After a long fourth dimension I went out on a weekend trip from Bangalore.
The itinerary was similar this.
DAY 1: Bangalore to Nagarhole Forest
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
Hassan to Bangalore
DAY 1.
There were a lot of things to come across on the way. We started off on a saturday morn as well as had breakfast at Kamat Lokaruchi on Mysore road. This is nigh Ramanagara as well as 1 of the best places to lead maintain traditional southward 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 some other diversion towards Nagarhole Forest. This is 1 of the best wood areas of Republic of Republic of India as well as 1 tin give notice create a safari inwards the forest. the Nagarhole wood route is opened upwards from vi am to vi pm alone as well as the safari is opened upwards throughout the hateful solar daytime except 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
Our driver drove slow through the wood as well as nosotros saw monkeys as well as deer as well as got a few snaps. It is a xxx km stretch of no stopping for vehicles.
After Nagarhole nosotros had luncheon inwards a pocket-sized restaurant. Non-veg is available inwards ample multifariousness inwards Coorg but it was a flake likewise spicy fifty-fifty for me.
After that nosotros reached Iruppu Falls which falls nether a wood surface area 1 time to a greater extent than as well as 1 has to purchase tickets Rs 20/head to decease as well as come across the falls. Its a pocket-sized trek to the falls as well as is rubber as well as sound. Even at the falls the regime lead maintain set a platform for people who desire to accept a bath.
Fro Iruppu nosotros took a dissimilar route to Madikeri through Virajpet as well as reached Madikeri only unopen to sunset time. I was a flake surprised to come across that Raja's Seat has decease a big tourist sport at 1 time alongside a toy train. Several years dorsum when nosotros had start come upwards hither at that topographic point was hardly anything. We understood how fast Coorg has decease a commercial spot.
We started looking for a decent social club to rest for the black when nosotros got some rude shock. Shabby places quoted 700/800 Rs per room. Finally nosotros were really lucky to larn a novel house called Bhuvan Palace on Race Course Road(9448448597) at Rs 400 per room , decent as well as clean.
We went out for dinner to a nearby hotel called Kings Place which was 1 time to a greater extent than quite a decent one. Nights are to a greater extent than oft than non mutual frigidity inwards Madikeri but this fourth dimension of the yr (May) its hot.
DAY 2. We started off hateful solar daytime two alongside a hefty breakfast. The route to Sulya as well as 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 savor woman raise nature.
When nosotros reached Subhramanya it was already yesteryear noon. We stood inwards the queue for a darshan , but all of a precipitous the queue stopped moving. We realized darshan fourth dimension was over as well as volition start 1 time to a greater extent than at 3:30. We roamed unopen to the temple a flake , took a few photos from exterior as well as in conclusion left the temple. It was cramped inwards Kukke as well as it seemed that the street started alongside the temple as well as ended there. There were really few visitors similar us who came only to come across the temple.
We searched a flake for a decent house to luncheon but everything was likewise crowded as well as in conclusion nosotros had a few bananas as well as chips as well as decided to striking the Bisle ghat road.
The route equally 1 tin give notice come across from the pictures was 1 of the most beautiful ones that I lead maintain traveled on. It seemed to me that repairing the route volition belike accept the charm away from this place.
We stopped out vehicle a few times as well as lazily walked on the route only to soak inwards the beauty of the forest, postulate heed the mysterious sounds as well as savor the cool breeze. We hardly saw iv to v vehicles on this route inwards the two hours that nosotros traveled. There were a pair of viewpoints from where 1 tin give notice come across the mighty mountains of the Western Ghats. But on a sunny hateful solar daytime 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 as well as branches on the route but a potent auto similar Qualis had no problems. Above all at that topographic point were zilch similar landslides or stones falling from the top.
There was a span on the mode over a pocket-sized mount spring. There were stairs to decease downwards as well as also to the top. We went downwards to the mount flow as well as played inwards the cool H2O a bit. ( Myself as well as some other guy were bitten yesteryear something , which made its mode below the trouser as well as made a puncture inwards the peel causing some bloody effect. Fortunately it wasn't something poisonous )
Te viewpoints were pretty nice. If 1 wishes to create a black rest they tin give notice easily behave as well as tent as well as rest at that topographic point at black as well as savor the beauty. But 1 must behave their ain H2O as well as supplies(There was a tube-well from which nosotros got muddied water).
Finally the ghats ended as well as nosotros reached Manjarabad Fort. This is some other dainty house as well as a brusque hike volition accept y'all to the fort. The best fourth dimension to see the fort volition live on early on morn or tardily afternoon. We stayed at that topographic point for old enjoying the dusk as well as and thus walked down. ( We flora at that topographic point was a guy who truly locks the fort inwards the evening, although it seemed that at that topographic point were several other escape routes)
It was nigh flush yesteryear this fourth dimension as well as nosotros had a Dosa to compensate the missed luncheon as well as started off for Bangalore. We had dinner enroute as well as reached Bangalore at midnight.
That was a sweetness weekend trip alongside a lot of driving.
