| ![]() "guruve", on an otr anything without 4wd gets equated as "unfit" for an otr,( unless of couse its dwaraks gypsy,lol) so its not abt comparing a beeetle to a m800, so relax ! |

I have seen all the trail around Bangalore and this trail is probabily the most challenging and toughest. Since the number of vehicles were many and we had only minimum recovery equipments,we were treading in a safe path and did not push our vehicles. Since I had a winch, I tried in a few places(I don't think all were documented, I was in the front, Utkarsh may have some snaps) . It is indeed challenging. I personally feel this is one area will teach us quite a bit on mastering the techniques. It is an excellant combination of sand, slush, water and rocks. I think next time we will make batches of say maximum 5 jeeps have strict timings and start exploring with time intervals between batches. Though it is short, it is a fantastic trail and during rainy season it can be equally challenging like coorg or Munnar Suresh | |

| ![]() It was mentioned earlier that the track would not be wide enough to accomodate the safaris or any other vehicle apart from a jeep or gypsy. Ofcourse we turned out to be wrong since endys and scorps turned up unannounced. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The only Safari I had seen participating in this events is Hrishi's 4x4. Since he had his parents in bang during that time, he was not able to join us. Not sure, if he may join next time. |

That yellow beetle of yours definitely added colour to the OTR, atleast I loved it in the pictures. It was a little saddening that it scratched itself in a few places, but am sure, you would bring it back to top shape again. Between, I saw your other thread where you are restoring a VW bus. All the best buddy. Cheers, Deepak | |
