LEG 3-9 => 2nd Jan'2013 -> 2400KMS
-> Ride down South of India along the Arabian Sea Coast:
Gandhinagar to Kanyakumari.
My Current Location :)
This Leg of my Explore India Winter Ride, 2012-13 is quite special for me, firstly because the Southern part of India comprises of my good old friends from Mumbai to Kerala who were my co-riders in our Royal Enfield tour of Nepal & Bhutan. Secondly I had always fancied a long coast ride and this couldn't any longer: 5000Kms (to&fro Gandhinagar-Kanyakumari). Thirdly the cuisine attracts me to the Southern region quite a lot and for a foodie like me, its eat unto death ;)
Major tentative stop-overs in this Leg 3-9 are Daman, Mumbai, Goa, Shimoga, Kannur, Kochi, Kottayam, Alapuzzha, Kanyakumari, etc etc :)

5th of Jan'2013 : my third day in Mumbai.
Mumbai is truly the city of dreams, a destination for achievers ! The natural beauty of the geographic location coupled with the calm and welcoming nature of Mumbaikars is just awesome and cannot be described in words. One has to be there on the streets of Mumbai to soak into the aura and charm of this historic city and experience this feeling first hand :)

Mumbai is one marvellous metropolitan city to spend the evening along the Arabian Coast.
Having fun with my rider-friends along the Marine Drive (near Wankhede Stadium), Mumbai...
The evening becomes more memorable if you are not living solo ;) college youngsters testing compatibility for a lifetime update at the Marine Drive, Mumbai :)
Deciding where to party next ... in the second pic above L to R : Mr. Chandan, Mr. Gaurav Kale & Me :)
The view along and across the Gateway of India, Mumbai does make one feel to ride a yatch.
Ride Updates during the duration of this Leg shall continue at my Google+ profile... and would also try to update this page with stories and pics as well :)
