White water rafting at Dandeli

Image
Who : Ravi ,Suchi ,Amit ,Priyanka,Guru,Dakshina When : Nov 24th -25th 2007 Dandeli is a very small town 57kms from Dharwar and 95 kms from Belgaum. Although I have stayed most of my life in Belgaum,i never knew there was so much beauty so closeby waiting to be explored.The very idea of travelling from bangalore seems stupid,but we did it .. Dandeli can boast of dense ,moist decidious forests and the gr8 river Kali flowing across it. The town has very little to write abt ,but around the town there are a lot of resorts and nature camps --jungle lodges,bison resort,kulgi nature camp ..Also the Kavalla caves,Ullavi temple,Supa Dam,Syntheri rocks are other places of interest ... You can find a lot of info abt these on other sites .. What we enjoyed there was the river rafting and the leech ridden forest trek !!The first splash against the chilly waters to feel one with it ,the ride on the rapids,the "full servicing" as the local guide called it ,the adrenalin rush as we rowed upst...

Melukote is an ideal 1 day weekend getaway /picnic spot for bangalore dwellers. It has become famous after the song "Barso Re" from the film "Guru" was shot here. Thank you Rani for suggesting this place.Melukote is still a calm,quiet non crowded,unexplored place relatively.I hope it stays that way. Guru has mailed me the details and i am adding it here .

Monday blues

After a lovely visit to Bgm ,meeting up with friends at Peenk's and Anand's wedding,some great time spent with the family coming back to office is nothing to look fwd to ! Ah ! i wish could spend all my life in Belgaum :Cleaner,greener ,peaceful and serene ,at home .. But I woke up in the bus to the sound of honking vehicles and knew -- yes I am closer to the much hyped 'IT city' /Garden City of India ... It's really a bad start of the day to wake up like this,then bargain and fight with the autowallah ,feel cheated and then u realize u also have to go to office .. The whole day in office ,i kept reflecting to myself as to is this what i wanted in life .Have we spent all our lives to reach here .Strangely this is what we wanted -well paid jobs in a software company ,living in bangalore -- now i have it all ...And i dont want it.. Deep in my heart i know i dont like it. They say that think carefully what u wish for --You may actually get it --Then there's no l...
