Date of Travel: 26 and 27th Jan 2012
Well this journey wasn't actually a trip but went to our friend's marriage. But however, we made this journey as kind of journey. Sas has booked tickets for all of us. We went to Mejestic to get bus. Before the getting into bus, we had buzzed in the restaurant where it is just near by bus it is boarded. We were sitting back and of course enjoying journey.As bus was moving, we had a fund but unfortunately bus driver wasn't good in driving as he made breaks many times which is unnecessary. Girls were sitting in front of our seats with their boy friends, we got jealous of course.
We boarded at madikeri by morning 7PM. Sas went to his GF to meet and to do personal discussions. Myself and Giri had morning walk at Madikeri Town. We had freshened up in the hotel at KSRTC Bus Stop. then we planned to trek to Mandalapatti and Abby falls. We asked people about this. Nobody was said perfectly about it and distance from Madikeri. As per my experience, Madikeri-Abby Falls-9KM, Madikeri-Mandalapatti-25KMs. What would i suggest is that people anybody would like visit these places should have their own vehicle. As we hadn't planned vehicle, we hired auto to reach abby falls for Paying of Rs.200. We went to Abby falls where it has had good adventure experience.
However, Before 3KMS from Abby falls, There will be curve towards Mandalapatti. So beware of this route. They charge INR1600 for Mandalaatti. We had nice fun @ Abby falls where we can not bath. While coming back to Madikeri from abby falls, we came by walk. many of girls were also walking so it was kind of nice walking but my friends didn't like road as it was too muddy and cursing me for walking for almost about 7KMs. We were tired and got into Madikeri town where we had lunch (Non Veg).
We left the town to reach Siddapura where our friends wedding would be there. We reached there by evening, it was okay but weather wasn't much interesting. Evening was good. we had dinner at the reception. we came back to lodge. friends did buzz. Next morning, we had freshened up. We attended wedding. It is christian wedding and am attending this christian wedding for first time. We had lunch and left Siddapura. What i felt about Siddapura was that this is kind of secular city
We reached to Periyapattana. From there, we took old ambassador to reach mysore city. we felt travelling some years back as it was ambassador. We reached Mysore by evening and came back to Bangalore at around 12PM as it our KSRTC bus took 5hrs to reach bangalore from Mysore. We cursed bus for this too late.
However, this has been a good trip and enjoyed one.
