Tip of the Day

Truck carrying loose building materiel - watch out!

Stuff like sand, gravel or even rocks falling out of trucks. You've probably seen it before and were angry at the trucker. Keep a sharp look-out for such inconsiderate morons and stay either way behind them or way ahead of them.

    Nice teaser
    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

    So what are there to see??
    Is there something to njoy if you are not a rider...

    Yesss...There are lots of places to visit...
    Here is the list..

    PLACES OF INTEREST IN AND AROUND RAMANAGAR

    Rocks of Ramanagar
    Ramanagar is also known as the land of seven hills. Shivaramagiri, Yatirajagiri, Somagiri, Krishnagiri, Revannasiddeshwara Betta, Jalasiddeshwara Betta and Sidilakallu Betta are the seven hills that dot the landscape of Ramanagara.

    Ramadevara betta
    Another well known hill is Ramadevara betta. Small door like grottoes were made in the rock to resemble caves. It was also in this region that the famous Hindi movie, Sholay, was shot.

    Janapada Loka
    Janapada Loka is situated in Ramanagara district on the Bangalore - Mysore highway at a distance of 55 km from Bangalore. Janapada Loka is an organization that is committed to preserving and propagating the rural folk culture of Karnataka. An art gallery, open-air theatre and museum are also located here.


    Kanva Reservoir
    Kanva Reservoir is about 70 km from Bangalore and 13 km from Channapattana between Ramanagara and Channapattana. 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.

    Kanva Reservoir has 5 automatic Siphons, each with a displacement of 14000 cusecs of water. It is also excellent picnic spot, with facilities for fishing and an ideal spot for camping and bird watching.

    Magadi
    Magadi is located at a distance of 50 km from Bangalore. Magadi is the Birthplace and it was Capital of Kempe Gowda who built Bangalore.

    Magadi has a remnants of an old fort, which is said to have been built by Kempe Gowda in which is situated the temple of Rameshwara, his family God. The ruins of his palace are pointed out to the south-west of this temple, where only broken brick and ruined walls are noticed.

    The Rameshwara temple in a later Vijayanagara style has a Sanctum hall having a brick and mortar Dravida Shikhara. There is a small Ardhamantapa leading to a Navaranga with frontal Mantapa having square granite pillars. Outside the temple is a spacious inner Prakara and at the backyard are small cells having Panchalingas.

    Mekedaatu (Goat's leap)
    Mekedaatu or Goat's Leap, a famous picnic spot is about 95 km from Bangalore via Kanakapura. Mekedaatu is situated within the limits of the Muggur forest. Mekedatu is a beautiful picnic spot where the river Kaveri and river Arkavathi merges at the Sangam. From this point, about 3.5 kilometers downstream, the river Kaveri flows through a deep gorge so narrow that one would think that a goat can leap and cross it.

    Savandurga
    Savandurga is a hill located at a distance of 60 km west of Bangalore. It is also known as Magadi Hills. The hill is famous for a temple and is also believed to be among the largest monolith hills in the world. The Savandurga hills are frequently visited by pilgrims who come to visit the Basaveshwara, Savandi Veerabhadreshwara Swamy and Narasimha Swamy temple situated at the foothills. At the foothill there is a village by the same name and the forest around has been stated as reserved forest and there is protected garden of the Herbs of medicinal interest.

    Shivaganga

    Shivaganga is located at a distance of 60 km from Bangalore. Shivaganga is also known as Dakshina Kasi or the Varanasi of the South. Temples dedicated to Gangadhareswara, Hanna devi and a cave spring called 'Pattala' are found at the top of the hill.

    Channapattana
    Channapattana is located 60 km south-west of Bangalore on Mysore-Bangalore highway. The City was ruled by the King Timmapparaja Aras and later Jagadevaraya choose it as his Capital city. Channapattana is popular for its wooden toys and lacquer ware.

    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 ...

    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....
    ok my bike still managed to cruised at the speed of 85to 90kmph..

    Default 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 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 )
    Some of the Happiest people in the world don't have everything. They just make the best of everything life brings their way !!! Stay happy, Smile always :)
