Hidlumane falls. Is it Hitlumane or Hidlumane? The former word has a meaning, but most of them pronounced it as Hidlumane. What’s in a name after all?

Trek to Kodachadri

A shot of the sprawling grasslands one gets to see while climbing down Kodachadri. You will miss these if you take the jeep track.

It’s always beautiful when its bare.

Trek to Kodachadri

Sunrise from Kodachadri - this guy made us wait for almost an hour. It was 6:48 am by the time we could catch the first glimpse. Most Sunday mornings, I wouldn’t have bothered to get off my bed.

Phew! Nice catch. Being drenched in sweat, I had almost ignored these beauties.

Actually, you should envy Goutham. He was the one who went on the trek, although I will be dragging him to do it again.

Hi Bharath. Sure I remember you. We also discussed about Avi’s driving behavior! You need to make time man. Small pleasures in life.
