Guys!
I am S O R R Y ! ! !

This had to be planned in no time. Yesterday, as usual we were in between one of those daily evening meets that we suddenly had to decide upon this.
Steeroid has a flight to catch on Friday before his boss kicks him out of his job. And he is the one who started up the topic with MansIdea giving him full kicks. So, we are now doing this before the weekend dawns upon us.

The DESTINATION:
It's a forestic area in Kerala known as Neliampathy. It's in Palakkad district and surrounded with unlimited greenery and hills.

The DRIVE:
We will leave from Trivandrum by around 5am or so to Trissur. From there on we will either choose 1 or 2 vehicles for the journey ahead.

Confirmed till now:

1. Steeroid
2. Mansidea
3. A S H V I N
4. Speedzak
5. Mah1r

More details coming up after my lunch.

Have loads of fun guys! I can't make it coz it's on a a weekday. Are you guys here in Tvm?

when are you leaving TVM?

I am leaving from Cochin. So is A S H V I N and rest from here.
Dunno if anybody is joining in from TVM.

MansIdea!!! Where are the pics man????? :Frustrati

Damn. I coudnt make it tomorrow :( Otherwise I would have jumped in.
Enjoy the offroading post good pics and stories. Dont bother the Kerala Police, this time :p

Sorry, Not Possible. To be at Office

damn weekdays :( why couldn't it be on a weekend !

Question is when ?? If I have to have any chance of making it .

@ prabhuav

well i say leave the office now. get some clothes, fuel up and lets say we shall meet up with you for breakfast?! sounds like a plan eh? or else you could also fly down tonight?!

what are the vehicles ? I know steer's got a safari. And what kind of terrain ?

That is a lovely plan........but

Just got off a client call and have a full day - ending with a 11pm call tomorrow :Frustrati

Zak ...strikes again & this time with another beautiful location. I am sure this will be a real monsoon drive & Roads are beautiful & well tarred (for a change). From Nenmara, its rubberised & immediately after the forest check post, the pothundi dam view point will give ample opportunities to the shutter bugs. (Ripper - dont miss this one)

Here are some motivators from me.

Green green roads


but watch out for obstructions while you get lost in the beauty of nature


there are silent ones too


dont miss the waterfalls in between. dont worry if you miss one as there are plenty enroute


The Mampara Drive or OFF ROADing & sorry only jeeps are allowed - not by rule but by experience.
The grass/plants shows the direction of the wind & the intensity of the rain. dont forget your rain coats as the front seat of a jeep will not miss any drop


you will enjoy this climb


& the climb downs


Surprise in between :Shockked: Dont pinch yourself. its true


& she is not alone


Learn new off roading techiques


some survival ones too


& the FOG. dont forget to check your fog lamps


Pls. dont miss this one guys, as this will be one hell of a drive. Pls. let me know the final numbers so that i can organise lunch & your OFF ROADing vehicle.

Mansidea's pictures have well, spoke everything of what we are upto tomorrow.
The terrain, vehicles, clothing etc.. everything is explained. Well done!

And, ooops! I made a mistake in my first post here by mentioning trivandrum!!
We will leave from Cochin tomorrow as early as possible. That is as close to 5am. we will reach Trissur and rest of the convoy will join there!

Where is Nikki???

Awesome!! I am married to my stupid laptop. :Frustrati

I will visit this place for sure. Let me know the options for stay there?

Have a great time guys!!

Missing this one. weekdays are difficult. that too on short notice. enjoy.:Frustrati
