Banglore ,City full of Serviceclass.After 5 days of work everyone wanted to get relax.Banglore and places near to the city provides amid opportunities to all of them.

Last weekend we planned to travel to “HOGENAKKAL FALLS”.Somewhere around 160 kms from banglore,in the way to chennai..Basically its a part of TN. This fall on Kavry river provides a refreshing welcome to all the visitors.
There are total 3 big falls and several small falls. Only way to visit these falls is by a boat. There are rounded boats in which maximum 6 people can sit. Once you start with your journey you will come across the biggest waterfall that is known as Tamilnadu waterfall. You need to get down from your boat and walk up to see this fall, in the meantime your boatman will carry the boat on his shoulder.

I was restless for quite some time as more than 180 days passed without a single trip in our car. Thanks to Swine Flu because of which we canceled our trip to Pune 3 months back. I was planning for two days trip to Shravanabelagola, Belur & Halebid as Saturday was a holiday for me. My parents were adamant not to miss my nephew’s Birthday, so we decided on a Day trip to Shravanbelagola.

Next morning we woke up really early and started for Palolem beach in Goa. The Goa border is some 20 km from Karwar and Palolem is a famous beach of South Goa. Till now, I haven’t been to Goa and not even researched about it because it is so very well known and appeals more to people looking for party and clubbing experience and I had kept it for some other time. Probably it had rained last night in the region because of which the terrain was all wet and sky cloudy. The greenery in form of trees, seasonal plants/shrubs and even moss/algae was everywhere. House walls, bridge railings, rock faces and just about anything which has potential was draped with moss. After driving for an hour or so around 7:00 AM we hit the beach. The beach was almost deserted except lot of fishermen activity towards north of the beach and few locals angling in choppy sea.

Now we headed to Udupi via Balehonnur, Sringeri and Agumbe. The lush-green views refused to subside and we were continuously treated with great views of fields and foliage. If coffee was intoxicating, now we were treated with tea plantations. The mild climate of this region is probably suitable for any concoction!
