Jog Falls

Keeping the distance to be covered for our last day of trip in mind, started early morning from Murudeshwar and plan was to have breakfast at Honnavar and visit Sharavathi Suspension bridge and Sharavathi Valley View on the way to Jog falls. From Honnavar on the way to Jog falls at a distance of 25 we get Sharavathi Suspension bridge, there is an option for boat ride at this place. Nothing much to do at this place expect clicking some pics, you will get a nice pics around this suspension bridge. Spent some 20 to 30 mins here and headed towards Jog falls. Once you travel another 23 Kms from this point we will get a watch tower to see Sharavathi Valley View. Good thing about these two places are no need to take any deviations from the main road, we will get to see both the places on road side itself, but be careful while parking your vehicles. We will get to see one more waterfall on the way from road side, couple of times I tried to get infor...

After spending some relaxed time in Maravanthe Beach we headed towards Murudeshwar which is around 50 KMs from Maravanthe.  Even though the distance looks small in number easily it will kill the time, because narrow road. Expanding the road work is in progress and not sure how long it will take to complete. Took almost 2 hours to reach Murudeshwar from Maravanthe and while entering the Murudeshwar only we came to know the effect of long weekend. We missed one small turn and cost more than 30 minutes to reach hotel which we booked. Finally reached our destination and freshen up fast and headed towards temple for Darshana. Hotel guy informed us that temple will be closed from 1.00 PM to 3.00 PM and its good to finish lunch and go to temple around 3.30 or 4.00 to avoid huge crowd.  Finished our lunch and headed towards temple, since there was nothing much to do for rest of the day parked our car and went to temple by walk. Even traffic was in very bad shape and fe...

Drive through Maravante Beach

After spending awesome time around Agumbe we headed towards Murudeshwara via Maravante.  Our next destination was Murudeshwara which is around 120 Kms from the home stay we stayed. We stopped near Maravanthe beach which is around 70 Kms from Agumbe. Maravanthe Beach stretches for a little less than 2 km, running parallel to NH 17, with the Suparnika River on the other side of the highway (which almost touches Arabian Sea here). Now because of road widening and bridge construction we can’t get both Arabian Sea and Suparnika river in one frame, previously this place was very famous for the same, where we could have capture both sea and river in one frame.  There are couple of tea shops present near this beach were you can stop for some time to get refresh. Spent some time in walking across the sea shore and clicking the pics. For our luck it was not so hot as it will in other days. After clicking some pics, continued our journey ...
