Its my long time dream to share my travelogues.

Coorg Trip, 2008

I was then staying at Bangalore. Let me introduce my travel gang members ..Rajarshi - our own dackar, Chinmoy - fondly called chinu, Indra Uncle - our beloved uncle, Bumba - our own BP and ofcource myself - everybody call me lal sweater. We usually will meet for gettogether and plan for a trip. We will go to the extend of fixing date and book hotel but it nerver used to happen that easily. One evening we decided we had enough talk letz go out. Called up uncle and asked if he is interested to go with us. He said where we said Coorg .. he said letz pack this week. We did not do any prior hotel booking we wanted to go unprepared and explore when we reach. At that time was I forced bachelor so didnot had any problem to convince :).

Friday night myself, chinu and dacter meet at bumba's place and spent the night. Bumba and chinu were bachelors and dacter too was like me. Uncle reached Bumba's place early morning at 6 am. By that time we were all ready. Uncle had a old M800 then (now he owns Innova). though it was quite stuffy was it was joy ride fully loaded with gang members. We started our journey by 6:30 am.

We hit the mysore road early as there were not traffics. The road is awesome. We reached Madur at 8 am. Its was our first halt for liquid our and liquid in.

After spending thirty minutes we started again. Reached Mysore by 9:30 am. Took the right turn towards Infosys. Again we took a left turn and headed straight towards coorg. There are basically two ways to reache coorg. Our route was shortest but road was not that good. The vegetations along the journey is breathtaking.

We reached Bhagamandala by around 11:30. We stopped for second time for liquid in and liquid out. There are lots of small eateries who sells hot idly and dosas yummy .... They also sells honey. They claim its 100%. I had a doubt but could not resist the temptation to buy one bottle. It was difficult to choose the right shop. I felt every shop was equally good or bad :). I then decided to buy it from the shop who has most becautiful lady selling it. Usually you will find all ladies at shop counter. I finally got one bottle from a shop which I thought was I was lucky.
While starting our last lag we had a little bit of disappointment here. Our uncle had felt the keys inside and the car's doors are locked. Here I felt the need of extra key should be handly to avoid such scenerios. Witth the help fo few drivers, we could start our journey again.

We reached Coorg the coffee capital of India by 12:30 pm. It took a bit long time as you would guess M800's thrust chooking with fully loaded five persons. But I must tell you one thing our queen M800 never had any hiccups. To be continued...
