On the Rickshaw Run January 2016

Rest Stop

Decided to have a short day and head toward Jog Falls tomorrow. Found an amazing Ecostay cabin hotel directly on a private beach outside of Kumta. Getting some much needed rest after our massive jaunt through the Western Ghats on Days 1-3.

To Fire it Up: Thanks for being great convoy partners. Enjoy Goa!

To Wheels of Glory: Hope you got your rickshaw running and you are not stranded any longer. Good luck!
