Disclaimer This travelog will be an extended one and I want to believe that I am viewed as a typical individual! I could carve out an opportunity on an end of the week to complete this travelog as I’m on steady travel pretty much consistently because of my own and social responsibilities. I have clicked a couple of pics from these mammoth drives as I had an exceptionally basic telephone and I like to keep my encounters crude and genuine as well as re-live them by describing here. A large portion of you may be know about the mods and the form I’ve done on my vehicle, yet I additionally prefer to effectively utilize every one of the mods on the vehicle by driving it around as well
An unhealthy work-life balance make Jithin a dull man, right! Indeed, this man(yours genuinely) has been voyaging like insane for quite a while however in 2022, The Red Winged serpent took him to puts he had just recorded on a piece of paper while moving on from School on a cruiser was his fantasy. Such ventures are as yet a fantasy for some and the All-powerful has favored me with great wellbeing and adequate chances to investigate the planet. Indeed, the spot is practically the guide of India. To finish it off 80% of the drive was solo(Even on the off chance that companions have went with me on this excursion, I’ll be the one in the driver’s seat and to talk as not all are know about Hindi). I’ve made insane distances and never felt exhausted notwithstanding the geological changes and language barriers(I love to learn various dialects as that is a significant extension for manufacturing a few truly incredible bonds with individuals). Besides I was constantly disposed to Geology as a kid and cherished noticing guides and chart books.
Obviously, I have a couple of additional states forthcoming to visit and no one has at any point finished reading up the whole prospectus for a test right. So I needed to leave out a couple of spots so I can travel those spots with my future better half, else I’ll be exhausted by saying I’ve seen practically every one of the spots in India and she will give me a kicking too. Furthermore when I travel abroad later on I need to be in a situation to tell that indeed, I’ve been across India and I can understand the variety it offers. To encounter that variety, there’s nothing better compared to a street trip(rail too is fine) as it gives you the independence and adaptability to do anything you desire, any place you need! The travelogs in group bhp were part of the way a motivation for me to do such drives, and I needed to execute such drives all alone. I could recollect just a portion of the spots of stay or food as it has been over a year since I got back from these excursions.
Some of you could think why I’m not posting a lot on Instagram or I might have been a YouTuber. I need to partake in the present and live at the time at that spot and not be moved by organizing videos(no offense to the Youtubers or Instagrammers) and there are numerous who do it for the purpose of living and I regard their decision. Like I referenced before, I maintain that my encounters should be perused and I have reported this for my future reference. And obviously, y’all know about the eventual outcomes of the spot after one powerhouse goes to a specific spot or café for instance. I have confidence in verbal exchange encounters. Furthermore I allude a lot to no movement discussion too so I can get a legitimate vibe of going all alone.
Some could try and figure in the wake of perusing this travelog, how in the world does this person pull it off! I’ll give somewhat of a foundation for the equivalent. In the year 2008( I was in class 7) and Volvo transports were the prevailing fashion in Bangalore in those days. I should watch a film in Inox(this also was a prevailing fashion in those days) with my companions yet for reasons unknown, my companions dumped the film plan. I took a transport pass and began investigating the city step by step alone. In those days in a single day, I went from Glorious to Kadugodi, then, at that point, Great in a similar Volvo. Again from Glorious to Nelamangala and back in a similar transport and then, at that point, from Lofty to Attibele to Silk Board to my territory close to Kalyan Nagar. Full paisa vasool of that pass(I actually recollect it was 150 Rs for the Vajra day pass and that itself was expensive) as well as investigated the then places of interest, for example, Isckon and the preferences and the rest is history! There are a few additional crazy accounts of mine yet I think I’ll keep that a secret(Take a theory: Varaanam Aayirram-motivated scene, notwithstanding, I went inside India itself during school days).
In addition, why even bother with paying an EMI on the vehicle when it’s not put to as expected use. I recall a colloquialism too: “The more miles a vehicle is driven, its worth deteriorates however the encounters of that singular expansion in esteem”. Furthermore for my situation, the vehicle and encounters are massive. My folks have generally approved of my movement for however long I’m working and procuring for myself since I recollect that my folks resembled you’re allowed to do anything you desire after you begin acquiring and I began living my fantasy individually as we never understand what the future holds for us the following day. We can bring in cash in more than one way however the securities with individuals and the recollections are extremely valuable, no measure of cash can get the job done that. My Movements may be a piece outrageous without prior warning, style of movement is a piece unique and I don’t click an excessive number of pics too, as I generally prefer to recount a story. Kindly read it with a receptive outlook and viewpoint. I’m sharing my own viewpoint and learnings from the excursion here, so sympathetically hold on for the extended periods of driving and hopping state by state. I love to drive so much since I felt associated with a vehicle, I was denied of driving, an absence of a vehicle for the underlying 4-5 years after I procured my permit. I then chose, that one day I would drive across the world in my own vehicle and begin with the nation of origin first! My own best has been 1200kms in 14 hours from Bangalore to Nagpur, 1000 kms in 11 hours(Bangalore-Shirdi).
I’m truly thankful to every one of my companions, colleagues, family, and the Indian Army(at the boundaries) for aiding me on such insane drives! These drives are a confirmation and a badge of appreciation to the movement, auto local area, and Passage, you have provided me with a great deal of firsts in my day to day existence! For improving my life right from my most memorable trip to visit the factory(partly supported by Portage!) to my first relationship(the young lady asked me out seeing my movement stories, presently back to being joyfully single), my most memorable job(I described how I got the Main EcoSport and the crosscountry drive), the principal vehicle I sat in(A 1998 Passage Escort 1.8D), my most memorable own car(My Red Winged serpent) and much more, particularly extraordinary companions who are family inside as well as outside the Bhpian people group. Without it I would have still been without a character and reason in my life.
The Blue EcoSport has taken me to another country,(An impromptu drive: Bangalore to Bhutan in an EcoSport) the Red caused me to investigate the country exhaustively. I’ll zero in additional on the movements with the Red Winged serpent and I’ve parted the Container India Crash into two sections:
Section 1. Bangalore – Leh-Bangalore (7,800 kms): This was during June-July 2022
Section 2. Bangalore – North East(Upto Tawang)- Bangalore(9,800 kms): This was during Oct-Nov 2022.
Practically the entirety of my excursions will have a circumlocutory course so there is a few assortment and rush while voyaging. I have consolidated the data here as much as possibe and I have passed on out clearing up about spots or things for do as numerous Bhpians or research Ammayi have shared information on these. I’ll be sharing just my encounters here.
P.S.: Both were spontaneous excursions. I simply void my storeroom into the vehicle’s boot and off we go!

Day 1: The Random Rush(21 June 2022)
Distance Driven: 1,087 km(Bangalore-Nagpur)
Time Taken: 15h 38m
Following a monotonous day’s worth of effort and gatherings, I was thinking I hadn’t driven a lot of this current year and I generally needed to head to each place in the nation and I was exhausted of driving inside South India, so I just purged my storage room into the vehicle’s boot and I set off on the expressway with the compass pointing towards North on the Speedo. I normally convey a play club, a compact inverter(so that I can work from the actual vehicle) tire inflator, and fix unit and a water can. Also a muesli to nibble up as I don’t favor handled snacks a lot.
Set off from home at 12 PM and arrived at Hyderabad by 7 am. Collided with a companion’s PG for a couple of hours to get a few rest and met an individual EcoSport proprietor, had a rich lunch(of course Biryani!) at Pista house and I proceeded with my excursion towards Nagpur by 3.30 PM. The general drive for this stretch is predictable, however I like the save woods stretch after Adilabad which wants to drive in a tremendous scope of foliage. This was whenever I first was navigating past the Deccan Level via vehicle and I esteemed driving each and every km of my drive. Energy levels were very high and I used to have some time off after each 150-200km or 2 hrs 30 min.
Booked a stay close to Ganeshpeth in Nagpur and I tapped out by 10.30 and finished some work till 12 am (I was working in night shift during 2022). All I had believed was I’d arrive at Delhi and then let the guiding choose the heading for me.

Time Taken: 16h 10m
Gotten going a piece late from Nagpur by 10 am subsequent to eating at Haldirams, purchasing the OG Nagpur orange for the outing, and inside no time I arrived at Pench Public Park. What flabbergasted me was how the streets are worked over a woodland in this way guaranteeing bother free development of vehicles above and creatures beneath the scaffold. I was smiling wide as can be as the stretches were picturesque however the locale is bone-dry. Was gunning the vehicle down like I was driving on a track and the vehicle was adhering to the street like a rail!
