I have uploaded new GPS tracks of the trip and they are now available under the category - “GPS Tracks“.

I am still in the process of uploading more tracks. Some of the tracks are not available. Few times the battery went low and few times I donno what happened

On 30th we started from Cochin. We joined NH-17 in about 30 minutes. NH-17 is a very narrow highway dotted all along by numerous towns and cities. The Kerala stretch is crowded by people and buses. Though the distance was not very long, I could average at about 40km The karnataka portion of the highway is less congested and wider. Goan part is as beautiful as Kerala’s a and is full of ghat section. Maharastrian part is less green but equally enjoyable. 65% of NH-17 is full of ghats.Ghats can slow you down a lot. So one must be careful while planning routes through NH-17

We traveled for 3 days and about 1200km on this highway. We final fare good bye to NH17 near Poladpur to join NH4 via Mahabaleshwar.

Today when was talking to Binayak, my colleague at Arghyam, about ‘Motorcycle Diaries‘ and Inca Civilization, he asked me to visit Lothal. I immediately altered my route to have a look at one of the ancient civilizations of the world - Indus Valley Civilization. I would visit Lothal, a 4500 years old city, on my way from Ahmedabad to Bhuj.
