Melukote is a modest
temple town close
Mysore. One fine Dominicus forenoon nosotros started off from Bangalore for Melukote. The forenoon conditions inward Bangalore was really pleasant. Speeding off from NICE route nosotros reached
Ramnagara very hungry for breakfast. Just a few kilometres from Ramnagara is '
Kamat Lokaruchi' a prissy house for breakfast. Although its by too large pretty decent but the service was poor. it seemed that they are facing tough contest from a few of the newer ones on this road. Next fourth dimension I'll also receive the novel eating seat merely on the contrary side of Kamat.
The shops surrounding Kamat sell to a greater extent than or less
handicrafts related stuff. Some of the items are pretty decent too adept looking. But its mostly fancy stuff.
Starting from Kamat, nosotros gear upward off towards

Initially it seemed to go a bad selection , but the route turned out to go a wonderful one. It took us through the countryside too to a greater extent than or less existent greenery. The route status was also pretty decent.

Apart from this temple in that location is to a greater extent than or less other temple merely close one-half a kilometer from this 1 called

There are a distich of to a greater extent than ponds afterwards this temple , but did non uncovering it really build clean surroundings.
The same route takes 1 to the
Sanskrit academy for which Melukote is famous. We noticed a lot of Swamiji similar dressed people who seemed to go similar Sanskrit pundits. We decided to telephone telephone it a day. It was indeed a wonderful Dominicus for us.
The trip was adept too nosotros decided to pass the afternoon inward

Melukote Wildlife Sanctuary where
wolves are seen. Maybe nosotros missed that.
