It was a wonderful trip.
Had a great time.
Would like to thank each and every member of the team for your contribution in making this drive memorable and fun.

Coracle ride was a great experience.

People on the first Coracle - I guess that was the highest ever noise in the history of Hampi. (Cave)?

Tripathi has been a great inspiration.

Sticking on to the speed limits (80 kmph) and making steady progress.
He reached most of the regroup points with in ~5 minutes of timeline.

 

Compass team - 
Coordination was very helpful.(Roger, over and out)

 

Ameo team - 
You guys are an inspiration for the couples.

 

Innova team - 
You guys were super fun.
Zero language barrier. ?

 

Ertiga team - 
Thank you for taking the lead and coordinating with guide.
