3000 kms. 8 days. 4 states. 2 guys. 2 bikes. 1 helluva journey.
So I could not make it to Kanyakumari from Pune on this trip. Not everyone quits their jobs just because their company did not give them leave you know? 
But that does not take anything away from the fact that this trip is going to be one helluva experience. A 3000+ kilometre ride is no joke. Nor is it gonna be child’s play.
| Date | Day | Where we will be starting from |
|---|---|---|
| 28-Sep | Mon | Pune |
| 29-Sep | Tues | Goa |
| 30-Sep | Wed | Chikmangalur |
| 1-Oct | Thurs | Coimbatore |
| 2-Oct | Fri | Madurai |
| 3-Oct | Saturday | Rameshwaram |
| 4-Oct | Sunday | Bengaluru |
| 5-Oct | Monday | Bengaluru |
| 6-Oct | Monday | Pune |
What do we expect to see on this trip? South India in all its splendour. And ugliness. Majestic hair-pin bends. Ghost-towns. Wild-life sanctuaries. Coffee plantations. Insanely huge temples.
I will tell you all about it, if I do not get trampled by the wild elephants, mauled by the tigers and panthers and leopards or killed by the sandalwood dacoits. Or get into horrible accidents with drunk drivers. Or potatoes.
P.S. I will post regular updates on twitter. Or will try to.

Dude…shouldn’t you give it a little more time than 8 days? For e.g. Pune to Goa on a bike in 1 day cannot be good for u…esp ur groins
multiply that kind of distance coverage over 8 days and your crotch is gonna be really numb for the rest of your life…
