Day two log


26th, Monday

We were all set to leave around 9, bid good bye and we decided to take the second route to ross the stream this time, aunt send one of the servent to help us. As it was Solar eclipse, we had to listen to lot of things from every one for making the trip

So we need to cross this, looks simple but aint simple

So here is how I did it,


Till kavu the roads were good with good view,

Small bridge





Road to kavu

We reached navnish friends place around 11:30, we had tea and went to see there estate, beautiful place they got. They stay very close to kerala border, the estate start in Karnataka and ends in Kerala.

Stream that seaprates Karnataka and Kerala

The estate had all kinds of spices, the had rubber plantation and honey keeping.

Navnish friend explained us out how all this is done, man i was so much scared, we were told to not make any fast moments and dont wave hands at bees, so even if it bit we should not get rid of it very quickly we needed to do it very slowly. I got a video of this.

We had the chance to taste pure honey,


Wandered around the estate for some time, we saw some unique species plant, one of them was "All spice plant" when i tasted the leave, it had the flavor of all the spices.

We had our lunch after this and left to visit some temple which was built before 6th century


We reached the temple around 1:30 PM by the time it was closed because of the solar eclipse, no one was there so it was all ours,


Then navnish friend went back to his place and we headed towards hassan.


Next 70 kms was beautiful ghat section with beautiful roads, at one place we took a wrong diversion and headed towards Mangalore but we were just 10 kms ahead of the diversion. We hit the shiradi ghats which are the worst it took us more than 1 hour to cover the 20 kms stretch. Reached hassan by 5 PM, we stopped at the coffee day in the Bangalore-Hassan highway, spent some time there and left at 6 PM, reached home by 9 PM.

At the end what a ride it was, 750 kms which showed me everything from beautiful roads to no roads. 200 kms of ghat roads. Had a chance to see how rubber sheets are manufactured, tasted pure honey, spent two days with nature thats all i can say
