Re: Nandi - My Dominar 400 takes me to Trimbakeshwar The Ride Day
Come Sunday morning and I was up by 5 a.m., excited just like a kid who had just got back his favorite toy! Within no time, I was all ready and set for the ride! By 6:15 a.m., I, along with my friend, started for the ride. I was a bit apprehensive as the sky was overcast. Once we hit the highway, all worries and apprehensions vanished in thin air; the highways in Maharashtra are really good and offer really great view! I had decided to keep this ride a low speed one, so that i could soak in the maximum of the beauty around. Teaser 2 - The highway Ride log - 5th August, 2018
The tarmac is well laid and riding/driving on such well laid roads is always fun! Being in the midst of the Western Ghats, the view offered is drool-worthy, and thus riding/driving in such routes is addictive! Directions
Though the ride was just 27 kilometers long, it was beautiful and had some ghat sections. I took a good 60 minutes to cover these 27 kilometers, taking multiple photo breaks on the way. The view was overwhelming in each section of the road. The ride was exciting, and pretty uneventful, except for some photo breaks.
Once in Trimbakeshwar, I parked the bike in the parking lot right in front of the temple. The shops around the temple have a very convenient facility where you can store your helmets, bags, mobiles and riding gear in the shop for a small amount; I paid just around 100 bucks to store all of these! After buying some prasad, and the darshan tickets, we headed into the temple. The atmosphere inside the temple courtyard was so soothing and calm. One needs to walk a bit in the courtyard to reach the sanctum-sanctorum. It's entirely a differently world inside; the atmosphere all filled with peace and calmness!
After spending a good 15-20 minutes inside the temple, we came out, had some breakfast, and decided to visit the origin of river Godavari.
