Great..Your car does deserve a bit of a slog. Let me do some more research and get back to you on day and time.

I'm driving on that route tomorrow (Saturday) as heading towards Tirupathi and will be stopping at "Food Pyramid (FP)" for breakfast

Plan to leave Gachibowli at 6:30am so as to reach FP at 8:00am

Anyone interested to join for the drive are welcome and we can meet over breakfast at FP

[psn]

Kindly, find link to a blog which I came across, and will give us an idea of what we can possibly be enjoying in the drive.
https://highwayonlyway.com/2013/07/1...ergreen-drive/

Also there are a few write-ups, obviously on team bhp also.
One of them by IndianNomad.
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...ures-only.html

I am also sure that there are several of us who have their own experiences to share.

The Mannanur Checkpost is about 200 km from Hyderabad and will take 2 1\2 hours to reach. After that the jungle starts(which is the exciting part) and we will complete that drive in 45 mins one way.
So if we leave at 5:30 AM also, we can reach the checkpost by 8 or 8:30. Enjoy the drive through the jungle, another 45 mins to one hour. Find a place for a quick breakfast and coffee at the end of the jungle or come back and find a place near the checkpost, have breakfast and be back home by 1:00 PM.
Warning: I have done this drive 6 years ago, so things may be different now. I am also not aware of any good place to eat in that area. So we might have to take impromptu decisions...
Inputs and suggestions welcome.
Main Objective: Be one with car and enjoy the road.

Driven multiple times to Srisailam on a motorcycle and a few times in the car too.

There is nothing to eat on Ghat section and it starts after the farahbad tiger reserve and it is nearly 180kms from Hyderabad (till the forest/ghat end) and will take 3.5 to 4 hours easily

We use to enjoy riding to Srisailam until they decided to add speed breakers on entire forest stretch which is a pain and we stopped riding to this destination

Otherwise, its still a great destination but, will be an almost a full day drive

Hey guys,

I am moving to Bangalore this Sunday!

Couldn't make it to any meets here but would see you guys anytime in the future for a Hyd-Bangy joint meets!

[dheepak10]

Hi,

Shall we plan for a short drive meet on Saturday (8-Mar), early morning around 6AM?
I'm thinking of a drive on ORR to Bhongir Fort (around 100 km from Gachibowli ORR junction).

We can have breakfast at the destination, visit the fort, click a few pics and then back home by lunch time or have lunch on the way.

Interested folks - Pls do reply!!

Regards
Dheepak

Thanks for taking the initiative Dheepak! Hopefully this thread will stay warm until the end of this week, and heat up in the next week with confirmations pouring in. Wishful thinking or day dreaming - you decide

Any idea/report on the state of water at NSD? Would it be the right time to visit it in July?

Unfortunately I cannot make it to my first Team-Bhp meet. Thanks to my Unit Tests which're to be conducted the very next day. So, would definitely try coming in for the next meet. But, if I were to choose from the above mentioned destinations, it would be Kuntala Water falls since it's a dream to watch in this season and add to the greenery available en-route.

So, let's start a poll and let's see what other Hydeez have in their mind. Let your opinions coming in Hydeez!!!! All the best for the upcoming meet and let's see what this meet has to offer you folks.
