Hyderabad to Dindi reservoir, Srisailam

[Gowtham]

Hyderabad to Dindi reservoir

 

Distance : 140 kilometres

Road condition : One of the best road to drive. Super good.

Purpose : Monsoon drive

 

Route:
Hyderabad --> Kadthal --> Kalvakurthi --> Dindi reservoir 

 

This drive meet-up turned out to be more exciting than expected.
Plan was decided at 8 a.m. in the morning and we started from Gachibowli at 10 a.m. This was the quickest 'India-Drive' meet so far. 

 

Event flow:

8:00 AM : Plan to drive, destination unknown.
9:30 AM : Meetup
10:00 AM : We were on the ORR.

We had our breakfast at a small udipi hotel and food was amazing.

 

First break before Kalvakurthi.

 

Ecosport posing.

 

Once we reached the Dindi reservoir, we took a diversion from the main road

 

View was just amazing!

 

Greenery, calm and pleasant. We had the entire place to ourselves.

 

We started experimenting with our cameras

 

Then, we decided to drive further. 

 

We drove cautiously as there were a few wet patches. Chances of getting stuck are high.

 

Nature at its best

After exploring the reservoir, we decided to head towards the hill section.
 

Duster waits for the Ecosport. 

 

It's time for some pictures

 

Hills, cars, greenery and beautiful roads, and No rain. A weekend well spent!

 

Mandatory Group picture. From left : Saran, Varun, Karthik, Ashwin and Omkar.

 

We drove up the hill for 2 kilometres and stopped to enjoy the view.

 

We took a short break and discussed about the cars before we started back.

 

We did not drive till Srisailam. We shall soon plan to drive again till Srisailam in July.

 

On our return drive, there was a drastic change in the climate and suddenly it started to pour. 

 

And finally it rains, mission accomplished. Thank you all for joining the drive, Hope to meet you all again soon.

I'm based out of Hyderabad but my work location is at Bangalore. So couldn't meet you guys regularly.

We had a great time and it was nice meeting Ashwin, Omkar and Saran for the first time.

Had an amazing day and I don't have any regrets for missing the India-Pakistan cricket match. 

 

Few pictures from my camera.

@karthikIt was nice meeting you too. Nice clicks! Thank you @Saran for giving me and @Omik a thrilling ride. @varunc I really don't know why I missed test driving the Eco Sport. I loved the ride man. Thank for the drive.And yes ,you owe a treat to Karthik for capturing your Night Fury. Hope you treat him well. @Ranger Thank you for taking your time this weekend Bro.I appreciate it. @Omik Thanks for being my ride buddy this time. I enjoyed the automotive lighting discussions with you and your photography skills are top notch. Keep it Up!

 

So much of positivity in one post  (Probably the influence of Maheswara Pyramid we crossed)

 

PS: For those who are wondering what Maheswara Pyramid is. Maheswara Pyramid is the world's largest Meditational Pyramid.It will very naturally energize and heal people meditating inside it and also the surroundings far and wide. It is 57 Kilometers away from Hyderabad.

Thanks guys for the quick decision in the drive.. that was fun when @Ranger asked how was the climate outside and everyone had one question to ask! Are you still on the bed!!??? 

 

Nice to meet you @karthik.. @Asher good to have you in the ride... @Omik thanks a lot for the info about the lights.. great to have you. Your photography is in different level... kudos bro..

 

@varunc thanks for the ride man.. love the ecosport now... the conversation we had through out the drive was sooo fun.. I think should drive frequently in groups than taking all cars.

I had a great time.

But we missed driving our cars. That road is perfect for  CIVIC.
We shall drive again, some time in the next month.
