To continue... We had our break fast and thought we would check out Magod falls before having a couple of hours rest. So at 10.30 am we thought to catch some sleep for half hour, but it was 2.30 pm before we came back to senses.
Then wat had lunch. Pushed the Mogod vist for next day morning and went to check out sathodi fall. Its around 28 kms from yellapur and hit the deviation to ride through the narrow roads. When we left the room the sky was all clear and bright, and but here there was rain scare. we had left all the rain gear at room. Luckly the rain let off.
After riding some undulating tarrain, its 9 kms of offroading to get to the falls. So be it, who doesnt like off roads


Arun turning around the bike. Its tougher than it looks.

The trail followes the lake shore.

At one point we stop the bikes.

and Arun says we are getting of the path here to the lake! i mean from where? he says right here! After some scary getting down atleast for me we get near the water.

gawd know how i got down there. Lot of loose gravel and my shoes were bald.

Arun and me.

We spend some time on the shore and watch the cloud play.

From the hole in the canopy one could guess how high the trees were!

When we get back to the bike, we find these rocks stuck to the tank bag magnets. Metalic rocks! If any body wants to find some iron ore, you know where to go


Then we get back on the track for the falls....

Then we park our bike for a half km hike to get to the falls..


Arun happy to be there

So am i

Caught the moon from between the branches

First view of the falls

Arun picking the best view point. Its not the the water on the lens, but the draplets sprayed from the falls were caught by the Cam's flash!

It was a bit tough climb on the stones as in a slip mean u could get wet.

The Sathodi falls..

Couple of 1.6 seconds exposure shots..


The Golden sky we saw on our way back

By this time all the ppl around had gone and we were the only humans for quite some distance. We sat on a cement platform at one of the openings near the lake shore. And were there till like 8.30 PM. It was eairy with just some insect noice. Last time Arun was here alone at that time!. It was awesome under the moon light.
Tried some 30 second exposure shots of the lake in moon light

And even caught the moon.

After 8.30 pm we started for the rest of the off road return and to Yellapur. Have dinner and crash to catch up with the previous nights sleep loss.
Next up Magod falls... To be continued...
