Just a few months back one of our members paid heavily when while returning back to Mysore from Bangalore late at night he dozed off for a fraction of a second.

But otherwise the road you took really looks interesting. Avi, you tried this one before? Looks interesting though sounds a tad dangerous to try out if the conditions are not ideal.
Honestly, Im not trying to be any hero here..... the way we do our trips..and thru totally un-inhabitated areas....sometimes there is no place to even park the and catch a nap.... so we lug the car @ 60-70 and try to reach a gas station and fill fuel and ask permission to sleep for an hour or so..

I tend to doze only on straight clear roads in the night..like this one (Gujarat ---Del-Mum)..where you have enough room to veer L or R and halt . on ghat roads I am awake as its interesting...

Dont worry friend...I am careful...I have a lady with me too... so cant halt just anywhere.... and its only this time the hallucinations were too bold to remember.
