This meet-up was planned just 2 weeks ago and our excitement towards meeting all the new India-Drive men started to prevail. Well, it had finally happened on a Sunday i.e. 18th September-2016 which turned out to be more fun than what we have anticipated. Usually these last minute plans go haywire, but not with these able-handed guys:clap:. Here's a short report on how the day went.After those traditional introductions and pleasantries, as the clock swept 9:00 a.m. everyone of us were set to rip the tracks laid open to us

This is how we show up down the highway along the convoy :photo:

Here is something that you would get used to while driving in a convoy with 'India-Drive' - That's how you space up with the car ahead of yours.:)

Just another feather in our collective cap :D

Finally a view of the majestic castle which is one of those recent builts carrying an age old architecture built with granite blocks in total.

This beautiful bridge having a mini lake bed beneath paved our way towards the Castle's entrance from the main gate

When the gate started to drop down open for us to welcome after a loud cheer :D

Hi Gowtham and Sagar,

It is well-written with mesmerizing pics :)

We see so much stress, negativity and tiredness in our routine life that it is rejuvenating and refreshing to have these kinda drives and fun with like minded people.

I think this report with amazing visuals is going to be a great motivation for many others to visit Hidden Castle.

Keep up the good work guys.
