felt very comfortable. The Interceptor felt like a machine that was created just for me. I started the engine and surprisingly it sounded like a Triumph Bonnie.  I decided to ride the Interceptor to Krishnagiri, which is about 100 kms from Bengaluru. The motorcycle engine felt like a well refined one and it was also very smooth without any vibrations.  This is how happy i was after riding the machine for 100 kms....  We must truly applaud RE’s effort for getting an amazing super bike with unbelievable pricing...

Ride was planned few days before and nothing as such was booked particularly, got the bike serviced and ready for the ride as usual...I don't get sleep the previous night of the ride because of the excitement.  Day 1- Morning 5:30am started the ride and headed towards Taj Vivanta as it was our start point to meet the other Rider's. We started the ride and badly needed a tea to start the day with our ride, so headed towards a coffee day on the hassan road before the hotel Mayura. Had coffee at CCD and we had to stop again for Breakfast at Mayura which was 106kms from Bangalore exact at around 8am we headed to Towards Thirthahalli which was almost 231kms from that hotel. We took a diversion near Chenarayapatna towards Shimoga route, which was an awesome route. This road made me to stop for photography as i have the passion for photography. It was like the roads were layed recently for us to ride. This feel did not make us tired, however we had to stop ...

Ride for Passion and photography

Bangalore- Rameshwaram- Dhanushkodi- Kanyakumari- Munnar- Bangalore One week before the ride planned for a Solo trip as usual being a working class person wanted salary to hit the pockets to even start the trip. In the mean while i had a chat with my friend who was keen to join the ride and that became group ride with two of us, but not big numbers. We initially had discussed the plan to ride on the 2nd June 2016 to 5th June 2016{ Bengaluru- Valparai- Munnar- Thekkady- Periyar and Bengaluru}, all was ok and we decided to take tents and sleeping bags, not to book any accommodations anywhere in advance also. Day 1 {2-06-2016} Starting Point was at Jaguar showroom silk board at 5am and my friend had an hectic day previous day and had reached home late due to rains and was not prepared for the ride. I did give him a wake up call at 3:30am to make sure he reaches the start point on time. He reaches the start point at 7am and then we start our ride filled fuel for our bike...
