First stop at Rishabh's for breakfast
Outside for a casual chat and about whats gonna follow...
Futbol Mondial
The gang making its way towards. See the peak- thats Rajmachi fort, but on the other side of the valley
The Gentle-giant for a pose
Was up there for clicking the gang
It was lovely...much greener than it seems here
Khaleelbhai follows
Revel and me riding towards
Awaiting the trailers
This spot marked the end of the roads
The first official halt
Lined up steeds....they had no idea of what lied ahead ;)
Glen All Smiles
The clicker last to arrive
Need to get on the other side...
Chit-chatting by the stream..
Rajmacheeeeee.....
Patilsaheb on the quench...
Too mild flow...blame the rains for keeping away
Maybe he saw some girls down there ;)
Am getting over VERTIGO by each day
As always...a relaxed Mr. Dharve
The explorer
Lovely trail
Splash baby splash....
Two ex-colleagues for a pose
Rolling down the better sections
Hairpin of a different kind
Lonely Soul
Bump Way Round
Break after a slush treat
Balance balance balance....
But not for long....here comes my first fall
But smiles once back on two wheels
Checking his RVMs in the slush ;)
The ROAD ahead
Short break before the party again...
Got used to now....
Spinnnn it...
One of the better places to stop, at least you could stand still
Got slicks....LETS RACE
Lucky dry patches
Here starts the pushing business (thats Khaleel recovering from his crash)
Zor laga ke...
Arjun helping out Glen
The 4th missing
Revel rides out
One of the cleaner pics on the trip
Aqua-Fina
Revel balancing out...
Tiredness, fatigue...but all's well
Clean Up!
Khaleelbhai for a click!
End of aqua-sporting
Crash Crash goes Amit
Helping Mr. Patil regain...
Dont be fooled by the smiles
Waiting for help...
Drinks break
Half way up
4 people to get a bike going...
Digging out Parimal's ZMA
Never saw Pari sweat so much ;)
What the......
But finally we're up
This is bound to happen...
And this is what follows :P
Trekkers on their way...they were actually faster than us :D
Heavens.....ROADS!
The first glimpse of Rajmachi from this side of the valley
Look at Pari's expression...that says it all
Things didnt end yet
Down goes Glen's ZMA
This was PARADISE....we just freaked out here. Some different planet completely.
Wanna go down there
A distant shot...Thank God for everything!
Finallleeeee at the Fort's base
Close up of the walls
A wider shot...its hell lot bigger than it seems in this pic
At the feet of mighty Rajmachi...Khaleelbhai almost dead ;)
Battery swapping from mine to Amit's bike...his steed was refusing to fireup. We thought we're dead now!
End of the journey! Hats off to the guy who got his T-Bird till here
Tea was ridiculous, but at least hot
Amit all drenched
Group shot before the torture on our way back
Here come the Gypsies (my newfound love)
The Hunk and the Hunkster
Its Revel's turn to crash...and what a bad place to...eeooow!
The same Landcruiser that I came across last week. The rear tyre was mangled and was running on rims...surprisingly the driver didnt even know :P
Take that for an intake
I love Yellow...but any will do..Mummeeee I want a Gypsy
Am gonna steal this monster next time..it was taking the ascend as a walk in the park...see the chap in the red coat, he's the driver and he's out. The Jeep is running crawling gear all by itself.
Keeping the engine running was a bad idea on descends.... the gears and clutch were helping as brakes- of course with the engine off
We had to keep a lot of distance from each other..
Chocolate cake anyone?
Me down the second time :'(
Mild fog...wild HIDs
That was the end of all off-roading. God...what a trip! Thanks for the patience and watching it through.
