Great pics Shahnawaz. So like we discussed after our OTR, you guys managed to camp out and spend a night in Soligere. Wish i could have been there but then atleast my jeep made it to the OTR. As usual excellent photos and writeup.

excellent location and write-up.
kudos to the person who selected the location.

difficult for me to think of such outings.

Nice write up and great snaps too. i remember seeing vishal at the nandi hills meet with his white zen ! am i rite could anyone confirm ?

@mjothi

Before that he would land his front wheels on your aveo's windshield and continue asthough he had passed over a small rock or a boulder would you try to give it a shot, as you read this post i see you cursing and shouting at me

I wonder why did I took you "IN" my aveo. I should have taken the Aveo "ON" you

Sharath, you must do this one. not just for the terrain but the camping + view part also. Drop in any time and we all just need a reason to go to Soligere -- any time.

Quite agree. Also, in 'organized and large' OTR's you miss out on fun and I feel that OTR with close friends is the best thing. nothing beats it.

@Kittigadu: Krishna! Nice pics and write up and certainly when you flagged me down and invited i should have joined but had to take care of some things during the week end and this OTR would have been a great experience. But again, some other time would take time off and join you "JEEPERS AND CREEPERS"

@Khan, Sreeraj, Kitti, Jammy, Vish: This is one super duper OTRavelogue! I dont't want to repeat what others have said - only that I completely agree with them!

@Sree and Kitti: It would have been really great to have such a memorable first OTR experience.

@Khan: TIP (from real life experience) - Take boiled eggs next time. You can also make pretty good egg masala or egg curry with them very quickly and yeah no stains on the person carrying the eggs.

I think these 2 pictures below should throw another perspective on how wonderful Soligere peak is and why we never get tired of going there at a drop of a hat. -- both from an OTR + camping + view perspective.

The picture below is the watch tower at the base of Soligere and is a small hillock. The red lines in a very rough manner indicate the way to Soligere peak.

From the soligere peak, this is the watch tower hillock. the small red circle. Now imagine the thrill of doing off-roading from down there to the peak.

And yes, one more picture of me trying to bring down my tent in the morning. :-). Just imagine sleeping with that view and waking to that view. :-)

Hey Guys,
Thanks a ton for sharing the photos and the info.
YOU ALL LIVE MY DREAM.
I am destined to make it there for camping very soon.I have seen the route in the map/sat image.

I just have one question, if any of you would be kind to answer, I will be thankful.

Question:-Is it not ILLEGAL to camp at this hill top? If some kind of permission is required then how to get it.?

Regards

2 years is, I think, a wee bit too late to thank them for the pics/info

Apart from the fact that you had me confused on how I missed this thread till it became 3-pages long (assuming it was talking about Sep 13 2010 !!!)
