WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR - 2010
Every one enjoys their New year Eve and New year Day. But for me both days were busy with work at office. So planned to celebrate it on Jan 2nd. Jan 1st night by 11pm my friend Chan called me and said to go for some long ride. Then the whole night plans was keep on revolving in my mind, thinking of where to go just for one day. Called up my friend Manjunatha in the late night and asked him for some suggestion. He told me to go to Sangam in Ramangar district which is just 2 hours journey in bike. Now the plan is finalized and informed the same to Chan, Anil and Purushotham. Planned to start by 8am in the morning so that we can reach safe by 7pm.
First visited "Chunchi falls" spent there till 3 pm. Enjoyed the view, as it was sunny day couldnt able to spend more time under sum in that rocky place. It was very dangerous place, with rock mountains, kind of forest around. I am sure one shoud not go to these kind of place either alone or couple. Definitely they should visit these kind of place only with a group of friends or more members in family. If not its not safe to visit this place.You couldnt even think how the place would look like from the place where you park your bikes or cars. But once you take a walk about 5mins, you would be reaching a deadly vally kind of place with awesome view.
All of us was very hungry but couldnt able to get anything to eat there. So had some tender coconut, snacks and after that kick started both the bikes to "Sangam" reached there by 3:30pm, that was very deadly road which is complete Ghat section. Bike got slipped at one curve but nothing happened (Coz I am a professional rider :P). after an 20mins ride reached the place, where there is place with water and loads of chicks around playing in that water :p. Enjoyed a lot in water playing and fighting with my friends. First thought not to get in to water, but after getting into the water to reach the other end of the river, the monkey mind started to think about the childhood memories and all of sudden I myself got down in to the water and enjoyed like something. Played till 5pm in the water and reached the other end of the shore.
The tourism people is running a paid trasnport (bus) to reach Mekedatu from Sangam which would be hardly 3-4 kms. They charged each person 40/- for up & down. Boarded the bus and reached the Mekedatu the Deadly, rock mountains, awesome flow of river and enjoyed the view. Reached the deadly point and had a look in to the river that was really awesome view from there. But if one get slipped from there no way we can get them back, such a deadly swirls and rocks are there. Then by 6pm the bus returned to the spot so we have to catch it now, if not we have to go by walk :), so catched the bus, but as there's no space to suit inside the bus, me with my friends sat on the top of the bus. That was awesome while returning back from Mekedatu to Sangam on top of the bus looking in to nature, enjoying the evening, singing, dancing with my friends. Finally reached sangam and now started bikes to return back to home-Bangalore.
Had some snacks kick started the bikes, non-stop ride it was. Reached Kanakpura and thought to have some food as we didnt had eaten anything for lunch. It was night 7pm reached hotel Kanaka on the highway from BLR to Kanakpura road. It's our bad luck as there's no power and no card facility for paying the bill, but all 4 of us is left with only 200/- cash in our pockets. So had some rotis and curries with in that budget and started from there.
Finally after non-stop ride reached Bangalore by 10pm. Chan and Anil turned to their home. Me with my cousin reached home by 10:45pm.
Mum started to shout on us as my cousin never informed her that he is joining us for the trip and they were waiting for him in the afternoon. Finally everything got settled and catched bed.
But on the way because of the bad roads and no lighting bike got little hurted with the pit hits. Body pains was seviour because of 4 hours up and down journey/ride.
Planning again to meet this place with either my family or with more friends. Thats awesome place you can find close to Bangalore and hang out to have some nature view.
