Finally managed to transfer the images from my Camera, albeit much later than what I had initially promised. Nevertheless a selection of images. Since I took snaps only when I was not driving which was very less, I have only a few snaps of the journey.

Over River Palar near Ranipet


Ratnagiri Murugan Temple near Vellore


Vellore Byepass - The flyovers give a new perspective to the sights of the towns you pass


Giant Wheels which have gone missing for kids growing up in Metros


Over Vaniyambadi Byepass Bridge


Vaniyambadi Toll Booth - Toll costed me Rs.933.50 both ways


The Hotel where we stayed overnight at Hriyur - Bang on the highway with decent A/c Room for 600 bucks


Sunrise just before we left from Hriyur on the way to Mahabaleshwar


Still a long way to go


The Hotel where we had lunch on the way back - between Haveri and Hubli, excellent food, very clean toilets and above all super service from the staff.


The lack of public transport means risky mode of commuting


As straight as the road could get - Visibility 5 kms


Hubli - Belgaum stretch possibly one of the best stretches I have travelled


The Sharma Merc Bus which met with an accident between Nippani & Sankeshwar - This was part of the first lot of buses handed over to Sharma, Konduskar & Neeta.


Hotel Dina, Where we stayed at Mahabaleshwar - Nice Place, Great Food and overall a different lodging experience.


View from Kate's Point


Another view from Kate's Point - What I think is the dam on River Krishna


One More from Kate's Point - This reaches Bay of Bengal all the way with some possibly reaching me as drinking water in Chennai as part of Telungu Ganga Project


What is Mahabaleshwar without waterfalls - especially with the Monsoon still on the wane


Kate's point resembling the elephant head especially in what looks like a Howdah on top of the elephant


A few more to follow little later.

The final set of pictures.

Sunrise at Wilson Point


Some Macro shots which I attempted in the Hotel where we stayed which has a very good garden, obviously it would be in full bloom around March / April







My White Lightning, which gave me no trouble what so ever all the way, kept up with the bad roads, spirited driving while coming back, the traffic jams in Bangalore & everything else.



Thats a partial me, an experimental shot

Had a training program in Mahabaleshwar, so could catch very little of sight seeing, hence very little pics of Mahaby.
