I maintained distance from other cyclist most of the time. It was like I was alone on the road. All the nature beauty was just for me. While cycling I can see yellow butterflies on the roads, like they were welcoming us. I used to see and play with them in my childhood. I almost forgot that there are such butterflies.<\/p>\n<p>Most of cycling we did in Kerla state and I must mention that the people\/govt. has tried to keep it green and clean. Some houses on the way were very beautiful. They had very good wood work. Some houses even had their own water well. I know this sound stupid to mention but I have seen them since ages.<\/p>\n<p>On they way be <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bekal_Fort\">Bekal Fort<\/a> it started raining.
