Nice initiative Prajwal!

Just a thought, is this the season to be there? I guess the falls would be pretty dry actually!

I am tentatively in. But we should keep more destination options. A dried up waterfall is not fun.

A few decent options - BR Hills/yercaud/hogenakkal

and (if we leave at 2.30/3.00 AM) - Madikeri

Agree with u, but this time of the year, its dry almost everywhere ... Don't have much options to think about... Ranganathittu is one such place which is good during this season as birds from various parts of the world migrate to this place... But don't think its a good place for the G2G

Time management is very important to make it for other places, might have to leave very early in the morning in order to make it... In that case we can even include Himavad Gopalswamy Betta to the list...

Yes, u r right. But which place isnt dry at this moment. The only criteria in choosing this place were:

1. Somewhere that's off the beaten track
2. Somewhere near a waterbody just to beat the heat
3. Ride distance within 300 kms (one day ride)
4. Must spend at least 4-5 hours off the saddle.

Of coruse, I am open for suggestions. Hogannekkal seems good, but is it do-able in a day including spending 4-5 hours at the spot? It would be great if that's possible.

Cheers!

Hogenakkal defi is doable and so is yercaud. We just need to leave at 4. And it's NH (golden quad) all the way. Ranganthittu is also a good option. Whatsay we drive tomorrow evening to pearl valley and decide (40KMs)

Hogenekkal is again to do with water which will be dry guys!!!

Yercaud is a nice option, but not much to do there. Unless we have a midnight start and reach Yercaud to catch the sunrise!

I posted this in Kadambam too, how about GS Betta/BR Hills?
