Nagarhole to Iruppu Falls
Iruppu Falls to Virajpet to Madikeri
DAY 2: Madikeri to Sulya
Sulya to Kukke Subhramanya
Kukke Subhramanya to Bisle Ghat to Hassan

DAY 1.
There were a lot of things to encounter on the way. We started off on a saturday forenoon in addition to had breakfast at Kamat Lokaruchi on Mysore road. This is nigh Ramanagara in addition to i of the best places to get got traditional due south indian breakfast.
We laid off later breakfast towards Mysore. After Srirangapatna nosotros took a correct plow to accept the Mysore bypass. Then nosotros reached Hunsur. After that nosotros took roughly other diversion towards Nagarhole Forest. This is i of the best wood areas of Republic of Republic of India in addition to i tin create a safari inward the forest. the Nagarhole wood route is opened upwardly from half dozen am to half dozen pm exclusively in addition to the safari is opened upwardly throughout the 24-hour interval except 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
Our driver drove like shooting fish in a barrel through the wood in addition to nosotros saw monkeys in addition to deer in addition to got a few snaps. It is a xxx km stretch of no stopping for vehicles.
After Nagarhole nosotros had luncheon inward a modest restaurant. Non-veg is available inward ample diverseness inward Coorg but it was a fighting also spicy fifty-fifty for me.
After that nosotros reached Iruppu Falls which falls nether a wood expanse over again in addition to i has to purchase tickets Rs 20/head to conk in addition to encounter the falls. Its a modest trek to the falls in addition to is rubber in addition to sound. Even at the falls the government get got lay a platform for people who desire to accept a bath.
Fro Iruppu nosotros took a dissimilar route to Madikeri through Virajpet in addition to reached Madikeri only around sunset time. I was a fighting surprised to encounter that Raja's Seat has conk a big tourist sport directly alongside a toy train. Several years dorsum when nosotros had outset come upwardly hither in that location was hardly anything. We understood how fast Coorg has conk a commercial spot.
We started looking for a decent guild to remain for the black when nosotros got roughly rude shock. Shabby places quoted 700/800 Rs per room. Finally nosotros were real lucky to larn a novel house called Bhuvan Palace on Race Course Road(9448448597) at Rs 400 per room , decent in addition to clean.
We went out for dinner to a nearby hotel called Kings Place which was over again quite a decent one. Nights are to a greater extent than oftentimes than non mutual depression temperature inward Madikeri but this fourth dimension of the twelvemonth (May) its hot.
DAY 2. We started off 24-hour interval two alongside a hefty breakfast. The route to Sulya in addition to Sulya to Kukke was awesome. Right through dense forest, villages it was the pristine beauty of nature that captivated us. We stopped quite a few times to accept a snap on the route or only to relish woman raise nature.
When nosotros reached Subhramanya it was already past times noon. We stood inward the queue for a darshan , but all of a abrupt the queue stopped moving. We realized darshan fourth dimension was over in addition to volition start over again at 3:30. We roamed around the temple a fighting , took a few photos from exterior in addition to lastly left the temple. It was cramped inward Kukke in addition to it seemed that the street started alongside the temple in addition to ended there. There were real few visitors similar us who came only to encounter the temple.
We searched a fighting for a decent house to luncheon but everything was also crowded in addition to lastly nosotros had a few bananas in addition to chips in addition to decided to hitting the Bisle ghat road.
The route equally i tin encounter from the pictures was i of the most beautiful ones that I get got traveled on. It seemed to me that repairing the route volition likely accept the charm away from this place.
We stopped out vehicle a few times in addition to lazily walked on the route only to soak inward the beauty of the forest, listen the mysterious sounds in addition to relish the cool breeze. We hardly saw four to v vehicles on this route inward the two hours that nosotros traveled. There were a distich of viewpoints from where i tin encounter the mighty mountains of the Western Ghats. But on a sunny 24-hour interval similar this it was the eerie wood that held most of the charm.
Road status was bad but it was non risky. There was a few trees in addition to branches on the route but a potent car similar Qualis had no problems. Above all in that location were aught similar landslides or stones falling from the top.
There was a span on the manner over a modest mount spring. There were stairs to conk downwards in addition to also to the top. We went downwards to the mount stream in addition to played inward the cool H2O a bit. ( Myself in addition to roughly other guy were bitten past times something , which made its manner below the trouser in addition to made a puncture inward the pare causing roughly bloody effect. Fortunately it wasn't something poisonous )
Te viewpoints were pretty nice. If i wishes to create a black remain they tin easily acquit in addition to tent in addition to remain in that location at black in addition to relish the beauty. But i must acquit their ain H2O in addition to supplies(There was a tube-well from which nosotros got dingy water).
Finally the ghats ended in addition to nosotros reached Manjarabad Fort. This is roughly other overnice house in addition to a brusque hike volition accept y'all to the fort. The best fourth dimension to see the fort volition live early on forenoon or belatedly afternoon. We stayed in that location for one-time enjoying the dusk in addition to hence walked down. ( We institute in that location was a guy who genuinely locks the fort inward the evening, although it seemed that in that location were several other escape routes)
It was around eventide past times this fourth dimension in addition to nosotros had a Dosa to compensate the missed luncheon in addition to started off for Bangalore. We had dinner enroute in addition to reached Bangalore at midnight.
That was a sugariness weekend trip alongside a lot of driving.
