VIEW POINT-
There are two view points one in selurnadu and another is at seekuparai. From the view point one can get the nice view of the city.
JOURNEY TO KOLLI HILLS
This trip was planned two days before the actual day of the journey. It was Monday around 4:30 a.m. in the morning, me along with my three friends started the journey from Chennai. We were excited for this journey and we were mainly excited for the 70 hair pin bends. In my previous blogs I have mentioned the about the hair pin bends of Javadhu hills and yellagiri but kolli hill is different from them.
After a non-stop riding around 7:00 a.m. in the morning we stopped for breakfast at vasantha bhavan which is in kurinchipadi and in the front there is a toll plaza, next to the vasantha bhavan there was the kfc restraunt. The breakfast was quite yummy, I order a meal box containing 5 items. After having breakfast we left from there and we were riding as usual and the weather was in a good mood which was good for us.
Our ride was going good until one tragedy happen with us which was unaccepted. After riding for around four hours we reached Namagiripettai and there my friend’s scotter i.e Yamaha Ray Z got punctured and the time was 11:00 a.m. . We were few kilometres away from this small town and it wasn’t possible to push the scooter to reach to this town. We were lucky enough that we manage to get one mini truck were the scooter was loaded and he was kind enough that he dropped the scooter till the repairing shop. The driver charged 200rs. I bought the tube at 200rs from MRF store and repairing cost around 60 rs from a local repairing shop. Carrying the scooter and repairing it consumed more time. Our ride was going smoothly as usual but this tragedy was unexpected and because of that our timing scheduled was shaken.
However, after repairing got over we continued our ride and the time was 12:30 p.m. and after riding for around 1 hour we reached the first bending point.
So, finally we came to the point and our main riding started and in each and every bend there is a pillar marking the number of bends. In every bend one have to be carefull as many vehicles are coming from front and back and the turns were really stiff and one mistake will be quite dangerous. It took around one hour for me to reach to the destination which is the 70 hair pin bend point.
On the top of the hill there is a small village and there were few resorts. So, if you are planning to go and stay there then you can. We were getting late and as we have to go back to Chennai so without doing further delay we returned back to Chennai.
We were really hungry when we were returning back and we only had breakfast in the morning and nothing else. So, on the way we stopped at the same place were we had our breakfast but this time we had dinner at Kfc. After half an hour we left from there and finally we reached home at 11:15 p.m.
That was my journey from Chennai to kolli hill with thrilling 70 hair pin bend. I hope I have explained well and it will be helpful for you.
