00:15.0
00:16.8
shall we move? okay!
00:16.9
00:21.7
Guys! greetings and welcome back to my channel Follow Jack!
00:21.8
00:26.6
now time is 5.30 in the morning and
00:26.7
00:30.6
we started our day 2 in this pleasant early morning atmosphere
00:30.7
00:35.5
Our team's captain Germens told me to
00:35.6
00:38.1
lead the team by myself
00:38.2
00:41.0
now we have left our hotel and
00:41.1
00:45.9
name of this lodge is PV lodge, which is located very near to Sathyamangalam Bus stand
00:46.0
00:50.2
we stayd at this lodge because the price was reasonable
00:50.3
00:55.1
and costed around 1900 Rs for five of us
00:55.2
00:58.3
so we checked out from there after our stay
00:58.4
01:03.2
Now our next target destination from Sathyamangalam will be
01:03.3
01:04.4
'Bannari amman temple'
01:04.5
01:10.1
we need to travel via Sathyamangalam reserve forest to catch Mysore so we can reach Sakleshpur
01:10.2
01:13.5
so this day will be a long one
01:13.6
01:16.7
guys from Chennai already departed and they're posting status since 3 AM
01:16.8
01:20.5
looks like no one had slept, they sent some selfies too
01:20.6
01:22.6
I hope they will arrive safely
01:22.7
01:26.8
and we haven’t had any food so far, so will have some hot drinks like milk and breakfast on the way
01:26.9
01:30.6
and will worship at Bannari amman temple before we leave this place
01:30.7
01:34.5
usually we take one straight road here, but they turned left so
01:34.6
01:39.4
we have no choice but better catch that road via this village
01:39.5
01:44.3
this village has one temple in Kerala's architecture style
01:44.4
01:49.2
it looks like a small home, I can hear both Tamil and Malayalam songs from there
01:49.3
01:51.8
it was awesome
01:51.9
01:56.7
I noticed this petrol bunk in the way so if we filld our tank
01:56.8
02:00.0
we don’t need to worry about fuel, fill the tank Bro!
02:00.1
02:05.8
so our travel distance will be 285 Kms from here and in time it will be 6.37 hours
02:05.9
02:10.7
one guy from Coimbatore will join in our group shortly, he is waiting at Bannari amman's temple
02:10.8
02:14.8
he also told that the traffic is huge there because they opened the Checkpost
02:14.9
02:19.7
there will be more lorries there and
02:19.8
02:21.8
it will take some time to clear
02:31.6
02:36.4
it's nice here at Sathyamangalam forests, you can spot elephants in the morning
02:36.5
02:41.3
it's one of the famous reserve forest in Tamil Nadu
02:41.4
02:46.2
our idea is also the same to spot elephants, since we saw in many videos
02:46.3
02:51.1
the first ones who enters in the morning will spot the elephants
02:51.2
02:56.0
or the ones who enters so lately but it's rare
02:56.1
02:59.4
and I must show some elephants for this video
02:59.5
03:04.3
that will boost our channel's energy
03:04.4
03:07.7
look how many lorries are in the queue, OMG!
03:07.8
03:13.3
if we manage to cruise..., there are many lorries!
03:13.4
03:18.2
I take it for granted, but there are many
03:21.3
03:26.1
if he gives space, then we can move
03:26.2
03:31.0
okay guys, here...
03:31.1
03:35.1
Bannari Amman's temple and we'll worship our God here
03:35.2
03:37.8
I think entrance is over there
03:37.9
03:41.6
Google maps says 10+ minutes so it will be late for sure
03:41.7
03:44.7
this is the entrance and we need to park here
03:44.8
03:49.7
this is Bannari Amman's temple and we need to do worship
03:56.3
04:01.1
This vibe is so good! and look at this brother,
04:01.2
04:03.9
he is giving some cool pose
04:04.0
04:08.8
I think [BACKGROUND NOISE] we'll reach in 3 hours
04:08.9
04:13.7
Traffic is still moving very slowly
04:13.8
04:17.5
Brother is doing Vlog and so as we
04:17.6
04:22.4
and two people are waiting for us from outside, we'll eating pongal and Puliogare
04:22.5
04:27.3
and we'll take one parcel to eat later in the wilds wit elephants!
04:27.4
04:32.2
bro!, shall we move now?
04:32.3
04:37.1
This puliogare is for elephant and we will compromise if it pushes our vehicle
04:37.2
04:40.5
[SPEAKER NOISE] , -What a man!
04:40.6
04:43.0
it's my younger brother Arjun and
04:43.1
04:47.6
our Thirufarm brother with same V-storm
04:47.7
04:53.6
we met in Ladakh last time, -[UNKNOWN WORD]
04:53.7
04:58.5
our Germens will do a turn, -greetings FollowJack
04:58.6
05:00.5
- I struggled a lot to come here
05:00.6
05:04.6
yeah he suffered a lot for this ride...- No issues, I'm here now!
05:04.7
05:07.5
we'll do fun, -3 days will be fun for us!
05:07.6
05:10.8
He joined us from Coimbatore[BACKGROUND NOISE], what's your name? - Gurunath!
05:10.9
05:15.7
So Gurunath came here in a xpulse, we saw you in teashop
05:15.8
05:18.6
and now we're here just now realising you're part of our group
05:18.7
05:23.5
another guy, his name is Naveen, Hi brother we're meeting for the first time in winter ride
05:23.6
05:28.4
our bonding will be legendary, He was scared at the room last night!
05:28.5
05:29.8
-our bonding was great!
05:29.9
05:33.1
he was so scored, -not like that bro!
05:33.2
05:34.3
they're so calm and composed
05:34.4
05:39.2
so sathyamangalam to sakleshpur 256 Kms from here
05:39.3
05:42.9
and the path will be an adventurous one
05:44.0
05:45.8
we have entered at In Sathyamangalam forest
05:45.9
05:50.7
be prepared to witness elephants and I'm feeling so happy
05:50.8
05:55.6
I met those two in the front after the Ladakh trip
05:55.7
05:59.1
I feel same vibe and happiness, just the vehicle is different and
05:59.2
06:01.8
it would be a different story with my vespa
06:01.9
06:07.5
our Thiru brother tackling traffic somehow and rides via taht pillar
06:07.6
06:12.4
the group that started from chennai is now in Krishnagiri
06:12.5
06:16.3
so Anand bro called me and said they're at krishnagiri
06:16.4
06:21.2
looks like they came so quickly in the night
06:21.3
06:24.3
and we need to move for getting synced with them
06:24.4
06:28.5
even though we're slow, we're still in motion
06:28.6
06:32.4
there will be may hairpin bend, we need to be careful
06:32.5
06:37.6
traffic is high, this spot alone is in yellow zone and remaining are in red
06:37.7
06:42.5
this is where hairpin bend starts and from now
06:42.6
06:47.4
we need to be more cautious!, oh, even this lorry is struggling
06:47.5
06:49.8
I'm not sure how many lorries are up there
06:49.9
06:53.6
brother is at the 2nd hair pin bend out of the 27
06:53.7
06:58.5
I'm riding this bike for the first time in hills, so new experience
06:58.6
07:02.9
look at there, brother is vibing!
07:08.7
07:13.1
it will be helpful for the lorries if you gave some space on road for them
07:13.2
07:18.0
look how fare they moved on the right side!
07:18.1
07:22.9
oh!, we need to wait for sometime actually
07:23.0
07:27.8
everyone is coming from rightside only for turning
07:27.9
07:32.7
and how we can ride if they come like this?!
07:32.8
07:37.6
OMG! look here, road looks like scribbled in sketch pen
07:37.7
07:41.4
like a small baby's scribble on notebook
07:41.5
07:44.4
now we're at 7th hair pin bend out of the 27
07:44.5
07:49.3
we're at rightside and leaving some space for oncoming vehicles, we're at the redspot
07:49.4
07:54.2
so we need to adjust like this
07:54.3
07:59.1
all vehicles around here are the ones which stayed overnight here
07:59.2
08:04.0
they must parked here and slept in their vehicles until they opened the checkpost
08:04.1
08:07.1
now it's clearing, I saw many bikers too
08:07.2
08:12.0
this process sill make our plans delayed for 30 minutes
08:12.1
08:16.9
this looks like so misty like how Vadivelu describes in Aadhavan movie
08:17.0
08:18.7
this looks so beautiful and
08:18.8
08:23.6
and we'll have visibility only if vehicles uses yellow light
08:23.7
08:28.5
we also have that, it's so misty and my hands got frostbite
08:28.6
08:33.4
I think this is the reason why they insist us to arrive at 6
08:33.5
08:36.5
My camera suddenly stopped working while overtaking a lorry
08:36.6
08:41.4
vehicles will stopped at the bends like this
08:45.0
08:49.8
we're at another red zone, if cross this zone
08:49.9
08:54.7
the road will be free, as you can see there’s less visibility of the lorry even though I out fog lamps on
08:55.6
09:02.4
okay this will give visibility, we now reached the yellow zone!
09:02.5
09:07.3
and from now we'll ride on slopes only, then we can reach Mysore
09:07.4
09:11.6
and we chosed this road for this scenery, otherwise
09:11.7
09:14.3
we will take Krishnagiri and Bangalore route
09:14.4
09:16.4
it will give ultimate experience
09:16.5
09:20.6
we need to slow down and Germens is flying as usual!
09:20.7
09:25.5
Hey!, we saw the elephants! My dear cuties
09:25.6
09:30.4
they're eating cutely and no one should stop here
09:30.5
09:35.3
they both looked cute, Do you noticed elephants?
09:35.4
09:40.2
[SPEAKER NOISE] Finally we saw the elephants
09:40.3
09:45.1
we planned 6.30 arrival for this only and time is 8.15 AM now
09:50.7
09:54.9
we took a tea break for 1.30 hours
09:55.0
09:59.8
Germens had a dog bite and doc advised him to get vaccinated
09:59.9
10:04.7
he went to the local public hospital and got his vaccination
10:04.8
10:09.6
look babies are playing, consider this as we're entering to their home
10:09.7
10:14.5
welcome to Karnataka state and we officially entered
10:14.6
10:18.5
in 105 Kms Mysore will arrive and
10:18.6
10:23.4
will have aa amazing lunch over there
10:23.5
10:26.8
our next target is Lunch at Mysore
10:26.9
10:30.0
if we maintained the speed we can stand and ride
10:30.1
10:35.5
and since it's a off-road bike it would be a better option
10:35.6
10:40.4
ah, it's superb to ride while standing
10:40.5
10:45.3
and if they raised handle bar a bit it would have been better, it's a nice view
10:45.4
10:50.2
can we ride like this till Karnataka?!
10:50.3
10:55.1
it would be awesome, Guru anna is from Coimbatore his Xpulse setup looks cool
10:55.2
11:00.0
his setup looks neat and clean
11:00.1
11:04.9
I'm seeing Xpulse like this for the first time, Kudos to him
11:05.0
11:09.8
next sights in our videos are wild cattele and cows
11:09.9
11:14.7
Buffaloes are also running, a usual sight at karnataka
11:14.8
11:18.3
it looks like a different breed
11:18.4
11:23.2
till TN border it was so green, and now it looks very much dry
11:23.3
11:28.1
can you see the diffrence, we had mist and green sceneries
11:28.2
11:33.0
look here and full of dry trees like eucalyptus
11:33.1
11:37.9
and that side contains bamboo trees, it's so dry and road is also empty
11:38.0
11:40.0
I can see three bikers on the front, can’t guess where they're from?
11:40.1
11:44.9
All are Pondicherry Registration bikes I can tell from the registration numbers
11:45.0
11:47.8
all three are from Pondy to Karnataka in
11:47.9
11:52.7
SD adventure and 2 classic 350s
11:56.6
12:01.4
our exact location is [UNKNOWN WORD]
12:01.5
12:06.3
we're all having butter dosa
12:06.4
12:11.2
our riders are so active and enjoying, they tell stories
12:11.3
12:16.1
even while riding! how long Hassan is from here?
12:16.2
12:19.5
- 5 hours from here
12:19.6
12:24.4
so it will be 5 hours to reach our next target
12:24.5
12:28.2
we'll leave after eating
12:28.3
12:31.6
this is the hotel we had our break
12:31.7
12:36.5
both the dosa and sambar had a sweet flavour
12:36.6
12:41.4
Karnataka's recipe will have that sweet taste always
12:41.5
12:46.3
we're heading towards Hassan after having butter dosa
12:46.4
12:51.2
actually we have two routes and our Guru brother
12:51.3
12:56.1
Chosen this path since the road will be fine
12:56.2
13:01.0
he also said we'll reach earlier, so we shosed this
13:01.1
13:05.9
it shows 3 hours and I'm not sure about the scenario weather it's forest or road only
13:06.0
13:10.8
110 ah! [BACKGROUND NOISE]
13:10.9
13:15.7
Germens told us to maintain at 110 Kmph
13:15.8
13:20.6
and it will sync with their arrival
13:27.3
13:32.1
this is the second railway track, he is having that green and red flag
13:32.2
13:37.0
I guess it's closing, oh they're doing maintenance, Patch work!
13:37.1
13:41.9
I saw a lake like scene, there was water body on both side of the road
13:42.0
13:46.8
it was so nice to see many lotus blooming on the lake
13:46.9
13:51.7
but sun is so much scorching here, that's the only issue
13:51.8
13:56.6
traffic is so high due to railway crossing, I guess we're at main town
13:56.7
14:01.5
I'm super exhausted and bike shows heat
14:01.6
14:06.4
bro's bum is in pain! I too facing that but
14:06.5
14:08.8
thanks to silocon gel, no issues for me
14:08.9
14:14.2
cars are not following rules, so traffi jam occurs, it's problematic for us
14:14.3
14:19.1
oh Police entry!, we need to take right
14:19.2
14:24.0
stop there don’t rush!, thanks sir!
14:31.4
14:36.2
finally we're at Mysore and my bucket list for this place
14:36.3
14:41.1
contains visiting Mysore palace and Chamundeeshwari temple
14:41.2
14:46.0
maybe next time in my visit I'll hault here to visit both
14:46.1
14:50.9
while taking tea break at local shop
14:51.0
14:55.8
we shocked and smiled at one thing, which you're currently seeing
14:55.9
15:00.7
this bullock is carrying a big load of sugarcane on this main road
15:00.8
15:05.6
look how effortlessly he is controlling it, he is simply standing!
15:05.7
15:10.5
hey!....[SPEAKER NOISE][BACKGROUND NOISE]
15:10.6
15:15.4
he is in offroad mode, hey look there! a lorry is coming!
15:15.5
15:20.3
did he turned hazard light?...
15:20.4
15:25.2
for a change my brother is riding my bike for now
15:25.3
15:30.1
bro!, save me moment for me!
15:30.2
15:35.0
I just now realise how difficult for pillions, I'm in an elevated position
15:35.1
15:39.9
and brother's duty of navigation is assigned to us now
15:40.0
15:44.8
now I'm so elevated that my height is equal to the bus!
15:44.9
15:49.7
when he was telling he felt sleepy, I can't understand that
15:49.8
15:54.6
but now I can feel the comfort while sitting in pillion's seat
15:54.7
15:59.5
but it's not advised to sleep while riding, so I switched to pilot seat from copilot's seat
15:59.6
16:04.4
after a long day, we have reached Hassan!
16:04.5
16:09.3
now I have 2 Kms target to reach restaurant suggested by Guru bro
16:09.4
16:14.2
we'll have food now! it's an achievement for us!
16:14.3
16:19.1
this is the Hassan highway were people from chennai will join
16:19.2
16:22.7
they had food at some point, look here, in just few more time
16:24.1
16:28.9
I guess it's in 500 mts, I hope that's the hotel
16:29.0
16:33.8
Germens, Naveen and Thirufarm bro will wait for us there
16:33.9
16:38.7
this is indhraprasad and that's anagha grand
16:38.8
16:42.1
I'm not sure where they're waiting
16:42.2
16:47.0
Hotel Anaga grand, I'll never forget this hotel's name
16:47.1
16:50.8
they made us to wait for 1hour for just a curd rice
16:50.9
16:55.7
we planned to leave after eating the dishes served early, but they had other plans
16:55.8
17:00.6
while we're waiting for curd rice we ordered 3 different starters
17:00.7
17:05.5
they made us wait for 45 minutes just to get a curd rice!
17:05.6
17:10.4
our number plate team went ahead and Anand bro's who has a KTM is
17:10.5
17:15.3
waiting for us with his team
17:15.4
17:20.2
I'll tell the hotel's name so don't order curd rice here or you'll wait for 45 minutes
17:20.3
17:25.1
we finished the sides before getting the main dish, that much delay!
17:25.2
17:28.4
Homestay, that's the resort's name we booked
17:28.5
17:33.3
we need to travel 83 Kms for 2 hours to reach that place, our journey in highway continues
17:33.4
17:38.2
my bucket list has Nepal and Bhutan
17:38.3
17:43.1
I'll fullfill that with either Vikram or Shasha
17:43.2
17:48.0
how are you? doing well? - Greetings!

18:04.2
18:09.0

18:09.1
18:13.9
so their warm welcome after waiting for us made me felt so happy!
18:14.0
18:18.8
we had a small chit-chat about our journey
18:18.9
