Dhimbam Hills - bike Trip

Dhimbam Hills

It was my first long ride by bike on NOV 2015. I have just planned before night of my trip,that time i was about in leave for two days so planning to spend weak end quit different and came to the conclusion of bike ride to dhimbam. Dhimbam is the hill place with thick forest and it has 27 dangerous hairpin bends and ghat roads. Driving in dhimbam ghat road is very adventures one. We can find lot heavy load lorries travels on this road.One who have good knowledge in driving of ghat roads have only drive without struggle.

 I have used my yamaha crux for this ride. I have started my journey at 6 am from erode and reached 6.50 am in gobichettipalayam 40kms, then took 10 mins halt and started through sathyamangalam 35 kms and reached sathi at 7.45 am and took tea break for 15 mins. I started from sathi to bannari at 8 am and reached bannari amman temple at 8.30 am. Bannari to dhimbam road was an ultimate full of ghat roads.

The nice road and background mountain was looking pleasant. It was an November month so climate was so nice at the time of climbing mountain. let see few more pics..

First 10 hairpin bands were not much difficult to claim up, Then it gets difficult after 11 bend to 27th bend,not only roads and bends were problem there. The animals attacks were one of the major threads in dhimbam.

We can find a lot of warning posters on the side of road. This place is famous for leopard attack. There were lot of stories based on the leopard attack in dhimbam forest.

I was not aware of it until in reached there.After i heard a lot attack stories over that place i did drive more consciously while down hill.


Once i reached top, beauty of that forest was attracted me a lot.Lets see some pics...
