Embark on an Unforgettable Bike Journey: Tour de Yelagiri

Discover the beauty of unplanned adventures and the joy of motorcycle riding in Yelagiri hills.

Getting Ready for the Trip

The Planning and Gear: My gear for the day included everything a cyclist needs. I packed a helmet, a raincoat (it started to pour), and a towel. My Oneplus 6T phone was an integral part of the trip, serving as both a charging station and a camera for capturing memories. With its high-resolution camera, it was the perfect companion for this journey.

A Personal Ride

My Bike, My Enjoyment: The ride began from Chennai at around 2:30 AM with my brother. While cycling, I couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of South Indian special recipes, Medhu Vada n Chaaya being one of them. My bike, the R15V3 MOTOGP edition, is an exquisite piece of engineering. It stands out with its powerful split LED lamps, Slipper clutch, and variable valve acquisition system.

Challenges and Scenic Spots

Navigating the Hills: The first leg of the trip was a ride through the hills. Before reaching the heights, we made several pit stops. The fuel strategy was calculated with care, aiming for about 45kmpl on National Highways and 42kmpl in Chennai traffic. By 5:45 AM, we reached the foot of the hills with stunning views. We stopped at every hairpin bend to soak in the scenery and recorded some video blogs.

Top of the Hills: Ascending to the top of the hills provided a breathtaking experience. We entered a garden, marveling at the lush greenery and the hues of the sky. We lay down on the grass and captured some timelapse and slow-motion videos, making the most of the calm atmosphere.

The Route to Jalagamparai

Guided Adventure: Our next destination was Jalagamparai hills. However, we decided to explore the route first. My brother's enthusiasm drove us to follow the Google Maps shortcut, reliving the spirit of the 90s. My bike tasted the various terrains, and we breathed in the fresher air. The journey from Yelagiri to Jalagamparai falls took around 1.30 hours.

Encountering the Locals: Approaching 7 kilometers from the falls, we were stopped by a group of village children, who were fascinated by my baby. They had an offering box for building a Vinayagar statue. The encounter was both amusing and heartwarming. We captured some moments with the children before moving on to the waterfall. Despite the crowds, we decided to explore the nearby hills, reaching the top in 30 minutes for a stunning view of the surrounding mountains and the blue sky.

The Return Journey

Back to Reality: By 2 PM, we were back in Chennai, with a brief stop in Ambur to enjoy the delicious and famous Ambur star briyani before returning home. The long traffic and zipping vehicles in Sriperumbudur left me feeling nostalgic. As I thought about Yelagiri, I realized the true meaning of a perfect and beautiful ending: it's all about the journey itself.
