Trip to Mangalore and Bekal fort

One of the places to go for a short trip from bangalore is mangalore. The journey is something that needs to be experienced, driving through the western ghats of karnataka, especially during the monsoon time, is out of this place!

Rain, small waterfalls on the side of the roads, curvy road, greenery and the nature's smell are some of the things that one would enjoy while travelling here. Words are not enough to express the feeling you get while travelling through the western ghats!

Here is a video that gives a glimpse of the journey and the places:


So the plan was to go on a road trip to Mangaluru and from there to Bekal fort and then back to Bengaluru, This can be done in a weekend, best would be if we have at least 3 days. Good getaway from the busy Blr lifestyle! Good places to go during the rainy season/monsoon season.

We followed Google maps for the route.

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes...  Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
