Weekend went Week Half....;)

Hi all,

Recently i and my friends planned to spend weekend bit away from this concrete forest bengaluru to just get fresh from the daily life. So our plan went some thing like this......
first of all , we got fix the place then had little bit survey on the road map obviously with the help of google. then we started.
So our planned place was Madikere ..One can say that it stands next, when you say kerala as a GOD's own country.. like really it has got such a wonderfull ghat's and greenery uff one should feel it rather reading it on a blog.. Lets come to the plan now.
Yeah, we started here Early morning at 6 from bengaluru and took a route on a mysore road state express way the road is damn...if you are a moto/auto enthusiast then you will be on a track duo.. and hey i forgott to tell you that we were on wheels. that is we took our m800 1984 Model which has li'l bit tuned engine to go on street..LOL..dear, i tell you she just don't go on road she fly..! yeah she is just a 24 Yr old young lady...you can say .... So on the way..
we had our first pit stop at Maddur for breakfast. Offcourse one can easily say why the Madduru is famous for .yeah, you are right it is for Madduru Vade..by saying only in one's mouth the water starts dipping..OK now we started from maddur and we headed towards Ranganathittu . ranganathittu is the area famous for birds. The ranganathittu is Located just around 160Kms from bengaluru. here you will get to see many spices of birds from the world . which will come here in every forth quarter of the year for breeding. it is the right spot for the people who do photography. And after visiting here one should go for the boat ride which takes you pretty near to the bird's area...
and after spending some hours, from there we started to kushalnagar where we had planned to make halt. so on the way we noticed in the map (which we carried through out the trip) that ,The Golden Temple is nearer to kushalnagar. So when we reached kushalnagar the time was almost 3:30 noon of our First day, so we thought of visiting the temple . The Golden Temple is the beautiful area covered by nepali Jain's. the place is pretty clean and well maintained..mainly the garden area and all and is nice place to visit one. by that time it was almost 6:30pm and we headed to the kushalnagar in search of Lodgeing . so we had a nice time till there the kushalnagar hotel was pretty good and envy we were more tired enough too by covering almost 200 Kms..but one thing i really like to tell you people that the road to the kushal nagar is a single road and it is good .but once you go nearer to the kushalnagar some 10 odd kms is a real hectic one. you rarelly find road on the way. So next morning we thought of getting up early and thought of covering some more places but b'coz of some issues with Hotel people we started bit late and skipped the most watchable one.that is NagaraHole Abhayaranya.... :( ..
So we decided to visit Harangi Damn. . .the place is pretty nice but the time we visited was not so good i hope b'coz of terror threat they closed the damn for the visitors. so we visited one temple there which located very adjecent to the canal.from there our plan was to visit madikere so we took the route back from the Harangi Damn to the kushalnagar main road from there we started our journey again and this time we were in the middle of Jungle passing through by Aaane park kushalnagar... where you find elephents in the Jungle area.. so after that we reached the madikere passing by hilli area ..Basically the madikere place situated at the place which is surrounded by many hills you can say..
after reaching madikere we first visited to the Raja seat. The place one should not miss if visit madikere . The Raja seat is a hilli top area from where you can have broad look of madikere city surounded by hills. And the clouds kissing hills looks awesom man...uff ! and the greenery....
after spending some time and getting aome snaps we started again and went inside the city the people are really good in helping and guiding through. and later we had our lunch at Hotel nearer to the Bus station . then started to the Abbey falls the place one has to visit. It is covered by total forest with big big trees and is the small falls but has the all beauty in it. it is a big rock from which the river cauveri falls from tip of the hill by making li'l bit noice and the hanging bridge over the river makes one stand cool and can have look on nature's beauty. the time we visited was pretty perfect .the time was almost 4:30 evening the sun was going behind the hill by playing hide and seek in the forest so the rays of him are makeing awesome effect on leaf coz of drizling rain at the spot. so we took some photographs which came really well . so later the drizling went heavy , so we ran from the place to the car parking area the time we reached our car all are wet enough. then waited to calm down of varuna raya(Rain) later we continued our journey according to our plan towards the Beluru..... the route is awesome covered full of green .yeah it was a ghat'section and road was also pretty smooth enough and the estate houses located were pretty away each other which was giving a nice view . . . and on the road we were finding vehicles very rare. . . so it made our soul happy.....
