Random Scribbling: Monsoon drive through Kuduremukh Ghats

This video was shot during the up-hilling of Kuduremukh ghats on our way to Shringeri. In middle of ghat section, we had small break near one of the water springs and later my father offered to drive the car. It's time for me to grab some video of driving through lush green western ghats ;-). I took many videos but compiled them to fit one of my favorite music :-). The road was very beautiful and well paved but narrow from Kerekatte cross to Shringeri (about 30kms). It takes lot of time to drive through these sections due to up-hilling, steep curves and blind spots. One needs to honk at each and every curve as a measure of safety. Also the road edges are high from ground level which makes it impossible to slip down the road. Except for well paved road, the stretch looks like village road despite being National Highway. Nevertheless, if you are watchful, everything is smooth. Our journey was really smooth mainly due to the powerful pull of CRDi engines and well paved roads (we easily could negotiate uphill in 3rd gear). Watch out for rushing tankers and gas laden trucks along curves. There was heavy rains too during return journey. At that time, I was driving and hence no videos of the same. Enjoy the virtual drive through gorgeous western ghats.

With full respect to beautiful music "Minded Constellation" from German musician Dirk Hoffman codenamed Goaschuld, here is the drive video.
Great chill music and perfect for monsoon drives ;-).
