A group of 22 bikers are taking the rough with the smooth on NH-17, all the way to Goa, this monsoon
Enfield bikes are known for their thundering engines. Imagine 22 of these bikes cruising the highway, with the rain clouds looming above and green stretches on both sides. Seems like a scene from a movie? It is real and it's called 'Tour of NH-17'.

Twenty-two Enfield enthusiasts, who love their bikes and traveling, are participating in this six-day tour of the national highway, which leads to the beaches of Goa. The bikers and their mean machines will cover more than 1,500 kilometers as a single soul. En route to their final destination, which is Goa, the bikers will explore the rain-drenched landscapes of the Konkan. Flagged off this Sunday, the tour began Navi Mumbai. After halting at Panvel their next stop would be Shrivardhan, Mhasla, Poladpuri, the hill stations ofu00a0 Mahabaleshwar and Panchgani, and Tapola. Their route would include hilly areas like the Kumbharli Ghats.
After going around Kolhapur they will be reaching Malwan where they will ride across destinations including Bhogwe ufffd Vengurla, Sawantwadi, Amboli, Kavle Saat. Finally, from the outskirts ofu00a0 Belgaum, they will enter Goa through Mapusa.
Konkan Angels anyone?
