I’m going to post here a day to day journal of a trip from the southern tip of India all the way up north to Srinagar, and maybe further if the 172 can survive the Himalayas that far. I will use live weather and live time only. The goal will be to break the journey up into legs of about 100 nms each. By my calculations the total distance from Kanyakumari in the southern tip of the state of Tamil Nadu to Srinagar, Kashmir, is about 1,500 nms.
My first leg will start in Colombo, Sri Lanka, as I wanted to experience of seeing the tip of India appear in the horizon for the first time, and fly over Kanyakumari, well-known for being India’s beautiful “land’s end” at its southern tip.
