Hyderabad to Vikarabad, explore the unknown terrains.
Unknown terrains in two Civic's? Yes, we did few off road stunts too.

 

Total distance : ~80 Kilometers (Gachibowli to Vikarabad)

Road condition: Mixed, few good and bad patches but nothing alarming.


On Friday night Mr.Vishu shared few pictures of his Vikarabad drive, which we have never seen or heard of it.

Me and @Saran decided to recce the place on Saturday morning.
We started at 7AM in the morning, drive was fantastic, roads are filled with fog and surrounded by greenery.
We reached Vikarabad by 8AM, yes we pushed little hard as we started late.

We usually take left turn from Vikarabad and drive towards Ananthagiri.
This time we took right turn from Vikarabad and explored the pristine side of Vikarabad.

Reaching this location is little tricky for the first timers, this road is not logged in Google maps.

I was totally confused about the route, but Saran managed to find the correct route.

There are two different trails, first trail was a dead end after driving for about 1 kilometer

We stopped at the view point clicked few pictures

From the edge of the hill, we saw another trail, which is leading to top of the hill

We decided to drive back and explore other path

We started searching for the second trail

Trail was filled with large stones, some how my low profile tires stayed strong

After many dead ends and u-turns

We decided to drive back to main road and search for the right path

Just after driving a kilometer ahead, We found the second trail

Second trail is more treacherous

DSC_0528-02.jpeg

It is filled with sharp stones

Plus side, more traction. Even in rains!

DSC_0526-02.jpeg

One more dead end on the second trail. U-turns are little tricky as the paths are very narrow

DSC_0516-01.jpeg

This time we took the correct route and reached another obstacle

DSC_0536-02.jpeg

Saran decided to park his car and started guiding me

DSC_0537-02.jpeg

Once we reach the top

DSC_0548-02.jpeg

View is beautiful

Greenery, Wish we had a proper 4x4 with us.

After spending some time, We decided to drive back  home and come back with correct set of Wheels

Thanks to Mr.Vishu to show this amazing place to us. Best place for meetup... it ll be more fun if we had a 4x4 or good GC wheels in hand to explore the entire area.

 

Also a best place for camping.

 

Visit this place anytime to refresh your mind from your 9 hours job.

Wrong car at the right place.

I guess a hatchback can easily do it?

Excellent pictures and great location.

Civic is not meant for such roads.
But appreciate you guys for the urge to explore.



Thank you [emoji4]

Hatchback might struggle due to its less weight the pitch was little slippery too.. best to take 4x4 or any SUV...


Totally agreed that civic is not ment for this place. But we just took it..?

Hatch with good GC, can do it.
But it is not a cake walk.

Now, I feel you can promote yourself to do our next monsoon drive towards the Sahayadris or Western ghats.

 

We shall do it, When the Hyderabad to Solapur is 4-lane is completed.

Brilliant stuff [mention=488]Saran[/mention] and [mention=1]Ranger[/mention]. Your Civics look fabulous. Now, I feel you can promote yourself to do our next monsoon drive towards the Sahayadris or Western ghats. [emoji6]

fantastic share. Where is this place exactly and how can i reach there? What will be the best season to visit there?


Monsoon/post monsoon is the best time to visit.
You need to take right turn from Vikarabad village.
Will share the location details.

I have been looking for trails similar to this, and this is pure gold for me. Never thought my random google search will result in me finding the type of trails i was looking for in my own back yard.
