  • A day Trip to BR hills & Mekedaatu

    After completing 1st service I was looking for a place to take Duke for a trip. Friday evening decided to head towards BR Hills.After begging lot of friends for a company only Manju agreed to join me. Saturday morning started @6:00 am. Just a day before I had purchased my new riding jacket(Spartan Helios). After passing city limits we were crusing easliy @100+ on Kanakapura road. I had removed the rin liner and started to shiver then I realized what a netted riding jacket is. Reached Kollegal @ 8:00 am .Had break fast and started towards hills.This time decide to take a village route to reach BR hills as one of the local guy told this route is shorter than highway route. The route was very scenic, passed thru lot of villages and entered forest. The was route was awesome with lots of twists & turns. Duke truely enjoyed every inch of the corners and was cruising without any signs of instabilty. Afte climbing hills we visited the temple and took rest for 30 mins. We headed back to Kanakapura adn took a deviation towards Sangama. Place was exteremely hot. We had lunch, crossed river Cauvery and took a bus to Mekedatu. Makadatu is full of rocky valley carved out by River Cauvery. The place dry and hardly any water. The so called educated youth, I dont how they call themselves educated were throwing plastic bottles into river. I request all Xbhpians to be responsible when never leave any trails of plastic where ever they go. We started from Mekedatu by 4:30 and reached home by 5:45.

      Great pics. BR Hills seems to have gained some greenery compared to the last time I had been there i.e early Feb this year.

              Nice ride [MENTION=12912]suresh[/MENTION] on Duke.

              I dont how they call themselves educated were throwing plastic bottles into river.
              .

              Where ever I go out, I put the plastic bottles or bags in my back pack or in car(travelling by car) and dispose it off in the dust bins.

              Right, It's our country and our place. We should keep it clean.

              Thanks for sharing.
