Day 2 of 4, Post 2

Ok so… A major ‘popat’ happened at that wildlife sanctuary, went in, covered half the route of 20 Kms, and all was hunky dory, so turned back, nothing, went back in deeper, still nothing…spent almost 2 hours in there, but no fog, no nothing…. !!
Did find a small signboard leading to a temple 1 km deep into the woods.. A super steep mountain terrain covered in slush and dry leaves… So I thought, maybe here is my adventure, started the ascent in my bike, went 100 meters, got scared (of the terrain) and turned back to the main road. Then again thought, what the heck, might as well… Went back on that track, covered 500 meters this time, but it was way way too much for even a 4 x 4.. So turned back with great difficulty and started the downhill roll… Was very difficult handling the bike during this time ! Tougher than the climb…
Anyway, reached the main road, happy about something at least on that stretch… You will see this terrain in the picture… Shows covered with leaves but it’s what under the leaves that’s terrifying… Slush and big rolly boulders, leading to zero traction on the bike.
