Sharavathi Valley - 1

We started from Bangalore around 10 PM from our own vehicle. Anticipating a better experience in mind and lot of excitement our journey halted after a couple of hours to get rid of flattened tire.





But nobody had any foul thought on this. And journey resumed after a cup of tea from a so called Hotel.  

The morning mist on the way to shimoga was awesome, feeling the coolness we headed to Shimoga.










And we started heading to Shimoga, and reached there by around 8-8.45 AM, where we met our guide Mr. Narayan.
Parked our vehicle, and had a decent breakfast arranged by our guide, started ascending by around 10 AM. Here are some of the pics





And we got to see a porcupine’s thorn, a bird eggs on that rocky hill just before entering the forest.









Then started an amazing grassland area, where we all rested for some time, as the mountain was at an altitude where everybody started calling their well wishers of their whereabouts, because after this you can’t find any network till dusk.












Then we entered the forest area with climbing rocks and descending on the steep regions at an angle almost 70 Degree. After 6 hours of trek, we halted at a fall for bathing and the lunch was prepared by the cook bought by our guide.





Again resuming after lunch, we started towards a place “Basavan Bai” (Bulls Mouth) which was another 4 hours of trek. Here is the glimpse








Had a sumptuous meal prepared by the local cook. Still remember the taste... YUMMY. We finally laid down in our tents





Will post more....
