Galibeedu - Nagarahole

Image
Long weekend was around and we planned for family trip to Coorg. It’s been long time we visited to Coorg.   We booked a homestay called ‘Forest cabin hidden valley’ near Galibeedu.   Though I visited coorg many times earlier it was special trip for me this time, because it was my first trip with my princess :)   Coorg is around 260 Kms from Bengaluru and the homestay which we booked is around 15 Kms from Coorg. Instead of visiting other places on the way to Coorg, we just decided to reach our destination Galibeedu. Started early from Bengaluru and with multiple stops reached our destination around 3.00 PM.   Homestay is located at very isolated place, last home before the forest range starts! Best part (at least for me) is no network.   First day after trekking to Galibeedu view point just relaxed and second day we had enough time after visiting the Galibeedu waterfall .   Second half of the day we just spend clicking pics around the homestay.   After...

Galibeedu Waterfalls

This waterfall is hidden gem around this place. I heard about the many private waterfalls around coorg and this is one of such waterfall located near Galibeedu. Localities call it as Abbe falls (basically abbe means waterfall in local language).   Waterfalls is located around 13 Kms from Madekeri town. It’s difficult to find it on google map as well.   From the homestay we stayed, waterfalls is around 4 Kms. We can opt for trekking or else we can drive for 2 Kms and we can park our vehicles roadside and take a normal route. But still we need to walk around 2 Kms.   We just drove our cars to near by place and started walking from there. Keeping leaches in mind we decided to take out our cars. Even for kids it would have been difficult to walk for close to 8 Kms (To and Fro)   It’s a jeep track and need to walk in some private estate to reach falls.   We can see the streams on the way to waterfalls and good place for kids to play in water.   By the time we re...

Galibeedu Trek

Galibeedu trek tail comes under Pushpagiri range. During our stay in Galibeedu for first day we planned for trek to view point as suggested by homestay guy.   Our guide (homestay guy) was telling there was a continuous rain from past couple of days and it stopped only today. Because of that we might expect lot of leaches and he asked us to be prepared for leach bites.   The path was easy but the leaches made it quite difficult to climb, not even we passed 50 meters from homestay started experiencing the leach bites. The view was amazing from starting :)   The path was bit slippery and uphill made us take some extra time to reach the peak.   But we never missed an opportunity to pose to our cameras.   It was an easy trek, took us 2 hours to complete the trek. Since it was getting dark rushed to homestay without spending much time near the view point.   Reached back homestay around 6.00 PM, by the time reached homestay it started getting very dark and slight ...
