It's a pleasure meeting you guys.Return drive was super fun.Car discussions, boring boat ride, high speed convoy, food hunt, chicken Briyani @5pm, special nimbu soda with seeds, tea breaks, photo shoots, night drive, vinith gyan on new hidden feature in fiesta, saran car gyan session, kumsi selfie video, harshita joining the drive even though, she visited the place recently and jagadesh keeping up with us despite being a new driver.

 

We missed panchagani team.Hope to see you all in 2017.

Thank you guys for contributing and making the drive success.Detailed report will be out soon.

Hi guys, I've been a silent observer till date on the forum, the convoys, the beautiful pictures and travelogues, quick updates on the road conditions have grabbed my attention the most in the forum... Do you usually do drives only from Hyderabad or any other metros too.. ? I am asking this out of curiosity as I recently shifted to Bangalore from Hyderabad...

Only in Hyderabad.

But usually, Hyderabad travel enthusiast should pass through Bangalore to cover places in south India,

It is usually based out of Hyderabad but you can always join for the drive amidst Bangalore when we have a pitstop somewhere around you place..

Looking forward for the next one...
