I eyed the Yana trip this way- This is why this child starts my album.

Titli and her friends wait for us at Kamat Upachar

Chief Jaani checks his bike

Booze stop

Bull charge with 60kph leading from the chest

Sri ganesh of cooking by Kaanda/Mirchi Seth

MTR as cooking aid

'Heater' is first to break the 'Bread'

We start the expedition. This is Syntheri rocks

As the water that flows by them

long shot of the same

Picnic Kumari by the water

To go up Syntheri rocks, We can go up from here

or walk through this dirt track

Flowers enroute

and the evening enfield safari in the forest

The place where we stayed

and the place where we dined

These three chose the dirt track

and Found themsleves riding through the jungle

Monk(ey) was @ work mid way

As the concrete tent could be seen in the distance

The Bangalore head (gear)s conference outside

Before they lined up for the Traditional foto

BiRju caught in the act.

Another angle to the tradition :-)))

Tradition with the Poster which is also becoming a tradition :-)))

This one is minus the new Poster Tradition for ole' traditions sake :-)))

Bull Torch maroing near Yana

Khana banana @ Yana

Bawarchi Kumaris and Kumars

With their fires lit

oops our bonfire, I mean, crackled

the night riders came empty handed without Histu n Naz

Kanjilal ka Shubhprabhat andaaz

Unfortunately it wasnt yet morning

for the rest of tenters

till the Hornbills greeted with morning alarms from one tree

and then screeched from the other tree

Subhash greets back and gives an imploring look - Quiet plz

Sleepy BiRju tries to balance and lift his heavy head

Creatures such as these did not bother to even try

The bulls were awake and watching

As some of us left out tents

To wash up in this stream

Flowing under these betel nut trees

Taking this path to the stream

Nahana @ Yana

Bread catches this indecent exposure

Fresh after the bath, we have to reach those majestic formations

We can take these stairs

they seemed awe inspiring in the middle of the thick jungle

Lone limsestone formations standing against nature for centuries

With caves inside them

And low and narrow pathways to cross

to explore hidden spaces within

till we conquered and branded them - 60kph rocks!

meanwhile Picnic Kumari enjoyed Chance Kumar's attention

While Rest of us...

Even Brad (bread) and Heather (heater)
