Hogenakkal Falls

-

The Hogenakkal waterfalls, originating from the Kaveri river, is one of the most popular spots for a trip from Bangalore. For one of our team outing we decided to visit this place, usually all my trips will be with small group. But this trip was with around 50 people ðŸ˜Š

We gathered near Silk board and boarded the bus, Hogenakkal falls distance from Bengaluru is around 125 km. It is located in Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. It will easily take 4 to 5 hours to reach Hogenakkal falls from Bengaluru.










The name Hogenakkal came from two Kannada words “Hoge” means Smoke and “Kal” means Rock which means the “Smoking Rock“.

We reached falls around 11.00 a.m. started clicking some pics around ðŸ˜Š

















This waterfalls is famous for the Coracle rides. One should not miss this ride when you are around. There is no fixed price for this ride (that’s what I felt, demanded different amount during all my visits. Usually changes on different seasons).











This time they charged Rs. 1000 per coracle and it will accommodate only 5 people at a time.

After coracle ride, spent some time playing in water and headed back to Bengaluru ðŸ˜Š

Last note : There is plenty of options for food, should not forget to try fish fry at this place ðŸ˜Š

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Horsley Hills is one of the perfect weekend getaway from Bengaluru, a bike ride to Horsley Hills offers a thrilling and scenic adventure. Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Horsley Hills is approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru, making it an ideal destination for a short road trip.   We can take multiple routes to reach Horsley Hills but we chose,   Bengaluru – Hoskote – Chintamani – Madanapalle – Horsley Hills route. Its approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru and need 4-5 hours (depending on number of breaks we take).   The road conditions are generally good, with a mix of highways and country roads. After Hoskote, it's a single road, but the condition is relatively good. Be cautious of some potholes and patches after crossing Chintamani. Arvind and I started our ride at 5:30 AM to avoid city traffic and enjoy the cool morning breeze. The roads were relatively empty, and the slight drizzling added to the beauty of the journey. After riding for about 30 kilome...
