Re: India My India - Ride
Section is absolutely correct, don't worry. Aab log padne doh

Edit : Gosh....Prabhu, this will take some time. Can you do something regarding the size of the pics? They are very small and is not doing justice to wonderful vistas.

Prabhu, the section is correct.
But we all need quite a bit of time to go through what is a kinda BIG mother trip!

Re: India My India - Ride
Prabhu is one of those hard core tourers with trips every weekend.We will get plenty of rich travelogues from south India in days to come.
He is also one of those who puts ride plans into actions and fits into BCMT.I am a big fan of his travelogues

A trip to himalaya immediately followed by a leh ride is not very common for person with base in bangalore

Ofcourse, we took a lot of information from J trail. Esp information about little rann. Else we would ve ended up in Rann of Katch itself.

Finally done with reading the log!
It was very reminiscent of the J trail, and now that it has been said, this very fact puts this in a special league!

Kudos!!

Re: India My India - Ride
That was a big story.. We planned to reach delhi from Jodhpur via Jaipur.. but then after hearing to ppl in Jodhpur we felt Jaisalmar is worth a visit.. so did the second segment in clockwise direction
