The Roasting Grounds - Chikkamagalur (Moto)

'The Roasting Grounds' begins with open highways, winding tarmac and a false sense of ease. When the forest closes in the tarmac vanishes, the trails narrow, and the lines you take are no longer a choice but a necessity for staying upright. In typical Nomadic way, the campsite is off-the-grid, the wilderness is the luxury. The trails are indifferent to your confidence and brutal to cockiness. It's a crash course on the realities of overlanding. Dirt under your nails, grease on your jerseys and smiles under those lids at the end of this one for sure.
