The trip destinations were Payyolli beach, Athirapalli water falls, munnar and silent valley national park and home.
Started of our journey on Saturday early morning by 1am after crossing Mysore stopped the bike for fuelling in Nanjangud, just as we left bunk the silencer of thunderbird 350 came off, it took some time to fix it, just hooked it up with small iron wire piece, around 6am we were entered Bandipur national park the greenery there refreshing the mind, too many lorries in this route, as we were passing we spotted a group of deer's grazing near by the road, as we exited the Bandipur we got in Muthanga the roads were so clean and washed by the rain the dry bamboos on either sides of the road gave a different look, Waynad region full of green and curves from top of the hill gave a different look and my beast was cruising through it in 60kmph smoothly swallowing the curves as there was nothing like that on the way, stopped for some photos KERALA TRULLY AN GODS OWN COUNTRY. An small accident in Thamaraserry where in the bike brushed past a car and had to take it to garage there he wiped it with terpentoil and it got cleaned thanks to Srinidhi for causing this we continued our journey, we were late to our first destination by 4hours Payyolli beach.
Payolli beach so empty, for the first time seeing an beach empty with nobody around took both the bikes close to waters had photo session there and TB350 rode on the wet sand of the beach it was like the beach belonged to us, spent an hour there just looking at the sea, since we were late we had to change our travel plans we then went to back waters, there the big boat ride per hour was 3000 rupees just took some photos and stopped for lunch where we were invited by hail storm, continued our journey in it to Thusharagiri water falls, reached there by 4.30pm as we entered in the rain got heavy, we were the only ones to visit an water fall in rain we did trek the dense forest uphill in heavy rain crazy experience, it was too good, around 5pm we started to descend down as it was getting dark, the water fall water was too cold didn’t get in as we were late, then took the room in Adivaram had our dinner by 8pm and slept off. None off the gps worked as there was no proper network depended on sign boards, auto fellows for route, It was quiet surprising on Sunday morning as all the heads turned towards the sound of the bike thanks to TB350, to get everybody’s attention.
Pholkat lake we were early by an hour there it was an small one we didn’t stop and continued our journey to Edkkal caves one the way we saw sign boards showing three waterfalls and an peak we took the route reached Chembra peak spent time till noon there ventured into tea plantation the road to the peak was narrow steep and no side barricades while ascending we saw mongoose, and we got to know that there is no water in the 3 waterfalls and its closed so we straight away hit to Edkkal caves, the climb was tiring for others and their luggage was on me, reached the cave with t shirt dripping water like as it was soaked in water and removed, it was 3.30pm while we reached down had our lunch in Sultanbathery and straight to Bangalore through Muthanga and Bandipur, we stopped for tasting watermelons but the guy said you can take a sack of 30kg for 120rs got one sack tied it to the bike, didn’t realize it was mistake till I reached Mysore where the sack came down, and had to shift it to other sack, while returning on Kankapura road saw an lorry carrying granite was lying sideways blocking the entire road, and we met an biker gang who were in an good speed on the stretch maintained the speed with them for some stretch as the luggage on my bike slowed down, and stopped in coffee day for couple of minutes and reached home by 1am Monday covering 965km.
