The highest waterfall in India are situated at a distance of around 100 Km from Shimoga City. Though the distance is long, but traveling to the falls is worth you every minute.<b> </b><br />
<br />
Located on the banks of Tunga River, the fertile land of Shimoga had been a coveted booty for most of the great kingdoms of Karnataka. The name of the city is derived from the term Shiva-Mukha, meaning Face of Shiva<br />
<br />
The Jog falls is created by the Sharavati river tumbling down from a height of 829ft. (253m) in four distinct cascades - known locally as Raja, Rani, Roarer, and Rocket.<br />

Soon, he started killing the innocent lives on the earth and set out to win the seven lokas, and acquired the swarglok. Even the three mighty Gods of the Hindu Trinity - Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva were unable to defeat him. Therefore, all the Gods, including the Hindu Trinity, united their supreme powers and created a divine being called Shakti or Durga, the Warrior Goddess.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
This garden was further developed by Hyder Ali’s son Tipu Sultan and subsequently by the British and Indian doyens of horticulture by extension of area and addition of a number of plant species. Today, the garden is a lush green paradise with an area of 240 acres in the heart of the city.<br />

Best place to forget everything and to have a great time which offers all kinds of fun and food :)<br />
Goa Beaches, white sand, The shacks at the beaches, Water sports all makes it a best Holiday!!! The best time to go is during Christmas and New Year but we planned to visit Goa during the Carnival in Feb..<br />

The culture of Goa is a blend of Indian and Iberian: European style central squares and Indian bazaars, Portuguese churches sharing their walls with Hindu temples.You ll get to see everything here!!<br />

We visited 2 churches around that place "Monte Hill Chapel, Margao and Monte Benaulim Chapel" both of which are calm place away the city...<br />
<br />

The shacks there make it a beautiful place to dine ... ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5X4kUHR4qI/AAAAAAAABIE/MevGJg2UQo8/s1600-h/IMG_4987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5X4kUHR4qI/AAAAAAAABIE/MevGJg2UQo8/s320/IMG_4987.JPG" /></a></div>Day 2 had lots of plans!!! After a morning walk at the beach we started with Old Goa Churches which is 9Km east of Panjim... The churches in Goa largely reflect European architectural styles.Some of the old buildings are converted into museums maintained by Archaeological Survey of India.<br />
<br />
In Old Goa the most famous church is the "Basilica of Bom Jesus". This is located on the right side of the Cathedral and was built in the 16th Century. A massive structure of Basilica of Bom Jesus is popularly known as the Church of St. Francis Xavier, the Patron saint of Goa, whose body was placed in the new silver casket and the remains are enshrined here.<br />
<br />

The fort of Chapora, is 25kms from Panaji.Vagator beach is situated at the back of this Fort. It gives a magnificient beatiful view of the beach from the fort...<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5X559H6O4I/AAAAAAAABIo/Ihq8MctA-0s/s1600-h/IMG_5145.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5X559H6O4I/AAAAAAAABIo/Ihq8MctA-0s/s200/IMG_5145.JPG" width="200" /></a><br />
By the time we had the best of Chapora fort it was time to go back to Panaji/Panjim for the "Goa Carnival 2010" The Goa Carnival festival is held every year in the month of February and lasts for three days.It is one of the eagerly awaited events of the year and tourists visit from all places for this carnival. The Carnival of Goa is the time to indulge in feasting, drinking and merry making. Goa comes to life due to a multi-cultural essence.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5Yedg0ssGI/AAAAAAAABJs/si6Zr5AfluM/s1600-h/IMG_5254.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S5Yedg0ssGI/AAAAAAAABJs/si6Zr5AfluM/s320/IMG_5254.JPG" /></a></div>The carnival starts with a magnificent display of colorful floats. Floats, parades, bands, balls and dances together symbolize the Goa Carnival. Groups of masked revelers dressed in dazzling costumes sing and dance to the tunes of the renowned musicians.<br />
<br />
The day ended with all the memories of carnival.. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
The last day in Goa and we had to make the most of it!! The beach offers various water sports which includes parasailing, Banana boat ride, Jet Ski ride and Ring O ride :) :)<br />

Its 5 kms from Muttatti which is a known picnic spot.<br />
<br />
Weekend retreat to this calm place amidst the forest is rare to find.Jungle lodges is located right next to the Cauvery river and they offer different kinds of stay starting from tents to log huts and cottages.<br />
<br />
We chose to go for log hut, Feels close to nature ;) and its located right next to the river bank.<br />
Jungle lodges link : <a href="http://www.junglelodges.com/V2/Bheemeshwari.htm">http://www.junglelodges.com/V2/Bheemeshwari.htm</a><br />
<br />
We started from Bangalore after breakfast and reached the place easily in 2 hours. The calm beauty and perfect weather makes it best for weekend. Not reachable cell phones added to it... :)<br />

Coracle ride is one of the attraction and its included in the package. We also tried out Kayaking which drained out all our energy but worth a try.. Sunset with coracle ride is worth a watch !! <br />

Adventure sports also offers Flying Fox(zipping) which was something new we tried out in this trip..<br />

With this we ended our trip and packed our bags back to Bangalore to start a new week with all the good memories :)<br />

<br />
Madalpatti is 35 - 40 Kms from Madikeri Coorg.<br />
We started from my native which is Somwarpet. Its around 30Kms from Somwarpet and you get a deviation to Mandalpatti.From there is around 16Kms to Madalpetti. So totally 46Kms to Mandalpatti.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S2Gbo-JXFKI/AAAAAAAAA8U/AP0ORdYN3Ow/s1600-h/IMG_3846.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S2Gbo-JXFKI/AAAAAAAAA8U/AP0ORdYN3Ow/s320/IMG_3846.JPG" /></a></div>The road is good till the deviation. After that its a little bad in patches. But you will forget that when you see the beauty of the place :)<br />
There is a forest office where you need to buy a ticket to go up till the view point.. The view is breathtaking from there... <br />
<br />

There is no other place to eat there, So need to pack food from home...<br />

<br />
Ranganathittu is 120Kms from Bangalore close to Srirangapatna.<br />
We started early in the morning as its best to be there early. We had a break at Kamat as usual for breakfast. But as we were really early we did not have much of a choice for breakfast ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S0xPsLM7ezI/AAAAAAAAAqM/BrQS00UxxNQ/s1600-h/IMG_3264.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OGWboQ25zuc/S0xPsLM7ezI/AAAAAAAAAqM/BrQS00UxxNQ/s320/IMG_3264.JPG" /></a></div>We reached Ranganathittu at 8:30. Well the place opens by 8 in morning. We could hire a boat there and he will take us around in a row boat explaining us all about the birds.The boat ride is of 30 - 40 mins.There is small island sort of in the middle of the lake where we can view the birds.<br />
<br />
Most common migratory birds include painted storks, open billed storks, white ibis, darters, spoonbills and night herons. winter is the best time to visit when it is full of migratory birds.<br />

Calm place to relax on a weekend :)<br />
<br />
Reaching there is easy... its around 150 km from <i>Bangalore </i>to drive... We chose to go by train till Jolarpet by the <i>Bangalore</i>-<i>Jolarpettai</i> Express<b>...</b><br />
From there we hired a qualis to ride us till the resort. The drive from the station is beautiful and scenic, winding roads takes you to the top!!!<br />

Our first place of visit was the LAKE which is a 15mins walk from the resort.<br />
The sunset was a breathtaking view and a walk around the lake gives a glimse of best of nature.<br />
Boating is also an attraction there. You can opt for pedal or row boating :)<br />
<br />

The resort has beautiful gardens and ducks walking around. We tried photography in and around the resort.<br />
<br />
The next morning we all woke up early for the trek.It was a 1km long trek which opens up to a beautiful valley. Early morning is the best time to trek as the view is awesome with all the clouds around :) After spending a lot of time experiencing the beauty of the valleys we headed down where our breakfast was waiting ;)<br />
<br />
We had a great time playing Cricket, Baddy , TT and of course the swing in the park which reminds us of all the childhood stories ;)<br />

Kalpetta, the district headquarters of Wayanad is a natural beauty in itself.Bangalore (Karnataka) to Kalpetta (Kerala) is 277 km and takes approx 5 hrs to reach, The drive is also enjoyable and very scenic :)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We set out from Bangalore at 6 in the morning... After a coffee break at Kamat we reaches Nanjangud for Breakfast.The drive after this is beautiful and very scenic.</div>

The water is clear and the foliage that surrounds it is a beautiful forest. Boating is a nice thing to do there and also can shop for home made chocolates :)</div>

Finally we headed back to our resort "Royal Palms Residency" :) After a long night sleep we were all set for Chembra peak the next day.<br />

Its located near the town of Meppady and is 14 km west of Kalpetta.You can get a guide at the bottom of the hill. Will be lucky if you get a English speaking guide.Well we were not quite lucky in that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The trek started with a nice small walk along the tea gardens. Its a 5 hours trek so need to plan well. The first point to reach is the heart shaped lake and then after that one more hour of trek and you reach the top!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The view is breathtaking and the valleys look awesome.. Its a different world altogether.The pictures say it ALL!!!</div>
