Western Coastal ride [part-07]

Continuation of my previous post Western Coastal ride [part-06]

Dec 31:  Woke up early morning and started arranging the luggage’s in the car as we are on our return journey which is going to be a longest drive of 1800kms.

Most people returning from holiday feel that the journey home passes by much quicker than the outward leg. Keeping this in mind my fellowman with lots of hopes to have a peaceful dinner at home on new year i.e Jan 1st started driving back home we set off on the final leg of our journey. From veraval, Gujarat to Bangalore.

Passed via The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary where chances of spotting a Lion.

Road entering to the forest. The risk here is we were given only 50minutes to exit through the other side of the forest. If not we will end up paying a penalty of 500rs for every 1o minutes.

Peacocks and Deers… We are here not to spot you…  Anyways…

  1. Fantastic… How about taking a particular trip – probably two days – and write everything in details ? Your writing has a depth of taking the reader into the ‘live’ display of what happened. BEAUTIFUL. Keep it up.

  2. Wonderful series Jo! Very well written. Very nice to read the minute details about the palces.. like two vada and one idly, cheating pundits 😛
    Keep up the good work!! Travel a lot and bring us more stories!!
