Excellent photos clearly depicts the enjoyment you people had. I missed this outing very much after a wonderful meet last January in Mandarmani. In fact, I couldn't attend a lot of meets after that, but will try to make up for it next time.

Nevertheless, I enjoy reading all the blogs and threads posted which keeps me connected to the forum. So please, continue to travel more and keep sharing such wonderful logs.

Thanks!

It was a fantastic trip and my first drive with such a big convoy. Enjoyed every bit of it but missed the photoshoot opportunity due to some personal commitment.

A lot of fun and excellent drive mates made it another wonderful memory. Driving in the narrowest alleys of Puri with full size sedans, Muvs and Suvs was another experience that is worth remembering. All in all a great weekend and fabulous cars and people, enjoyed every bit.

A few snaps that I took the second day early morning

It was indeed a wonderful trip, kuddos to the organizers. Tarun (a friend of mine), flew all the way from Delhi to be a part of this trip.

For me, an overnight drive (which I try my best not to do), was a pleasant surprise and I did not feel sleepy at all (maybe it was due to the fact Tarun and myself kept chatting all the way. Not to forget, the LED bar installed on my car did a great job to illuminate the road. I tried to ensure it was switched off when I was trailing another car, but there were times when it just slipped off my mind, only to be reminded during the next pit stop, by my fellow drivers.

I definitely look forward for these kinds of trips which for me is the only entertainment.

Let me add one more. On the return journey i paid Rs 120 at the Panikouli toll. The rate was Rs 115. The toll attendant gave me the toll receipt and didn't return the change. On asking him for the balance 5 rupee change he started yelling that i have given him Rs 115! He then told me to come with him to the toll office and wait for an hour so he can get the CCTV footage that i paid him Rs 115 and if he can prove me wrong, he will charge me double the toll amount!

Was feeling really angry but sane sense prevailed for me, instead of nurturing my ego and challenging that cheat i thought to ignore and leave the place. Five rupee was not worth the time & fight but it did left a bad taste.

Awesome pics but why we were not called for the ice-cream party?

Thanks a ton. Odisha is really beautiful. I have not covered much of Odisha yet. Hope to explore further in Odisha in the coming years.

It was a pleasure meeting Tarun Da. Hope to meet him again in our next trip. Am sure he will be happy to be a part of our Team Bhp overnight meets too.

A word of caution for those who driving through Odisha-

Odisha police is strictly keeping an eye on overspending, specially near the big cities like, Balasore, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar. The legal speed limit in most part of the national highway in Odisha is 80 km/hr. So if caught for over speeding they are even suspending the driving licence for a span of three months.

Another crisp travelogue with beautiful pictures. Missed this trip
As SayakC mentioned, it is high time you start a thread on places in Odisha!
