  • [Photo Feature]: Twin Rocks of Thimmappana Betta - Unexplored Hill

    You might have seen my earlier post about Narayanagiri and while on our way we noticed an interesting twin rocks on our right. If you notice in the video, my friend points towards it at 01:11(https://youtu.be/CSKtYmYamas?t=72). We decided then itself that while coming back we will explore that place. At that point, we thought it would be a just rock structure and we would visit as near as possible. So while coming back, we asked the villagers about that place. Took a while to make them understand what exactly we were asking, they guided us on the route. They also told there is a road which leads to it.

    So took few turns keeping the rock in sight we rode towards it. To our surprise, the roads were ultra smooth and clean. And when we reached the top, there was even a temple. It's a pact of me and Canute that if we visit any hill, we would go to the top. And if there is any least possible way of riding there, then we are going to push it! One more perks of having naked bike . Seeing that 'ridable' rock, we just had to glance at each other to make the decision! Up you go!

    And that happiness when you explore something new is so much evident from the video itself so I won't say anything more! We knew the risk(face the wrath of angry villagers) of taking the bike to the top, however once we go there, we were ready to face the consequences. Such a beauty it was!

    The hill is called as 'Thimmappana Betta' and the temple as 'Thimmappa Swamy Temple'. I have added them in the google maps now. So search for Thimmappa Swamy Temple should get you there!

    So enjoy these pics. Pic credits to Sandesh Mavinakuli
