This trip dates back to December 2011 !
It had been three months since I had joined my new organization. I needed a break. I had been to a fairly long drive to Hubli-Dharwad-YellamanaGudda-Dharwad-Bangalore a month back. (1050 kms approximately). But still I felt I needed another break. So when my friend Arvind called me and told that he was planning to go to Goa for Christmas, I immediately told him, I was interested and to count me in!.
The plan was three people would start from Bangalore by car (Arvind's Honda City) and one more person would join in Karwar. The accommodation was arranged in Karwar. You might be wondering, we are visiting Goa, how could we end up staying in Karwar? But it was one of the best decision ever taken. We crossed Goa / Karnataka border 4 times in total. It still is one of the more memorable trips I have ever had. I plan to write in detail as much as I remember.
So we start right on the journey day, 24 December 2011, early morning 3 AM. I planned to wake up early and drive to Arvind's place. As I woke up and got ready to leave, it was already 4 10 AM. And by the time I found out Arvind's place, it was around 5 AM.
We did pooja to Arvind's car and then started to pick one of his friend who was waiting at a neighboring locality. Arvind's friend was waiting and then we proceeded towards Tumkur. Our initial plan was to travel along Tumkur road all the way to Dharwad and then directly to Karwar where we would make a night halt.
Along the way, we stopped for Tea somewhere after Nelamangala and then for breakfast and Sira, Kamat Upachar restaurant. We then cruised along NH4, to reach Chitradurga around 9 :00AM. After Chitradurga, what we did is one of the most memorable and sweetest blunders we have done till date!
All of that in the next post, below are few pictures till this part of the journey !
Cheers,
