Location

In an open field that was being harvested with lots of buffaloes nearby.

Participants

Root2 (talk)
Raghu
A farmer and his son (who were right at that location)
9 buffaloes

Plans

I had it in mind but the point was far and Hyderabad has Loo (warm winds) going around because of which many people had died recently. It was scorching hot. But I had a car I had bought recently. Wanted to go on a long drive.

I slept at 4:30AM and woke up at 11AM. Called up a few folks who refused to join me especially when i mentioned the towel day to them. I decided to go alone.

Packed the bag, got driving license and papers ready. Just about to leave and Raghu wakes up. I tell him and he is ready to come.

Expedition

It was a long drive. We decided to take the Highway called Outer Ring Road. A smooth newly constructed ring road around Hyderabad. We reached the final spot without much issue.

Had to walk into the fields with Mobile GPS turned on. Found the place. Was greeted by a farmer, his son and his buffaloes. We took some photos and we headed back.

On the way back we got adventurous and took some shortcuts, that ended up being long cuts. Plus I didn't want to take my new car through a really bad road. We finally hit the right highway and reached back.

Tracklog

Photos

The Buffaloes.
The farmer and his kid.
My tribute to Superman on World towel day..
