Ooty visit this time was on the occasion of Nischith’s wedding. Nothing much planned this time during our stay in Ooty. Since wedding was on weekdays, while driving to Ooty traffic was very less and felt like it’s always better to drive on weekdays practically which is bit difficult to execute 😃 Our first stop was near Shivalli Restaurant for breakfast. It’s a very good place to stop while traveling with family. There is enough parking, well maintained restrooms and we will get very tasty food  😃 Should try Idly here, it’s quite different in look but very tasty. After having breakfast continued our journey, again we were in Bandipura forest in less than a month. But this time also no luck of witnessing any wild animal. While heading towards Ooty we took Kalhatty ghats where we will be driving through 36 hair pin bends. Which also reduces journey time to almost one and half hours. Reached our destination around 1.00 PM and took some rest be...

Drive to Kabini back waters was not part of the plan, actually we didn’t had any plan before we started from Bengaluru for this trip. Since it was last minute plan to go out for a hang up, we didn’t had any particular plan, we just booked the home stay near Koorg and started our journey. As usual it was late night drive and stopped near Mysuru place for a quick break around 3.00 AM. Its was a quite good time to take a pic under lights without any crowd. Got some of good clicks and continued our journey reached our destination around 8.00 AM. Booked the same home stay Nisarga comforts, which we visited almost 5 years back when we visited Iruppu falls . Because of long weekend and holiday season all the places were crowded so decided to just hangout around home stay. While coming back we took HD Kote route via Nagarahole forest with the hope of seeing wild animal. It was a wonderful drive inside the forest, most loved part of this drive was roof top open jo...

Kyathadevara  Gudi is generally known as K-Gudi, located 18 Kms of BR hills . I am not sure how we missed to visit K-Gudi during our last bike ride to BR Hills. We were so close to that wonderful place and that to it was a bike ride..!!!  After coming back whenever I see the pics of that beautiful forest I was cursing myself for missing that ride.  For this monsoon, K-Gudi was in first place to visit in my bucket list. Finally first week of June we planned to visit K- Gudi . Since stay option is very limited in K- Gudi   we opted to stay in BR hills in the same resort we stayed before.  Home stay contact details:   Giridarshini Home Stay  Kiran : +91 9686588742 / +91 9483325042.  Reaching K-Gudi:  Once can reach K-Gudi in 2 routes, one is to take Mysuru road and join to Malavalli route or second option is to take Kanakapura route. Distance wise its one a...

Bike rides in Monsoon will be always special moments, but this time it was even more special for me. It was my first bike ride with my wife. It’s been long time I visited BR hills and while planning for a ride it came to mind first in the list.  Checked with couple of my friends who were willing to join us, Sunil joined us with his family and Pradeep also said okay. So we were all set forming a group and next task was to look out for accommodation, this time we booked ‘Giridarshini Home Stay’ which is around just 1 Km away from BR hills view point/temple.  Home stay contact details: Giridarshini Home Stay -  Kiran : +91-9686588742 / +91-9483325042.  Plan was to start Saturday early morning mainly to avoid weekend traffic and enjoy the morning cold breeze. Gathered near Uttarahalli at 6.00AM as per plan and started our ride. We opted Kanakapura Road to reach our destination BR hills, even though it’s a single road it’s better to take this route...
