Masinagudi

Though I traveled many times in this route, never got at change to stay in Masinagudi. This is the place which we need to cross when we travel to Ooty. When we were planning for a long drive in Pradeep''s new car we decided to stay in Masinagudi. 






















Booked ‘The Nest Inn Resort’ in masinagudi in advance for our stay.

Masinagudi is around 245 Kms from Bengaluru and can reach in 5 to 6 hours depending on Mysore road weekend traffic. Started from Bengaluru early morning, by the time we picked every one in our group it was already 5.00 AM! Stopped near Bidadi for early breakfast 😊 After couple of pit stops for tea breaks and reached our destination at 11.00 AM.

I was expecting some chilled weather or a bit of rain but it was a totally dry day ☹ to add more sadness to this we could not site a single wild animal when we drove through Bandipura forest.

Once we reached the resort, it was even more annoying! The resort was situated on main road itself and rooms were not ready and they asked us to wait for one more hour to check-in.
















Instead of waiting for room, we decided to drive for some time and look for places around. Headed towards Electric power house which was around 7 Kms away. This place is restricted to visitors so came back and stopped near a stream to click some pics around.






















After spending some time, headed back to hotel and take some rest.

Evening planned to visit Moyar Check Dam.  
Location: Masinagudi, Tamil Nadu 643223, India

Kabbalu Betta Trekking

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.   Reached Kabbalu

Horsley Hills

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 kilometers, we r
