The impromptu trips do have their own charms. It lowers your expectations and subsequently you end up enjoying much more! :) It was a good read and it's nice to see that you are able to recollect the story in minute details from the trips that are done quite sometime ago. Keep posting!

Cheers,

The road through the forest was beautiful and I was extremely happy because last time I could not drive through these parts in my Baleno. I had always wanted to go back to Simlipal for this beautiful drive. This time we had a high ground clearance 4WD vehicle with us. My dream came true after 10 years!

Hey Blackpearl,
Were there places where you actually had to engage 4WD?
Curious to know since we are planning a trip shortly in a 2WD Scorpio and Ford Freestyle and was wondering if it might be difficult.

Hi SchrödingersCar, we did not have to engage 4WD anywhere. The Scorpio will be fine, not too sure about the Freestyle. If should be fine as well if it has got good ground clearance.
