My Camera Log

This waterfall is hidden gem around this place. I heard about the many private waterfalls around coorg and this is one of such waterfall located near Galibeedu. Localities call it as Abbe falls (basically abbe means waterfall in local language).   Waterfalls is located around 13 Kms from Madekeri town. It’s difficult to find it on google map as well.   From the homestay we stayed, waterfalls is around 4 Kms. We can opt for trekking or else we can drive for 2 Kms and we can park our vehicles roadside and take a normal route. But still we need to walk around 2 Kms.   We just drove our cars to near by place and started walking from there. Keeping leaches in mind we decided to take out our cars. Even for kids it would have been difficult to walk for close to 8 Kms (To and Fro)   It’s a jeep track and need to walk in some private estate to reach falls.   We can see the streams on the way to waterfalls and good place for kids to play in water.   By the time we re...

Galibeedu trek tail comes under Pushpagiri range. During our stay in Galibeedu for first day we planned for trek to view point as suggested by homestay guy.   Our guide (homestay guy) was telling there was a continuous rain from past couple of days and it stopped only today. Because of that we might expect lot of leaches and he asked us to be prepared for leach bites.   The path was easy but the leaches made it quite difficult to climb, not even we passed 50 meters from homestay started experiencing the leach bites. The view was amazing from starting :)   The path was bit slippery and uphill made us take some extra time to reach the peak.   But we never missed an opportunity to pose to our cameras.   It was an easy trek, took us 2 hours to complete the trek. Since it was getting dark rushed to homestay without spending much time near the view point.   Reached back homestay around 6.00 PM, by the time reached homestay it started getting very dark and slight ...

Dudhsagar trek, which was on my bucket list for a long time. Four times I booked tickets or slots for this trekking but could not make it due to one or the other reason. This time Sunil arranged for this trek and asked me to join. We booked our slot through ‘The Dreamy Destinations Tours & Adventures’. We reached Belagavi Saturday morning, Sunil picked us from the railway station and went to his home. We had enough time to catch our train to Miraj so we decided to visit Gokak falls. Once we came back from Gokak falls, we packed all our luggage and headed to the railway station. Train was on time and boarded the train to Miraj. Plan was to reach Miraj and board the train along with other group members from Miraj. Till we reached Miraj and boarded our train everything went as per plan. We were informed that we will get down near Kulem and start trekking from there. But the plan got changed, we crossed Kulem station and somewhere on mid way the train stopped for a min for crossing one...

Visiting Gokak waterfalls was not part of the plan, we were heading for dudhsagar trek and had enough time to spend. Our train was at 6.30 PM from Belagavi. Since we reached Belagavi morning only, we thought of driving to gokak falls.   Sunil picked us from the railway station and took us to his home. After finishing breakfast we decided to drive to Gokak falls, which is around 75 Kms from Belagavi. It will take close to one and half hour to reach Gokak falls, road condition is quite good (but it’s a single road).  Gokak falls is around 10 Kms from Gokak taluk. There is enough space for parking. Apart from parking charges, entrance to waterfalls is free.  There is a temple dedicated to Lord Mahaligeshwara at the entrance of the waterfalls.  The attraction of this place is the hanging bridge (now they blocked the entrance through the bridge). Last time when we visited this place we got an opportunity to walk across the bridge. Water level was not that much, we we...
