Kodachadri climb in 40 mins at night

On Day 2 we all woke up around 7. freshened up, settled the bills and started our journey towards Kollur. We inquired about the route to the locals and gpt
and got many diffrnt options.. via shingere via udupi via karkal etc etc.. so atlast we decided to go
via kudremukhe and then ask the locals for route.. Man Kudremukhe was 1 hell of a place... full greenaries... awesome roads and excellent twisties... Jus let the pics speak...

Then we reached balahoje(not sure of spelling) and had breakfst.. then after speaking to a local driver he giuded us thru local roads via hebri and then kollur.. we had mixed roads.. some good and some not good..
butt all in all it saved us some time... and we reached Kollur by 6.. Venu was tired, and Ajay was a bit(too) caring about his bike so both decided to saty at kollur for the night.
Then an Idea flashed let they both hire a jeep and I would come on my bike.. yup the plan was made.. we hired the jeep packed food at a 22km mark and then started to Kodachadri.. Kodachadri is about ~40km from Kollur with 25km off good roads.. amd I was ahead of the jeep.
Then the driver asked me to come behind the jeep.. I obeyed him with a bit of hasitation...

Then the real ride started the time was aout 6:30 and the place was pitch dark... initially the drive was ok.. I felt its nothing.. then after that the real thing started... the path was full of stones and deep holes every where... I felt it diffcult to be behind the jeep.. the jeep attimes came back as ir couldnt climb on the curves at times and was constantly rolling the stones towards me...
After a few turns The fog started.. after a couple of mins my visibility reduce to jus 1 m... then dhoom I was about to ride on a 5 feet deep hole made by the running waters... I hurried to avoid it.. Then I felt my clutch plates were over heated and it became too soft... Laid the bike on the ground and waited for help as If I try and fail the bike be stuck in the hole... Ajay got down from the jeep and came for
help.. but still we couldnt puch it up.. so started the bike and pushed it up with its own torque and it easied out of the hole.. then I removed my helmet and gloves too.. and good the visibility incerased. the Hlmet was increasing the fog on the my specs...
then all it was a easy ride for me... I learnt the curves.. for a right I should be on extreme left and viceversa.. and all was easy...

we reached the top.. and then spoke to Ajay and Venu and got to know about the Driver and the Jeep.. the Jeep was a 4 wheel drive and was damm new.. jus 900 km on its odo.. the driver has 20 yrs of exp riding on tat path... He boosted about him to them.. ;0)

We checked to the lodge had food. I and Ajay spoke for a while standing outside the lodge.. Then I checked my clutch it was alright..
then went in.. had a few more food and slpet for the night..
