Hello Guys, hope you are doing good. Thanks for making time to read this.
Bike - Gixxer 250. Total Distance = 600Km+.
Started from Bangalore Bommasandra at 8.00 am in the morning. I know it is a bit late to start for any biker. Took a small backpack with rain cover and powerbank. Went to Kolli hills and came back on the same day covering a total distance of 600+ kms in a day. I know it's pretty much to cover for any pro biker.
Ride started pretty nice, since roads are kind of multi laned and not much pot holes in the road, except a few.
After crossing Hosur, had a breakfast at a small highway side hotel. The guys were good, they gave me 2 dosas of Rs.30 each. Taste was good. Thin crisp dosas baked on a cast iron, without any oil, and served with chutney and sambar. Nice taste. Language doesn't matter when both parties are willing to understand, just showed him the calculator and he typed 30 to showcase the price of a/onru dosa. And I had 2/Irantu dosas. Continued the journey till Salem and took a 5 minute break at the Salem City entry point.
Maintaining a consistent speed with time is the key.

After Salem took a right as per the Map link mentioned above, and headed towards Kolli Hills.
Beginning of Kolli hills started with this view. Enjoyed the view for 5 minutes and then started again.
Hope you guys are able to view the water falls in the following pic, it's in the middle.
While driving through the hairpin bends we get to enjoy the views.
Was having a sip of Pepsi at hairpin bends and was enjoying the views.
And few clicks of the hairpin bend views are as follows:
Have driven the whole Kolli Hills circular path. Enjoyed different forest views.
While coming back saw this Banana market place. Bought banana worth Rs.20, and the lady gave me 10 bananas.
At this 58th hairpin bend had a banana and gave a few to monkeys. There were 70 hairpin bend one way. Total 140 both ways.
A beautiful view of Nature opening its heart through clouds to rain.
Good thing is I had to ride through this rain when I was down the hills.
After a certain distance had Honey Cake and Coffee from this shop. This reminded me of the small shop with great feelings, which I used to enjoy when I was kid. I was happy to see the local guys enjoying the tea/coffee here.
Enjoy the time when you are kid, no money can buy the childhood times again.
Path Travelled are as follows:
Try to drive the complete Kolli hills circle, it's fun.
Hairpin Bends:
Done with all the hilly area and finally started journey back to Bangalore.
Took a 5 minute break in the mid where a lake was on the left hand side, was able to view the home lights lit on the other side of lake.
And finally reached Home. Spent some time with Sister's Kid and finally slept.
