Ayyanakere Lake

-

Ayyanakere Lake is situated in the Malnad region of Karnataka. Lake is situated around 30 KMs from Chikkamagaluru (near a village called Sakrepatna). The Ayyanakere Lake is the 2nd largest in the state. The lake is surrounded by hills and is one of the most popular destinations around Chikkamagaluru.

We were in Chikkamagaluru for a quick hangout with friends. Its been quite some time we grouped together. We planned for a quick drive around Chikkamagaluru. Mahesh booked a homestay near Sakrepatna - Sirivasa Home Stay. Home stay is around 20 Kms away from Kaduru and 4 Kms from Sakrepatna. We started around 12.00 AM from Bengaluru. Though we could have started early morning from Bengaluru and reach the destination by check-in time we just started early to spend some time together.

Chikkamagaluru is around 240 Kms from Bengaluru and can be reached within 5 hours. Plan was to visit Ayyanakere during sunset which is just around 4 Kms from the homestay we stayed.

But because of late night drive we could not make up sunset.

Next day morning we woke up early and headed towards the lake. No one else were around the Lake. We just walked around the lake and clicked few pics.









We could spot some birds and spent some time around and headed back to Homestay.






There is no entry fee to visit Ayyanakere Lake. It welcomes its visitors from 6:00 AM in the morning to 6:00 PM in the evening on all days.

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...
