These 11 days exceeded all my imagination/expectations. Saw all possible weather conditions in 5 days of trekking. Information Har-Ki-Doon (HKD) [3550 mtrs] is a classic Tea-Shop trek. One can do this trek without any tents or ration to carry. The place can be reached in 3 hops from Sankri. If you are planning for your first Himalayan trek, this is the highly recommended

Nov 29,30 2008Eventhough this was the third time Me being on this route, it had the most eventful and probably the ablest team than the previous two occasions.Thanks to "Nisha", most of the 2 days trek was covered with Mist and the visibility before noon on  both the days was not more than 10 metres.People wondering who is Nisha?, The cyclone that hit Chennai last week of Nov 2008.Pre-Trek

le Tour Coorg – The Bike trip – Story (Day 4) Dec 24, 2007.Last day of the tour and we were pretty much exited about the Home-coming. The terrain was supposed to be a flat one most of the places.Gonikoppa is a town which wakes up pretty early, By 6 AM, there was more than expected crowd and business on the street. I was not able to sleep properly the previous night. Mostly due to the loud noise

Best day of the tour! "Sightseeing at Chelavara. Riding in the Fog along the brahmagiri range. Breathtaking vistas all around."Got up at 5, as usual in the morning and were off from KSTDC hotel by 6.30. Bhagamandala was more colder place than madkeri, probably because of the river. It was still dark and to make the matters worse for riding, there was a thich fog engulfing the temple-town. A nice

Got up at 5.15 AM, had a nice coffee at the adjacent hotel and started off towards Bhagamandala at 6.15.The Woodlands-Hotel is on the same road as the KSRTC Bus stand. To go to Bhagamandala road, we needed to climb upto “Kariappa Statue Circle” and take a right turn towards Mangalore.It was still dark and the road was not very good. To make the matters worse the terrain was a steep descend for

Day-1 Dec 21, 2007At 2.00 A.M I tried for half an hour in “Vasavi Lodge - Sakleshpur” for Mobile-blogging, but in vain. The text box was too small for any story, and I thoght it is not worth trying any more.Reached Sakleshpur at 1.30 A.M, got into this lodge for 425 rs. The journey was not very pleasant though.The JourneyThanks to “Neel” (My colleague) for transporting myself and my bike to the

It was quite some time since I took my "Hero Hawk" for a long ride (around 8 months).Thanks to Shree's narration on his experience of "Tour De Coorg" (http:\\www.shreekumar.in), which motivated me to restart pushing the pedal.All started with me and Shree planning for a 4 day Mountain-to-Sea cycling trip (Ooty to Kasargod), this time I had to practice well to keep up with him and his new found

One of the many reasons this being a "Special” outing was that my wife (Ramya) was with me on a trek for the first time.As the trip unfolded, there were lots many incidences and dialogues (especially with Vamshi around) that still bring a smile on my face.(pic by Ramya: View of Heart-Shaped Lake ) The idea of going for a “drive ‘N’ trek” was pondering in our (Me and Shree) minds for a long time.
