My Chennai-Goa trip with my BMW F850 GS

We went to IBW next day after late lunch. IBW location was around 80kms from the hotel and took almost 2 hours.

Bhpian rahulkool recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Hotel in Goa was good, we checked in at mid night, the hotel staff were very helpful and polite. Only issue was that there was no kitchen was in the hotel but quite a few restaurants around.

I have only these two photographs of the hotel.

We went to IBW next day after late lunch. IBW location was around 80kms from the hotel and took almost 2 hours.

We stayed there for couple of hours.  At least there was decent amount of parking space, we parked the bikes near the entrance, lots of free space, although people were riding the bikes inside.

Some random click from the IBW.

Next day we started the return journey, plan was to ride as much as possible comfortably and stay somewhere around Chikkamagaluru.

Srikant and Rajaghuru left early morning for Bangalore as they wanted to be back home by same day. Myself and Swami started around 10am from the hotel.

We took the Goa-Karwar-Gokarna-Murdeswar-Kundapura-Sringeri-Chikkamagaluru route. It was very nice and scenic route, around 450kms. Weather was also good throughout, we encountered some rains after kundapura.

The famous Maravanthe beach.

After lunch we finally booked a hotel in Chikkamagaluru.

somewhere after kundapura, we had to stop for tea and to put on the rain covers.

Sringeri town and temple.

Next early morning we started the ride towards Chennai.

Chikkamagaluru Hotel

It was quite foggy for initial few kms.

Stopped for tea before entering Bangalore. Who says only 1300GSA has a place to keep cups.

You can also notice the new windscreen here, another benefit of tall windscreen is that it completely protects the phone, even in pouring rain i could ride with phone mounted and not a single drop of rain on it. I use an old pixel 4a for navigation and it is not water resistant, so earlier i had to remove mobile if it starts raining.

Back on not-so-nice-road.

Had lunch in Bangalore with my cousin, which took quite a while. Upon checking traffic we noticed a huge jam near Hosur, so decided to take a little detour via Rayakottai towards Krishnagiri.

Finally reached home around 10pm, we were riding slow and took few breaks on the way, including light dinner.

Final trip stats. 2125kms.
