Amazing level of detail for a trip taken more than 7 years back! You must have maintained a decent log during the trip.

Nice pictures and an excellent report.

We used the huge, approx. 70 Ltr trekking expedition sack as can be seen in pictures. And it was pillion rider's duty to carry it on the back. (The colour in this pic differs)

Did some of this route in 2007 in M800. Planning the same again in coming September with family. This time it will be Vista and Indigo XL.

Marleshwar is indeed very beautiful. Till you reach the foothills, one never knows the place is beautiful. we had visited in last 2004 december. I might have some handycam video's i will once again visit the memory lanes.

we have seen the whole Konkan belt (Mumbai till Goa) twice by car

the simple people, great home cooked food, very safe and beautiful beaches all keep inviting again and again.

thanks for this post which reminded some of the best holidays spent by me.

Wow, now that is a good travelogue done on a good bike. I have the original Ind Suzuki of 1984. My mother is the first owner although she has never ever sat on it. I will never sell it. Feast your eyes guys!

Best regards,
