Some old trips - Pondicherry July 2005
There was this realization that some of the trips I made have not been written about or the photos have not been uploaded. Since I feel the need to file these pictures for my own sake as well, I would file these in quick succession.
In July 2005 we made a trip to Pondicherry - a union territory on the eastern coast of India. The plan was born when 4 travel-mates decided to bike down to someplace - Rahul, Prakash, Sidda and myself. After Pondi was picked up we were soon joined by 3 more - Rajesh who worked with Sidda and two of Rahul's friends- Ajith and Laijo. There were some plans made before the trip like (a) we would start early and (b) arrangements for stay at Pondi.
This is one of my favourite trips for many reasons. I enjoyed every moment on my bike. I loved the energy and like-mindedness of all of us. I enjoyed the walk through the streets in Pondi, the boating through the mangrove forests at Pichavaram, bathing in deep sea and the trip in the fishermen's fibre boats. And thank God, some of best travel snaps I took came from this trip, a real encouragement for someone who just picked up the habit of taking pictures.
A total distance of 304 kilometers from Bangalore, beautiful and good country-side roads and a great place to hang out with friends. I have posted the snaps here. Take a look and let me know if you just planned to visit Pondi.
