As a biker and wanderer we always look for less explored terrains. The joy of conquering such places is only known to a biker enthusiast.

While searching for the unusual, less explored places in karnataka, I pounced upon lot of places. One such place being Mattur: India's last Sanskrit speaking village, located at a distance of 15 Kms from Shimoga.

Mattur. A village with one foot in the Vedic times and another in the 21st century, Mattur is one of the very few places in the world where residents still converse in the classical language of Sanskrit. It is not unusual to see a group of elders reciting Vedic hymns by the riverside while a couple of young men flaunting their mobile phones as they converse
in the ancient language. Even young children playing cricket in the ground speak Sanskrit.

So I had to reach mattur before the sunset as I had promised Acharya Kirana Avadhani to meet him at 5:30 P.M. However the beautiful country side caused some delay which was totally worth it.
