Harnai - India 2025 - CycleBlaze

Harnai

Last year when I cycled Southwards along this coast I passed inland of Harnai along the top of a steep ridge. I can remember finding a view point and looking down through the hear haze to the crowded village  below.

This year I am looking upwards. On top of the ridge new boxes of concrete hotels have been built.

  To get down to the coast would be a several mile journey each way on a steep road so no one would walk.  I guess the hotels have swimming pools and cool AC and guests would spend most of their time there?  A true divide. Probably the only thing the villagers below are gaining is sewerage.  And big white electric cars causing gridlock with the busses…

Ahead of the bus was a wide EV whose driver did not want to reverse

I walked around the old Fort. It looked like it had been ignored for many years but was now being restored with new masonry.

There is a strong Northerly wind blowing. It started at around 2pm.  I have about 40 miles to ride Northwards tomorrow so will need to start early.   Unfortunately a family arrived late and moved into the rooms around me…..noise until 2pm.

Today's ride: 12 miles (19 km)
Total: 813 miles (1,308 km)
