Brilliantly MG..Akola-Indore
A trip on the breathtaking MG section between Akola and Indore done by Jayasankar Madhavadas, Kunal Doddanavar and Pawan Koppa on the 18th of September, 2010. An MG and nature lover's paradise - this is one of the few last attempts to capture this mind-blowing section set among the Vindhyas as the dark clouds of gauge conversion hover nearby.
