My Camera Log

Yellapura is famous for many beautiful waterfalls, our initial plan was to visit Magod Falls which was near Yellapura, but last minute we changed our plan and decided to go to Unchalli falls. We had planned to vacate the home stay by 9.00 a.m. after having our breakfast. Meanwhile we went to home stay owner to check any interesting place other than our scheduled places. he guided us for a small trekking. I don’t call it as a trekking as it was just 1 KM away from the home stay. place was good but again we were in right place at wrong time and missed the sunrise which will be awesome as said by our home stay owner. Clicked couple of pics around the place and headed back to home stay. Once we are done with breakfast, packed up our things and said good bye to our home stay which was indeed a good place to stay. Group  pic in front of home stay: After few clicks we started our way towards Unchalli falls. Route was unknown as you know it was a last minute decision. We took help of local...

R amanagindi Beach was the last destination for the day for us. As planned earlier, explored   Mirjan Fort   first thing in the morning and finished our lunch near  Apsarakonda Beach   and reached Ramanagindi beach by sunset time. Ramanagindi beach is around 25 Kms from Apsarakonda beach. Reached around 5.00 P.M. and here sea shore is quite pleasant to play in water. There is no particular sign boards to reach this beach need to take localities help to reach this place. This is one of the peaceful beach I visited, apart from our gang no one else was around  Some of the guys started playing in water, I kept myself busy in capturing beautiful sunset in my camera.. Spent some quality time with awesome group, clicking some group pics and enjoying the sunset. A sunset to remember. Sunset-Awesomeness at its best. We were done for the day and started our way  back to  home stay ‘Éden Garden’ which was hardly 10 mins drive from this beach.

Apsarakonda beach is less crowded beach at 2 km distance from the highway. You can witness the full length view of the beach from the top viewpoint and it’s the best place to sit and relax especially during the sunset. Apsarakonda is near Honnavar (around 6 Kms), around 20 Kms from Kumta. After spending some time at   Mirjan Fort   headed toward Apsarakonda beach. Estimated time to reach our destination was not more than one hour, but because of one major accident road was closed for couple of hours and took more time to reach our destination than we planned. Reached Apsarakonda around 3.00 p.m. About Apsarkonda Beach:  Apsarkonda means Pond of angels. This is named after a pond facing the Beach. The legend associated with the name of the waterfall is that it was the chosen place of the angels to take a bath and relax. There is Maha Ganapati and Ugra Narasimha temple, behind which you find Apsarkonda waterfalls. There is a Pandava caves which is of historical significance...

Trip around Honnavara was planned and organized by Guru. As per plans we were supposed to gather near Mejestic Railway station @ 9.30 p.m. As usual and as always we were bit late (I call it as a bit..:P) and reached Majestic by 10.30 p.m. I must tell about the craziest auto ride to reach Mejestic. Since we were bittt… late, we decided to hire an auto instead of waiting for bus. We got into auto from Hoskere halli. We 3 (Varun, Guru and me) were totally scared by the auto speediness and were thinking we won’t reach our destination for sure and in case we did, we won’t be in a good condition to start trip. Finally by god’s grace we could able to make out to majestic safely in good condition. This time it was a TT we had hired for the trip. We were a team of 11 members for this trip (Guru, Varun, Mirza, Vijay, Asit, Vinod, Pavithra, Ashwasan, Jayashree, Sowmya and me). As soon as all gathered, we started our journey @ 11.30 p.m. All of us were too tired due to hectic work schedule at off...

About Journey: I t was long time I went out on my bike for a long ride, wanted to go out for a ride. Checked with my friends for weekend ride to Hogenekal falls, but no one was ready for bike rides.
