I drove Hyderabad-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Calicut-Trichur and back not once but twice this year. It's terribly boring to drive alone!

Perakath · 11th June 2009, 22:03

I'm doing Delhi to Chennai solo in a Zen two weeks from now. Thread for that coming up soon!

asethi · 12th June 2009, 01:40

I drove solo approx 1500kms Bangalore-Kollam round trip in Feb, and then back too. Was real fun!
Before that did Bangalore Goa round trip (1400kms approx) in Dec-Jan.

My Solo single stretch (no halts):
Khuri (near Jaisalmer) to Noida - 1100 Kms

A real tiring drive with lotta time stuck in traffic jams & a blinding fog.

My Solo circuit:
Noida-Kalpa-Sangla-Sarahan-Manali-Rohtang-Noida: ~2k Kms

This was a beauty, one of my most memorable drives.

n.devdath · 30th June 2009, 11:51

I have driven Hosur - Hyderabad - Hosur and enjoyed the Solo driving, felt bit drowsy after a light breakfast well managed to drive

sabsubs · 27th September 2009, 07:55

My solo drives have been between Bangalore and my hometown every weekend. Every week end I drive more than 400 KMS all-alone. In total I have driven more than 6000 KMS all alone. When ever I start my journey, I would be nervous while starting the journey and it takes few kilometres of driving to settle down. But one big disadvantage, there’s no one to talk to but there’s music to listen to all the time :-)

cpyder · 27th September 2009, 10:24

Bangalore to Coimbatore, back in year 2000 in my PAL Fiat 118 NE. Solo and non-stop, the battery was dead and if it stopped once, I would have had to pool in 2-3 people for 'dhakka start'.

ampere · 27th September 2009, 19:18

Not more than 350KM.

Mostly done places around Bangalore.
- Waynad, Ooty, Coorg, Chikmagalur etc.

Akadian · 27th September 2009, 22:16

Almost 1200 kms on a single day, from Kolhapur to Udaipur via Pune - Thane - Vasai - Vapi - Surat - Ahmedabad - Himmatnagar. I did this on 7th August, 2009. It was a nice experience and once I settled in, I was simply not feeling like stopping

KSM-Vtec · 29th September 2009, 11:09

My new personal best - 1400kms-27hrs in a Gypsy from Katra(Jammu) to Udaipur.
