Hero Xoom 125 Long Ride – Our Return Journey from Digha to Khatra Comes to an End
In the previous part of our journey, we visited Digha Mohana fish market, bought fresh fish, and somehow managed to adjust a heavy 6 KG fish box on our scooty.
Now, in this final part of our Hero Xoom 125 long ride, it’s time to head back home — from Digha to Khatra — completing one of the most memorable journeys of our life.
Choosing the Route – Ramnagar, Egra, Belda Road
While returning from Digha, we had two main route options:
- Via Jaleswar → Kharagpur → Khatra
- Via Ramnagar → Egra → Belda → Medinipur → Khatra
We chose the Ramnagar → Egra → Belda route, which turned out to be a smart and scenic decision.
The roads were decent, traffic was manageable, and overall it felt like a fresh experience.
Short Break at Belda – Refresh & Recharge
After riding for a while, we reached Belda, where we took a small break at a petrol pump.
This break was important because:
- We freshened up using the washroom
- Took some rest after continuous riding
- Mentally prepared for the next stretch
At this point, it was already around 2:00 PM, and we knew the journey ahead would take time.
Lunch Stop Near Medinipur – Simple & Satisfying
After covering around 20–25 KM more, we reached near Medinipur town.
By then, we were feeling hungry, so we stopped at a roadside dhaba.
We ordered:
- Chicken masala
- Rice plate
The food was simple but satisfying — exactly what you need during a long ride.
After lunch, we didn’t rush. We gave ourselves some time to relax, because we already understood one thing clearly:
👉 We won’t be able to reach home before sunset.
Entering Jungle Mahal – The Most Peaceful Stretch
After crossing Medinipur and leaving the highway, we entered the Jungle Mahal region.
And honestly… this was one of the most peaceful parts of our entire trip.
- Empty roads
- Dense greenery
- Very few vehicles
- Complete silence
We had already seen this road while going to Digha, but that time it was morning.
Now, in the evening, the same road felt completely different — calm, mysterious, and beautiful.
Our Hero Xoom 125 long ride continued smoothly, and the scooty handled every road condition perfectly.
Evening Turns Dark – Weather Becomes a Concern
As time passed, the sun started setting.
Soon, darkness covered the jungle roads.
Thankfully, the headlights of Hero Xoom 125 were quite good, so visibility was not a big issue.
But a new problem started…
👉 The sky became cloudy
👉 There were chances of rain
👉 And we were NOT prepared
We didn’t have:
- Raincoats
- Waterproof luggage cover
This was one of the biggest concerns of the trip.
But instead of panicking, we decided to stay calm and go with the flow.
Light Rain & A Refreshing Experience
As we continued riding, light raindrops started falling.
At first, we were worried…
But surprisingly, it felt refreshing.
After such a long ride, those cool raindrops touching our face actually felt good.
Since the rain was not heavy, we decided to continue riding without stopping.
Final Stretch – Sarenga, Piralgadi & Lakshmisagar
By this time, we had already crossed:
- Pedakata
- Goaltore
- Sarenga
We were now very close to our hometown.
We passed Piralgadi More and took a shortcut towards Lakshmisagar.
At Lakshmisagar:
- We took a short break
- Had some evening snacks
- Waited a bit as rain slightly increased
Once the rain slowed down, we decided to start again.
Now, only 18 KM was left to reach home.
Last Ride in Rain – Reaching Home Safely
The final 18 KM felt special.
- Slight rain
- Dark roads
- Familiar surroundings
We didn’t rush.
We rode carefully, enjoying the final moments of our Hero Xoom 125 long ride.
And finally…
👉 We reached Khatra safely
Just in time — because soon after that, the rain started getting heavier along with thunderstorm.
It truly felt like perfect timing and God’s blessing.
Trip Summary – 518 KM on a Scooty
After reaching home, I parked our scooty in the garage and checked the meter.
👉 Total distance covered: 518 KM
For us, this was a huge achievement.
- First long ride on a scooty
- Fully loaded travel
- Different terrains (highway, coastal, jungle, sand)
- No major issues
The Hero Xoom 125 long ride proved to be reliable, comfortable, and efficient throughout the journey.
Emotions at the End – Tired but Happy
We were:
- Tired 😴
- Happy 😊
- Emotional ❤️
Our parents were relieved to see us back safely.
They were a bit worried when we told them about this trip earlier, but now they were proud and relaxed.
After getting fresh and having dinner, we didn’t waste any time.
We went straight to bed… and slept peacefully.
