* Why is he opting for the unconventional route?

To avoid the boring and monotonous NH16 and to explore a new road through hills and forests. And also to see new areas of our grand and majestic country (at least geographically).
And secondly, to avoid not-a-very-meagre amount of toll tax.

** Why has he included Deomali hills?

This hill occupies a very important place in the topographical characteristics of India. It is the highest point in the Eastern ghats. Moreover, Deomali hills is adjacent to the area where people of Bonda Tribe can be seen.
