K for Kerala and Karizma!

Kerala - God's own country eluded me time and again, i never seemed to have time to visit this much advertised state. So it all started after goa ride when few riders from goa meet suggested that we do a long stretched out chillax ride some where in december end. Then towards the fag end of november, things started to fall in place and we ended up choosing kerala as our destination. Since most of the guys were not able to get leaves, we planned to start off with a big group and ride towards munnar and from there two of us would move on to interior kerala for whole week. Tour we did! it was my first taste of Kerala and i got hooked! This is my longest ride till date!

First the stats:
Trip duration: 23rd Dec 06 (Saturday) till 31st Dec 06 (Sunday)Riders: Me and Parvez Shah

Retrospection of the trip: Kerala is truly god's own country, not a marketing hype and Karizma rocks in ghats!
