Kyatanamakki ride was suggested by the Homestay guy when we approach him for any other places to visit around. Since we didn’t plan anything specific for this trip. After spending some time in Soormane waterfalls, he suggested us to visit Kyatanamakki during sunset time. He arranged a vehicle for us to visit Kyatanamakki. We need 4X4 wheel drive vehicle to reach Kyatanamakki peak. Kyatanamakki hill station is located around 20 Km from Kalasa(purli home stay from the place we stayed and its near to Hornadu, we can visit to Hornadu temple also on the way). Kyatanamakki off road route offers a superb scenic beauty on top of the hill. We started at 3.30 PM from homestay, and it was a wonderful experience traveling in this open jeep. Till we reach Kyatanamakki hill base (parking place) road condition is good we can go by our own vehicle till there. From this point its another kind of experience. Its almost 1-hour jeep ride from Homestay. We reached on time and searching for the place to sit...

This place is one of the hidden gems on the earth. Only few people know about this place. Most of the people visit Soormane waterfalls and come back. This waterfall is still untouched and won’t get information on google as well  😃 Chinnu Anna during his earlier bike ride visited this place and he suggested to visit these falls. From Purli Homestay it was around 2 to 3 Kms, we need to walk through coffee estate to reach these waterfalls. We started early morning from homestay, since we need to walk for a distance, we left kids in homestay only me and Chinnu anna went near waterfalls. On the way we missed a deviation went to someone’s home! It was a quite good place 😊 Though we missed the route it was a quite good walk around this place. We got some nice pics while reaching this beautiful waterfall. Finally, we managed to reach falls and no one else were there and even water level was also too less and it allowed to climb till the top. During monsoon we cant even get into water nea...

Year 2020 was ending and wanted to end this on good note   😃  Things were slowly coming to normal and even we needed a break and come out of our homes! Plan was to travel some remote place during last week of December. After some discussion and searching for place to visit, decided to explore Kalasa. Booked Purli Homestay near Kalasa (around 5 kms from town). Homestay is around 310 Kms away from Namma Bengaluru and take around 6 to 7 hours to reach (again depends on the number of breaks we take). We started around 5.00 AM from Bengaluru and with multiple breaks reached home stay at 2.00 PM. Before reaching home stay only we come across a small water stream, heard that during monsoon it will look as a waterfall  😃 After reaching home stay, without wasting any time we just dumpped all our luggages in room and filled our tummies and headed towards waterfalls. To reach waterfalls we need to walk around 1.5 Kms from the homestay. Still this place is not so popular and one of...
