Kalasa Dairies – Part – 1 : Soormane waterfalls

-

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 the hidden gem near Kalasa.

We will get some small streams while reaching the waterfalls





Same time its bit dangerous too, its better to avoid diving and all. Even surface is difficult to predict and avoid getting into water if you dont know swimming.

During monsoon, its bit difficult to reach and even leeches will be more!

Different view of waterfall











Over all awesome place to play in water, very clean too 🙂

There is a small hanging bridge near the home stay, while coming back stopped near that for a quick photo session 🙂

Better to carry snacks and drinking water, there is no option of getting any food near by if you are not stayed in near by home stay.

Early morning view near home stay.









Re-visited the falls early morning again just to click some pics. Always early morning clicks will be more beautiful 🙂

























No one was around when we visited morning and it was a perfect time to capture the beauty of waterfall in our cameras 🙂

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...
