Kanva Reservoir was built in 1946 across the River Kanva (a tributary of the River Cauvery). The river here is named after the sage Kanva, who was supposed to have been living in this region during the time of Ramayana.

I could not finish visiting all the places so I have a plan to go there one more time..

[hhsplendor]

I don't have much idea where to stay there??
I think the better option is to go Mysore only 62km from there or to come back bengalore ...

Coming back to my travelogue ..

We planed this trip, so we prepaired the required maps by downloading and printing from GOOGLE maps(JOY BABA GOOGLE BABAR JOY!!)..
lugage packed,one of my friends brother also wanted to join with us so we fixed a place near E.city bengalore,as he stays there..
He had a brand new R15 V2...ok..
I could not sleep the night before..
Started our journey at 2.30am in chiling cold..


Because I told to meet him at 6morn,and normally it takes nearly 4 hour to go to bengalore from my place..
a
I reached there at morning 5.30 am ,I took 30mins of butt break and engine rest after 230km of riding..

I meet him and started our journey ,now the problem was a sports bike with single rider and 0 luggage..
And me smallest 125cc commuter with 85kg pillion rider with 13kg luggage....

Good snaps

Good photos overall. 1 suggestion do try and wear a helmet at all times. Saying because i saw a couple of snaps where you guys were riding without a helmet. If it was just for the photo shoot, its fine

Nice pictures, but please remember that Unless you are Veeru or Jai from Sholay, you are not allowed to post helmetless riding pics on xBhp.

Edit: #JustConfirmed: Even Jai and Veeru are not allowed to post helmetless riding pics on xBhp!

Nice ride there guys ! You got me to flashback to many,many, years ago when we rode to the same place when the "Sholay" film shooting was in progress (They were filming the shot when Amitabh is dying). The whole village with dummy wooden facades was quite a sight those days !
Thanks for refreshing my memories

Ride On & Ride Safe

This is probably one place where the Summer is the best time to visit, inspite of all the heat and dust. BTW, try using some other app to resize the images (or you know what to do with trial software )
