Amazing Trip to Vanjangi (Paderu)

Photo of Iamdeepakdeepu

Vanjangi Cloud Hill Top

Hi folks👋🏻..! It's been a very long time having a ride because of Covid-19 Lockdown. After being personally affected by Corona Virus starting life again normal is like somewhat very difficult because of muscle cramp🤕 issues. But I can't control my eyes and spine to explore the nature. So I planned my ride instantly on the cards. I planned to ride towards VANJANGI village (Paderu) which is located in Vishakapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh (AP). I started from Vizianagaram city of AP @12 AM midnight🕛. Without knowing the route I started my journey by breaking the fog❄️ which completely covered the NH-16. Reached Anakapalle in Vishakapatnam @1:30AM🕜 which made 72 Kms🛣️ from my home. Then I opened my Google Maps and entered the location as Vanjangi Cloud Hill and it showed and I followed the route map of Google Maps. Now, the real adventure begins - While I crossed Chodavaram the clouds☁️ began to intervene my ride. Iam unable to see what is infront of me and I felt chilling weather for the 1st time. The temperature 🌡️ is dropping rapidly from 20°C to 16°C🥶. Now I started heading towards the ghats🏞️ which are so complicated with lot of potholes on the road. It's very scary while crossing the forests because the whole lies in Tiger Zone🐅. The time crossed 2:30AM🕝 and Iam still enrouting towards the location which was set in the Google Maps🗺️. At 3:30AM🕞 I reached the destination and my Google Maps🗺️ have ended and said You've reached your destination. Then the real story starts 😂.

Guess what happened 🤔????????????????????

I have reached the wrong destination. The road ended.😳 WTF!!!!!! I cursed myself for trusting Google Maps again😖. Again!! Why did I said "Again"??? Google Maps fuc*ed😣 me in Sikkim too - literally I stopped at a Cow Dung storage place. And you know what - Same dung place🤢 but here somewhere actually Iam nowhere 🙏. Then I wandered by walking here and there to searching for people around at that early hours. But, I didn't found any people and headed back to a near village to enquire about the route and then I found an oldman near a fire 🔥 making him free from cold weather ❄️🥶. That old man said that the place Iam looking for is very far from the place where I am at that time. Then I reached Paderu Junction @4:30AM🕟 and enquired many people and lastly got the route map with the locals help.

Taking rest after Google Maps devil show 💤
