Trip to Grand Canyon without the need of USA Visa #GrandCanyon #ReClaimYourLife

-

 You might have seen a lot of photos on social media where people posing at Grand canyon, which may crave you to go for it.



It's not easy to get a USA tourism visa, so what if I told you that you can visit Grand Canyon without applying for a USA visa? Yes, you heard me right. All you need is 2 days, hot wheels, and few cameras to capture those amazing moments. If you are still confused, then let me give you a virtual tour of this majestic landscape.

The Desi version of Grand Canyon is situated at Gandikota village, which is around 6 hours drive from Bangalore.  You can follow either route from Kardi (which has bad road conditions) or from Anandpur (which has much better roads, though 70 KM extra), I would suggest taking the latter on.


We follow the safari's mantra to #ReClaimLife by planning this road trip of 650KM in 1 day. The machine behind the new Tata Safari logo won't disappoint you, as it just goes on and on without any complaints.


We started around 6 AM on Sunday morning and had a pitstop for breakfast at Swagat Delicacy, don't miss the davangree dosa and few unexpected visitors near the window as they have pet turkeys.


Moving on, we reached the destination around 12:30 Noon. It was a sunny day and we were baked within 1 hour :D This didn't stop us from doing the hike to the endpoints and taking all memories back home.


As usual, I made a silly mistake this time as forgot to take connecting wire for my drone. I couldn't take any drone shots though the place was screaming to be captured.

We visited the main temple and spend some time refueling before heading back to Bangalore.


Even on the way back home, we stop for filling our appetite for photos and wanderlust :)
 



Here is a quick sneek peek video from my #GoProMax :)

If you are an addict for the road trips, then you can't miss the long drive from Bangalore to Hyderabad. No doubt it's one of the best highway in India, with very few humps and villages on the way, it makes the use of Cruise control an useful feature. Here are the glimpse of my trip in below video: Being a heavy sleeper, it's a tough call for me to respond to the alarm in the early morning. This time, it was a different scenario,  i got up before the alarm as couldn't contain the excitement of being on the road. I left at 5:45AM from the Bangalore and could touched the highway within an hour.  The weather was pleasant , but it started drizzling soon. All the hard work of washing and waxing my #NighFurry before the trip wasn't appreciated by the Rain God :(            First stop after 200 KM for a quick bite To make sure we reached Hyd around lunch time, we just took two small breaks. Its approximately 600 KM from Bangal...

Dubai is a home to many adventures and landmarks, who would have imagined few decades back that a desert land would have turned into such a touristy place. One of the activity which you have to click from your bucket list is Dune Bashing and Desert Safari Camp. I booked from KLOOK: https://t.co/y0jm90m4tG I didn't knew there are different vendors and level of Dune bashing when I booked. For my booked trip, the vendor was 'Royal Eagle'.

If you are looking to find a #WeekendGateaway from Bangalore during next coming long weekends, Hampi is the perfect place :) It's around 380 KM from Bangalore and a valid reason to plan a road trip with your friends or family. In Fact, i would mention the fact that road trip from Hampi can be done from Goa or Hyderabad too. let me share the recent experience during Bangalore to Hampi road trip which gives you a pointer to help you plan better. How to go:  You can follow either NH44 + Bellary road or Nh150A+ NH48, the approximate time drive is around 7 hours. Tough the second option is shorter in distance but poor roads make it difficult to drive, especially the last 150 KM stretch as a lot of bad patches and some narrow deserted roads. I would suggest taking the first option even though its 30Km more but it takes the same time. It also has some of beautiful landscape on the way., I would also suggest having a FASTAG for your 4-wheelers to avoid waiting time at the to...
