A trip around the linganamakki backwaters on a 2 wheeler (Pulsar 150) with my wife. Not any kind of 'trip' type travel, but had to visit couple of relative's houses. Left home @ Hosalli on 22nd Jan, and came back on 23rd Jan, 2011.
The road which we took looks something like http://goo.gl/maps/sd0q but from Nittor to Sagar, there is a short cut, which goes on ferry @ place called 'Hasiru makki'.
It was almost a 200kms journey and all through it was green. We missed my enfield for its comfort of long drive. Other than that, the trip was nice.
