Chikmagalur is a place one must visit - or that's what I had been thinking for a very long time. Somehow the plan for this trip never seemed to be made. So we decided to do an unplanned trip to this place.
Vikrant, being an avid trekker, traveller and a meticulous photographer, jumped with enthusiasm on hearing the idea. The two of us started off on a Saturday morning and visited the historical places of Shravanbelagola, Belur and Halebid on our way. By the time we reached Chikamagalur, it was dusk and we thouroughly enjoyed the scenic route to this quiet town.
On Sunday morning, we scaled the Baba Budangiri range of mountains and were witness to a picturesque sunrise at the top. To add to the beauty of this place, you have numerous mountains painted in different shades of green. On visiting the dargah and the peetha on the peak, we started our return journey to Bangalore, which took about 7 hours at cruising speed and several breaks.
There was a third member who accompanied us on this trip and
in fact, was THE reason behind
having such a memorable trip - my dependable Yamaha Gladiator.
Here is one of those excellent snaps clicked by Vikrant on his digital SLR (Nikon D70) - that camera was our most valuable possession during the whole trip!
