Hello folks, this was a long pending travelogue.
Once i got my car, me and 2 of my friends (our fellow member vvkalyan was also present) who accompanied me to my hometown planned to visit Ooty, which is pretty near from my home (About 95 KMs).
The ODO reading was just 400 KMs. And thats the reason why the SE recommended not to drive in hill stations till 1000 Kms mark is acheived.
Petrol was already filled (Since i got my delivery with full tank petrol). So, we went on the first so called trip with my beast.
The Route: Coonoor Ghat (National Highway 67)
We started our journey by 7 AM and had a hefty breakfast in a hotel near my place.
There was a bit of traffic untill Mettupalayam (The foothill town of Ooty). Once we reached near the ghat road, we parked the car in Kallar (Just before the ghat road begins) and decided to have a tender coconut. But, we were scared away by Monkeys. So, we decided to push forward.
The road was well laid and was a good stretch to drive on. Since we took this trip in January end, i presume that the roads were prepared well for the Ooty season (Starts in March).
We took a break for photo shoot in the 3rd hair pin bend. Here are few pics from the first break:
