Note: Book you Homestays before starting from Hyderabad.

Note: Lockdown is over not the Pandemic. We request travelers to follow all safety measures.

It was my first road trip in Covid-19 time. My last trip was in Feb-2020 to Kolhapur and since then I was restless for 7 months in Covid. Normally I used to travel during my birthday in July first week and I was planning for a travel despite Covid-19. But the virus did not like the idea and infected me in the end of June and I was almost sick for a month. 
 

In the middle of pandemic and all the chaos some heart warming pictures.
