Journey not the destination

Sometimes you pick up your bike with a plan in mind and then you meet a co biker who equally hates to ride on National Highways. NHs are all about speed... But biking apparently is not just about speed right!

So well we decided that we are going to Valpari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valparai) which is around 500 Km from Bangalore and then we decided that we are gonna go there passing by country side and not taking any NH. Well, finally we didn't reach anywhere close to Valparai but we definitely did some offroading which was just amazing.We took our first diversion and Anekal and from there we don't know where we went, literally!

View from the temple

Our first part of off roading was to a temple which was pretty interesting because even in the middle of nowhere temple we saw many people praying. The view from temple was nice!

We just kept riding on the small roads. Did some off roading on a mountain. Every local person told there is no road and we still found a road through our bullets :).

This is the road we took!

We reached in the night somewhere in Tamil Nadu. Took a room which apparently was amazing for mere 500 INR. The food was good. The hospitality was good. Name of the place where we stayed... I don't know :).

Next day we started again and finally after riding for few hours reached Hogenakkal falls. The rush there was madening so we decided that to keep the spirit of just the journey and no destination we came back :).

While coming back, we again took some random roads and did some more off roading and I must tell you some of the villages just on Bangalore outskirts are amazing for off roading. At some place we passed through literally some valley sort of structure and at other times we passed by road as thin as width of our bikes. The best part was when we had to manage the passing by cows also on that same thin road :)
