Our last meet-up of the year 2016 was planned a just 2 weeks ahead of our meet up and our excitement towards meeting all the new India-Drive men started to prevail. Well, it had finally happened on a Saturday i.e. 10th December-2016 which turned out to be more fun than what we have anticipated. 

 

All the 7 cars who attended the meet have lined up for a short introductory session

 

We set our own pace towards the destination by not missing out on 'India-Drive's' convoy 

 

That's how you space up with the car ahead of yours

Those long curves are fun to drive. But overall road condition is average.

We reached our first stop at the destination besides the Nagarjunasagar dam which seemed quite dry with no water around

 

We got involved with our principle photo-shoot at the pit-stop

Group picture.

 

 

We paced up towards our next stop before we headed for lunch i.e, Boating point towards the Nagarjunakonda Island

 

 

The roads throughout this place seemed quite good for a smooth drive

 

All the 7 cars besides the dam

 

Covering the entire convoy in frame is a tough job. Time to get a wide angle lens.

On our way to the boating point, we stopped by for a short breather to get some clicks

 

The boating start point towards Nagarjunakonda Island

 

We had reached the Island which was on the other side of the dam when the shone bright on our heads 

 

 

 

All set for a ride back towards our start point

 

And yes the water was in abundance

We were all set for a drive back to Hyderabad

 

Waiting for the rest of the members to regroup.

 

We had stopped by for a late lunch at the Siddartha hotel 

 

That's all folks.. See you again  and looking forward for more this 2017

It's been a pleasure meeting you guys. Return drive was super fun. Car discussions, boring boat ride, high speed convoy, food hunt, chicken Biryani @5pm, special nimbu soda with seeds, tea breaks, photo shoots, night drive, vinit's 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 the panchagani team. Hope to see you all in 2017.

 

Thank you guys for contributing and making the drive a success.
