Default One day trip to Talakad - Gaganachukki - Barachukki

It was quite long time since my previous short trip so i decided to do some places near Mysore. Compared to Bangalore, Mysore is gifted with lots of visiting places around. I called up my friend who rides a Yamaha SZ-X to check with him, finally we decided to make it as one day trip on Saturday.

We planned to cover these places:
  • Gaganachukki Falls
  • Barachukki Falls
  • Talakad
  • Somnathpur temple

Left Bangalore early morning and by 6.45 we were on the Mysore highway. The route was pretty simple

Bangalore->chennapatna->Maddur->Left Turn-> Malavalli-> From here follow the route boards.


At Maddur, we stopped for a breakfast at Maddur Tiffany’s. The hotel was good. We spent about half an hour there enjoying idli’s and Maddur Vadas.






From there, proceeded to malavalli which is 40kms from Maddur. Roads were pretty good. Took couple of photobreaks.






Flowers on the roadside





We first visited Gaganchukki falls. No much crowd in this place. Bharachukki is much better place than Gaganchukki in terms of views.

Snaps from gaganchukki


















Pics from Bharachukki falls












Should cross a river, Looks easy but this was dangerous, fell twice while crossing.Suffered minor cuts on my palms and feet. Very Slippery!! I am in yellow Shirt



On the way back, had lunch in some Restaurant. After lunch, we proceeded to Talakad. There is no road to this place, we had to ride on mud road for about 5 - 6 kms.

Talakad Snaps:














Someone said Somnathpur temple closes at 5pm, but it was already 6pm. Couldn't go there, so that was the end of the trip. we headed back to bangalore. Reached home at 10pm. Totally 300kms travelled, the highest i have done in one day. Thanks to my Bike, My N8 lens and my friend :P)

Nice pics of the waterfalls-I have a thing for water bodies too!
N8's pics are amazing, to say the least.
One day trips are so refreshing. Hope you had some Maddur wadas too!

Nice pics. I thought that temple was actually somnathpur...looks very similar architecture and layout-wise.

Did you check the mileage you got?
