Road Trip to Medak Church


We got up one morning and decided to go for a drive. We packed up some snacks, some tea, some water and most importantly the camera and took off. After getting outside the city, we noticed a sign board that said "Medak Church - 77 KMs". Now, we did not know much about the church but knew that it is an attraction of sorts. It would have been a rather long drive but we said "why not". Seems we missed a turn and ended up taking a longer route, which increased the distance by a good 30-40 kms!!! As we did not have anything else to do that day, we did not mind that.

For most part, one will be driving on the national highway. So, the road is damn good. Driving over 120 kmph is pretty easy and comfortable and driving less than 100 kmph is a shame!!! The road has shops at regular distance and one can get fuel, get the car repaired (if need be) or make an emergency call (if required) without an issue. So it is pretty safe to take that road even without any sort of prior planning.

As I believe we missed a turn, we had to drive through a small village and then a not-so-wide road for around 30-40 kms. This road was a little scary as, for the most part, there was nothing on either side of the road. Since the road was not too wide, it is not too safe to drive fast as well.

The destination (Medak Church) is pretty nice and there were a lot of tourists. There is nothing much to do over there but what else would you expect from a church. We can safely say that the journey was better than the destination. You can try that if you love to drive, have a good companion and nothing else to do that day. Do not forget to carry some good music.
