All the slopes were so steep that I had to walk along with my cycle. I came across a beautiful coastal city today by the name Karwar and visited a few places there about which I will share later. I was already riding behind my timing as I started late by 45 minutes in the morning. Somewhere on my route, I was all alone and somewhere, there were monkeys and chimpanzees around me as I crossed a forest today and Citagao Wildlife Sanctuary was nearby.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18434\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18434\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/travel\/day-14-gokarna-karnataka-to-palolem-goa-kanyakumari-to-leh-cycling\/attachment\/20140307_091217\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18434\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-18434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_091217-665x886.jpg\" alt=\"Tree of Life :)\" width=\"665\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_091217-665x886.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_091217-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_091217-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_091217.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tree of Life \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18435\" style=\"width: 665px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/travel\/day-14-gokarna-karnataka-to-palolem-goa-kanyakumari-to-leh-cycling\/attachment\/20140307_114647\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18435\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-18435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_114647-665x886.jpg\" alt=\"Karnataka ends, Goa starts\" width=\"665\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_114647-665x886.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_114647-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_114647-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/ci-moi-images\/my-india\/20140307_114647.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18435\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Karnataka ends, Goa starts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After 74 Kms, I reached Karnataka state border where I was inquired by a policeman about my cycling tour and then, entered Goa. Today was the third time that I was chased by dogs during this cycling trip and I get frightened whenever they run after me. Thankfully, my cycle gears are always in perfect order to ride faster. I reached Palolem, 70 Kms south of Panaji, at 2 pm today after riding for exactly 100 Kms and tomorrow, I will reach Panaji where I will take two days break.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wake up in the morning and I have completely no idea where I am going to end up that night.
