Mysore
- KR Nagar - Hassan - Belur - Aldur - BaleHonnur - Sringeri - Agumbe - Manipal - Vandse - Kunadpur - Udupi - karkala - Charmadi - Mudigere - Gonebidu - Belur - Mysore



Started of from Mysore at around 10:30 - 11 am. Reached Hassan by Noon, had our lunch and set off again to Agumbe.

We reached a place somewhere near Aldur and there was a junction. There were no sign boards indicating the route to Balehonnur. And there were 3 villagers standing there.

So we asked them, All 3 of them showed us 3 different directions!!!All perpendicular to each other. As soon as they realised that all of them were showing different directions, they finally concluded on one direction.
My Bro and me and a good hearty laugh.

Petrol from here to Aldur = 500 Rs.
Lunch in Hassan = 200 Rs.

The look on the face of the villagers, PRICELESS!!!

We reached Agumbe, about half an hour or so before sunset.
Lovely sunset. You can see green lands for miles together.

All set for the sunset, and there are a bunch of people with SLR's.
They are focusing the heck out the sun.

And here I go and pull out my bro's Sony Erickson W550i, 1.3MP camera.

My bro was embarrassed beyond doubt. If he'd been alone, he just might have thrown the phone down the cliff.

After this we set out to Manipal. Met Hemanth and enjoyed the night.

Talked a lot. I should be doing that a lot less.
Just felt that I really talked too much.

Left Manipal at noon, is my guess.

The bike had a problem at a place near Kollur, Our plan was to go to Kodachadri, which unfortunaltely didn't happen.
So somehow got hold of a mechanic, who told us that the gasket needed to be changed.

Since the day being a sunday, and the shops bein closed. Sorry No gasket.

So we left the bike in the garage and settled down in Kundapur.

On MOnday Morning, the mechanic got the bike ready and we left Kundapur at around noon,
reached Mysore at around 11:30 pm.


So much for our 3 days of holidays.


Highlights of the Trip:

The look on the face of the 3 villagers.
The look on the face of my brother in Agumbe in front of all the SLR's.
