Coorg Trip

Trip was planned very abruptly where Gagan joined me in Bangalore from Hyderabad while Saurbh came from Mangalore.

We took bus to Mysore where Anthony, my colleague joined me from my company. Journey to Mysore was soothing. WE (Gagan and I) took our breakfast from restra near bus stand-Mysore. Now we left from Mysore, it was bumpy long ride and took almost 4 hours.I was not aware that while booking bus from Bangalore we need to find mercara on KSRTC website (not Madikeri) .

Reached Madikeri arnd 2 o'clock. We booked and directly went to Abbi Falls, the place was much below than expectation. Water was very less in falls and guards over there won't let us take bath there. After Gagan initiative we planned to take bath further down in water stream. we went down from halfway back and took bath (in whatsoever water was left there). Anyhow this little unplanned thing made trip interesting.

Now there was no vehicle to go back as we took auto for drop. We tried lot of vehicle but planned to by walking. I called Mr. Ramu, he came to bus stand top pick us up. WE went to his farm (\7km from bus stand). Place was well built.

We saw Ind vs SA for some time (where Duminy babhut bahar a gye the). Ramu arranged camp fire and very good food which i ate in excess and my stomach crashed. Night was well spent. For tomorrow we chose talacauvery than thadiyandamol.

We went bhagamandala first, one can catch bus from bus stand. We started trek from here. After 6Km board and 300m walk, you will find jungle path which goes through jungle and meet road at view point (3km jungle path). Taacauvery was not much fun, we went up and clicked some good shots. Came back to Madikeri arnd 3:30 and took our lunch.

Saurbh decide to leave for Mangalore while I and Gagan went to Golden temple in Khusalnagara(on way to Bangalore). It was good to see Tibetan temple. Came back to room around 1 o'clock in night.
