In fact few folks told us to go back home as well when we were enquiring for alternate routes that were open. Quote:

This would have been morning 7:30-7:45 ish sometime last week. I was riding along the highways towards Coimbatore around 2 Km short of L&T Bypass when the glowing DRL of this Octavia came in my rear view mirror. I was trying to guess from the stance if it was one of the hot versions when you crossed me. The Cayenne followed not more than 10 seconds later. I distinctly remember the number plate as well.
Look forward to crossing paths sometime in future. Wishing you safe and joyous journeys. |
Hey, that is a nice surprise. Good to know your coordinates. Will keep an eye out for spotting as we do that section quite a lot. Quote:

There was a nice drone shot in your video. You had packed a drone for this. Please share some information about your gear. |
All adventure which went well look good on hindsight but yes there were definitely instances when i was doubting my sanity which anyway doesn't rank very high. Gear was the usual stuff. Few gopros, a dslr and a drone. If not for the persistent rain, we would have had more stops for pictures. Quote:

Thanks Indran. Monsoon itself is a great time to drive. Sept is far away. :-) Quote:

These kind of drives are never forgotten and will be told over local brew with added spice in the years to come. Thanks! Quote:
