Ride to Kanyakumari

Ride to Kanyakurmari was one of my dream ride, It took nearly a decade to check off this item from my bucket list - first, a ride to Kashmir, and now, a ride to Kanyakumari. 😎  Seena initiated this trip, and I had some personal doubts about it, but I eventually managed to join in. Our plan was to travel during the Independence Day long weekend. I took a day off on the 14th of August, and we planned to start from Bengaluru early in the morning on the 12th of August. We gathered near the Nice Road junction at 5:00 AM and started our ride.  Our goal was to reach Kanyakumari in one go, which is approximately 660 kilometers from Bengaluru.

Shilhaandara

I heard about Shilhaandara Resort from many friends but didn't have the opportunity to visit until our recent team outing. This beautiful resort is located in the Ramanagar District, approximately 50 kilometers from Bengaluru, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. We can reach Shilhandara in 1 and Half hours. If we take express high way, we can reach bit early as well.  The route Google Maps suggests as the shortest is quite narrow, so I recommend taking a different route, even if it takes a bit longer. Shilhaandara Resort offers three different packages: a) Day Out Package b) Full Day Package c) Hi-Tea and Dinner Package The Day Out Package, which includes breakfast (the one we chose), costs around INR 1200, including taxes and internet handling charges. You can make reservations through their official website ( http://shilhaandara.com/packages/ ). This package provides access to: Indoor games such as table tennis, carom, chess, dart, and a 30-minute session of rain dance...
