Tamilnadu

Bettamugilalam & Panchapalli Dam

Bettamugilalam is one of the lesser known hill stations of Tamil Nadu and just 90 Kms away from Namma Bengaluru. One of the best trails for one day ride. Ride was planned at the last minute, Sharath & Ramya were planning for a quick one day ride and checked about our plans for November 1st holiday! Till that time we didn’t had any plans and without thinking too much we said okay for the ride.









Krishnagiri Dam

Krishnagiri is well known for a short bike rides/drives over a weekends. Even my all previous rides/drives were limited to McDonalds on the highway, while going through one of the travel blog got information about this KRP dam (Krishnagiri Reservoir Project) Just at a distance of 100 Kms, we will find this beautiful place.

Hogenakkal Falls

Moyar Check Dam - Masinagudi


Around Masinagudi we don’t have much places to visit (at least I couldn’t find). In evening we decided to visit Moyar check dam which was around 10 Kms from the hotel which we stayed in Masinagudi. This place can be reached in our own vehicles or we can get a taxi/jeep rides
from Masinagudi. 

Masinagudi is around 245 Kms from Bengaluru and can reach in 5 to 6 hours depending on Mysore road weekend traffic.
