Mysuru is famous for Palace, Zoo, Temples and Darasara festival. Its equally famous for lot of delicious foods. One of such must try hotel in Mysuru is Hanumanthu Hotel who are serving delicious biryani since 1930. While coming back from Ooty we got a chance to visit this hotel.  Luckily we got table once we reached the hotel. Heard from friends that, it will be long wait to get tables on peak hours. Sri Hanumanthappa was the founder & Initiator for hotel and its one of the oldest & finest hotel for Non Veg Items especially for mutton biryani. This is the Original Hanumanthu Hotel in Mysore among many others and now it's 4th Generation carrying on.  They have multiple branches around Mysuru which is running by family members and grand children’s of Hanumanthappa.

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...

Its one of the fine place at Namma Bengaluru to chill out with friends, this place is surrounded with great ambiance and tasty food. SOB is located near RR Nagar (Rajarajeshwari Nagar), previously sun pub was there at this place!   It’s a huge place and have many seating arrangements, we can select non-smoking or smoking zone as per our requirement. Better to book a table in advance since it will be too much crowded and very difficult to get a table especially on weekend. Though its open for lunch time, It looks more beautiful under lights. The service is great, the food is very tasty and one should try sea food here. A totally different hangout place inside the city and must visit place.

Though temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, there are many other temples. This place is also very famous for shooting movies and Kannada serials 😊

Visit to Vani Vilasa Sagar dam was not a planned drive, though it was in bucket list from quite long time didn't get a chance to visit this place. While coming back after attending friends marriage near challakere, we thought of driving to this beautiful dam and spend some time before we head back to Bengaluru.  About Vani Vilasa Sagar Dam: Vani Vilasa Sagara, popularly known as Mari Kanive.
