Always loved India for it's beautiful people, mentality, culture, history, nature, weather, almost anything! So I've been there quite a few times already but since the last time was over 7 years ago it was about time to go and visit a new part of this wonderful country again, we chose to take the far south this time
Started off in the southernmost city of Trivandrum in the state of Kerala, a quiet and green state with a long and lovely coastline. Rickshaw city tour!
then into the Nilgiri mountains heading for the town of Thekkady, gate to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
Already you find wonderful tea plantations along the way
Took the time for trekking and rafting the nature reserve
Bear was here
Amazing views, unique as well after the British placed a dam in the forest (over 100 years ago) to keep the water in the hills to irrigate the tea plantations
Saw several groups of wild elephants
and much more
over to the city of Madurai (Tamil Nadu) to visit one of the largest temple complexes worldwide, the Sri Meenakshi
ah that feels safe
photobombing Indian style
sightseeing Madurai
Gandhi museum
The usual traffic challenges
And also doing something for the second time, 'when in Rome...' Nilgiri Mountain Railway to Ooty
with fresh elephant dung
and monkeys everywhere
stayed in a villa from the colonial days in Ooty
finally, over to the more central state of Goa to meet old friends, and tour North Goa by motorbike. And the weather was fabulous on all days!

Beautiful! I wish..
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
