Lakidi – Upper Bhavani Lake

-

Plan for the day was to visit Upper Bhavani Lake, We were ready by 7.30 a.m. and had some time to kill before the start of the ride. So started our all time favorite task ‘photo shoot’ around the guest house 😊










Since we were staying in Avalanche guest house which was next to forest check post, we are the only group for the first batch of the ride.

This ride operates between 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. 

Fees Details:

Each Person           : 150/- (Ride will be in Swaraj Mazda mini bus).
Student Permission : 75/-
Jeep Ride                : 1200/- (Max 8 people are allowed in one Jeep, better to take this ride).
Still Camera             : 20/-
Video Camera         : 50/-

We don’t wanted to wait for other people to join, we hired a jeep and started our ride towards Upper Bhavani Lake. 






It will be 2 hours ride and they will stop at 3 points, 1st near one unknown water falls, 2nd near Bhavani Temple and finally near Lakidi (Upper Bhavani Lake).











Driver was telling because of less rain this season dam was not filled and if it is filled completely then it would have been more beautiful.













On the way we were lucky to spot one wild animal Fox which was roaming around the beautiful place.


Lakidi is a picture perfect place for nature lovers formed by the back water of upper Bhavani dam surrounded by grassland intermixed with sholas.






After finishing the Jeep ride, we said good bye to wonderful place and checked out the guest house headed towards Emerald Dam.

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...
