Madikeri and Mallali Falls

Date of Travel: 19th and 20th Apr 2014

I am very passionate about Travel that too Madikeri is one of my favourite places. We all four left Bangalore at around 10PM on the 19^th towards Madikeri. On the way, we picked up some drinks and as well as other friend (Yash friend)  in Mandya. Through the night, was talking the stories of past childhood and schooling stories. Yash and Yash Friend were busy in talking all those stories, off course he was driving , he is only the one who drives.

We first decided to go to Mallalil Falls located in Somavarpet Taluk. On the way to this falls, we found beautiful landscape, got some shots here. Then headed to Falls. Surprisingly no people were there. In mid of the forest, we only five had to go there. My friends cursing me for recommending this place. There is water in the falls. We went in the wrong time probably. This falls is one of best falls in rainy season.

While coming back to Madikeri Town, Yash was driving, getting us into great trouble as he was tired of driving whole night and day as well. Took some rest and headed to Madikeri Town. We had lunch in the city of Kushal nagar, We came back again to Madikeri for the overnight stay. 

We planned for staying in Cottages in the coffee estate on the way to Madikeri from Kushal Nagar. We stayed there overnight it was beautiful and good to stay as well. I love madikeri pork. We took some drinks and I had pork and my other friends liked Neer dosa and chicken curry.

The Next day, we just came back from madikeri to mysore , had plan of celebrating the Giri Birthday. We did on the way to bangalore road from mysore in the resort.

Finally this is one of memorable trips I had been.

Summary of Trip:

Well, this trip has planned for almost 15 days prior to execution. We had together of 17 guys, started our journey @ Koramangala, Bangalore on 1st  Dec 2012 at night at around 11PM. Everybody was picked up and started moving towards Mysore, Everybody was buzzing, dancing and Cheering off course. We reached to Virazpet at around 6AM in the next morning, we gotta some confusions over the route, Routes were very bad in the Virazoet dt. I would suggest not to travel the route towards Virazpet as it has pathetic roads in 2010. Take towards from madikeri town towards virazpet. We Reached to Tadiyandmol Base At 10AM after having break fast. Tadiyandmol is second tallest hill in Karnataka, India. you need to go to Aramane where you can start the trekking , No guide or permission is required. Only you need to go till Aramane(Palace) is important through forest curves of roads. 

Trekking with team

Everybody was busy in starting the trek. We kept moving towards hills, It was too hiky roads. you will get tired usually , it is easy-moderate path. After 3KMs, you will have to trek difficult -moderate trek path through hills. Hills were very beautiful. Everybody was so tried in hiking hills. for every 30Mts, everybody was was taking  rest and used to seat. however we manage to  top of hills in 4 hrs. Top of hills was looking awesome.  we moved back from top to base in 2 hrs. Then we moved back to Madikeri town where we had evening lunch and had a time pass @ Raja seat. We planned of doing night camp at one of friends house at Kushalanagar. We had drinks and food during the night camp. 

On the next morning , we bathed at Kaveri Nagar. We went to Goldan Temple and then moved to Dubare Forest where we did rafting. It was very nice fun and having swim at Kaveri River was kind of new experience over there. We swam and enjoyed a lot in water. We went to Kaveri Nisarga Dama where we had felt good in the evening but we didn't have time to spend much time there. We Started moving towards bangalore. On the way , we had evening lunch/dinner at Daba. Everybody was so tired and reached to Bangalore at around !2PM.However, this has memorable one.

Cheers
