This being my first travelogues please leave a few suggestions/ critics or anything that can help me improve.
Considering the upcoming Sunday, I called up a few friends to conform if they are ready for a short trip. Only 4 (2 Bikes) of us were ready, since I informed them on a very short notice (10 PM on Saturday).
We finalized to go visit Lepakhshi Temple, Andhra Pradesh via Nandi Hills, Bangalore. Since the entry through check-post is only allowed after 6 AM, I decided to start by 5 from K R Puram. The other group was supposed to join me at Nandi Hills.
Below is the route map we took.
One who was supposed to come with me surrendered to sleep, leaving me pretty happy since I like to ride alone
. As per schedule we reached there by 6 AM. Considering the crowd there, it took us an hour to clear to the check-post after document verification.
Below is the view from the check-post at the foothill of Nandi Hills.
On the way to the top.
Reached the top by 07:30 AM, parked bikes, took the tickets. Saw a bunch of Pulsar 200 NS parked in front of the ticket counter.
Small pond at the top.
Few random snaps while heading up.

Can you spot the blue house in the above picture?
Spent around 2 hours there, had coffee, headed down, had breakfast and then headed towards Lepakshi by 10:30 AM.
Took a few random snaps on the way.
Reached Lepakshi village by 1 PM. Headed toward Nandi. Around 80 Km from Nandi Hills.
There was a small garden, took a small break, rested over there for 15 mins. Lepakshi temple is just a few meters from Nandi.
Hello!?
Stopped at some Dhaba for lunch ne Bagepalli. Just before sitting on the bike to head back home, I noticed the flat tyre. Luckily there was a puncher shop close-by.
Puncher repair guy din't find any punchure, except the tube around the nozzle got cut, no idea how that happened
.
We reached Chikbalapur by 07:30 PM. I headed to K R Puram via Devanhalli. Just before reaching Devanhalli, heavy rain started. I decided to take a break after reaching Devanhalli and let the rain stop. Waited there for more than two hours with no sign of stopping. Decided to ride anyway. Half way home the rain almost stopped, reached home by 10 PM.
