After Mullayanagiri we headed on the second day to Kemmangundi and the beautiful Hebbe Falls. We had to drive for part of the way and trek the last kilometer or so.

I took over 750 photos over the 4 day period(which is a huge number for me). I will be posting some of my favorites in batches here.
We start off with ‘Mullayanagiri’ the highest peak in Karnataka. It is located in the Baba Budan Giri Range of the Western Ghats. October seemed like a perfect time to go there, the mist and the cool winds gives you a irreplaceable feeling of oneness with nature.

Words escape me as I try to sum up those feeling in words but one things for sure… This trip has been the most exciting 8 days of my life :) and I hv photos to prove it :P
Our journey started early Sunday(22nd May) morning…
