This month quota for travel came along on the Indian Independence Day (August 15th, 2004). Along with my friends namely Gautham, Jimson, Viju, Madhavi and Bharath, we decided to go to Siddarabetta and nearby hills of the Eastern Ghats near Tumkur (95 Km from Bangalore). We wanted to do some bouldering, cave exploration and bike riding. It was a Bajaj Team (2 Pulsars and a Caliber 115). I got to test the limit of my bike, the Caliber 115 to reach just about 85 KMPH speed. Very good National Highway just facilitated our ride. On the way, just stopped over to climb a good looking rock face and also did very minimal bouldering on top of that hill.
The cave exploration at Siddarabetta was in itself very exciting along with good lunch within one of the caves.
Not much time was left and we decided against visiting other nearby hills (Madhugiri, etc...).
The highlight was riding the last 50 KM stretch on the National Highway cruising at an average of 75 KMPH. Jimson's pulsar was also tested to the limits of 120 KMPH (with the hefty Bharath as the pillion)
One of the group snap can be found in my galleries.
