Muthathi is one of the best options for one day trip around Bengaluru, It’s about 100 kms from Bengaluru towards Kanakapura. It is located on the banks of the river Kaveri. We were planning for a short ride around and decided to visit Muthathi. It will take around 2 hours to reach Muthathi. Road condition is quite good and there are enough option to fill fuel on the way. Once we pass through Kanakapura (60+ kms), need to take a left deviation from Sathanur (18 kms from Kanakapura) from there Muthathi is around 20 KMs. Ride through this stretch is highlight of this ride. We stopped for a photo session on the way for couple of minutes, and resumed our journey. A huge surprise was in-front of us!!  An elephant gang was crossing the road just 10 meters away from us, we were not expecting any wild animals at this stretch and after seeing this for a moment we were scared but same time we were very much happy  Reached Muthathi around 11.00 a.m. We had plenty of time to spend around t...

ChunchanaKatte Falls is at a distance of 55 Kms from Mysuru (around 205 Kms from Bengaluru). Falls is a famous waterfall formed by Cauvery River. The river flows into Chunchanakatte forming a 60 feet tall and about 350 feet wide waterfall. Best time to visit this place is during monsoon, we visited this beautiful waterfalls during wrong time (peak summer). About Chunchanakatte Falls:  There is a belief that Lord Rama during his tenure in the forests stayed in this place on the request of the tribal couple Chuncha and Chunchi. There is a belief that Goddess Sita took holy bath in this place and till now the water colour in that area looks like mixed with turmeric and other holy powders used for pooja. It took around 5 hours for u to reach place, which included our couple of breaks.   The place is very scenic surrounded by waterfalls and greenery. Lord Kodanda Rama temple is situated just beside the waterfalls. It was a very sunny day, I badly wanted to get into water first. Aft...

We were in a dilemma because of last moment cancelation of Chadar Trek, not sure what to do for rest of the days. Couple of friends in our group went back to Bangalore. Lot of debate was happening and finally our Singh Sab (well known as Mestru) contacted one of his friends, Jayo who runs ‘Mitra Tours & Travels’ (they organise trekking across Leh). Jayo suggested about trekking around Stok, We happily agreed to follow his plans. Stok, a village with a population of about 1500 people, located 15 km away from Leh.  In Shanti Stupa there is a direction board written as ‘Stok – the home to the royal family of Ladakh’ (First time when I visited Leh I have not noticed that board). We planned to stay for 3 days at Stok. Jayo Bhai only arranged for accommodation for us.   We stayed in a home stay run by Jayo Brother in Law, they charged 800/- per day (because of off-season). After seeing the hospitality & the place we felt it’s too less J     First ...
