My Camera Log

Mission Dandeli was accomplished after Kali River Rafting and Trekkingto Akala Gavi . We didn’t had any specific plan for final day of our trip. Compared to all our other trips, we felt did not click many pics during rafting and trekking, so final day of our trip was totally decided to photo session. More over the place where we were staying was perfect for photo session. Since there was no any particular plan for the day, every one woke up bit late and by the time we were ready for photo session it was almost a lunch time. Got some very good group pics as well as beautiful portraits. Once we were done with photo session we were in dilemma about the places to visit, initially thought of visiting Moulangi Eco park and spend some time in water sports available and then reach Sykes Point by sunset time. But by the time we finished our lunch and reach Moulangi park it was around 3.30 PM. Moulangi Eco Park which is around 7 Kms from Dandeli (though its just around 7...

After completing the Kali riverrafting , we have accomplished our main moto of the trip. But it was not the end! After rafting we planned for a small hike around Ulavi. Ulavi is around 48 Kms from Dandeli, and the road condition is also very good. The best part of this drive was, drive through dense forest. The chilled winter, cold breeze, light fog and the rising sun added more beauty to our drive.   The only sad part of this drive was, we didn’t get a chance to see any wild animals. As Mahendra uncle suggested we started towards ulavi early morning, on the way we can visit Syntheri rocks, but our plan was to finish the trekking and while coming back if time permits we planned to visit that place.   Through we started early around 7.00 Am to finish our breakfast and the drive through narrow roads took more time than expected. Finally we reached Ulavi around 9.30 AM. Visited Channabasaveshwar temple. It’s quite a clam place, we spent some time around the templ...

Planning for Dandeli Trip was started creating a new WhatsApp group, saying ‘Dum edre Dandeli’  😛 Since accommodation and other planning were organised by Mahendra Uncle, only dates and mode of transport was pending from our end. We are very thankful to uncle for providing the accommodation and guiding us in planning the things in Dandeli. Dates were finalised well in advance, we decided to visit Dandeli on the Christmas weekend. We were group of 7 members and we were looking for either train or bus tickets. But because of long weekend and holiday season we didn’t get tickets for reasonable price. Finally we decided to go by our own cars. Before starting the trip our intention was to finish Kali River Rafting and then plan other places accordingly. We can book our slots on online visiting JLR website. Jungle Lodges & Resorts who operates the rafting session in Kali River. When we checked for slots on Saturday and Sunday it was showing full, but when we contact...

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Temple was opened in 1997 and is visited by thousands of devotees every day. It is one of the largest temples of its kind in the world. As you walk up the long flight of steps to the entrance, pause to look up at the spectacular Rajagopuram. This is the temple’s main tower and is covered by hundreds of statues of Hindu gods. One of the first sights to greet you on entering the site is the gold-plated dhvaja-sthamba. This is a 56-feet (17-meter) tall column, topped by a figure of the Deity of Garuda. Step into the spacious main hall and admire the exquisite ceiling murals and the golden chandelier. Go to the main shrine with its beautiful idols of Krishna and Radha. The two figures are dressed in bright colorful robes and surrounded by gold-covered wooden carvings. Then visit the temple’s other shrines, which are dedicated to different gods. If you are visiting the ISKCON Temple with children, t...

Very old and unique military hotel, feel like homely food. Especially mutton items are very taste. Biryani also unique taste. Usually in the lunch time little bit crowded.
