The Walk on the Ridge in the Valley of Honey…

About a month or so ago my colleagues and I did a fun filled three day trip to Honey Valley Resort near Madikere. The trip was one of the most surprisingly fun trips of my life. Almost nothing that I expected to happen happened and whatever did happen left this amazing sense of adrenaline that is somehow still clinging on.

We traveled from Bangalore via the Mysore road and the Hunsur road towards our destination. The recent rains had made the landscape lush green and the drive was an absolute pleasure. We were a large group about 23 people(colleagues had brought their families along too) and that meant a train of 6 cars headed together.

Hebbe Falls

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.

This was also my first encounter with Leeches. I was compartitively lucky as the leeches seemed to have avoided me but my co-travellers werent that lucky. In the end the waterfalls was a welcome relief to us all.

Mullayanagiri – In Pictures

A couple of weeks back I had been on a 4 day trip to Chikkamagaluru , Mullayanagiri, Kemmangundi, Shringeri and Belwadi. The trip was one of the most scenic I have been a part of… the beauty and greenery was the kind I had till then only seen on pictures or film.

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.
