Humcha, Hosanagara trip with School friends - 2014 Jan 18th and 19th.

Distance : 789km
Time : ~33hrs (2pm on 18th left BLR, came back by 11pm on 19th)
Vehicle: Innova (I drove the full stretch)
People : 7-8 (one got added for return trip)



It was overall fun as the trip was mostly about talking 20 year old stories of school days.

Stayed at Prakash's home @ Humcha. Attended Punith's wedding @ Kargadi (karanagiri). Visited temples of Humcha, and Backwater @ Kargadi. Took a motorboat ride. Overall a fun trip.

Bheemeshwara - 2014 Jan 3rd

This was done as a trip to take my wife out on her birthday. I had heard about the place a lot of times, but never had got a chance to visit it even though it was < 60kms from my native.

This time, as I was jobless, made sure I have time for visiting this place. Went there with my wife, son, a cousin (Pooja) and aunt (Anita). Had taken food from home, but if one needs, the priest's family can prepare the food.

It is one of the really nice/calm place at the core of western ghats.

Enjoyed the trip! and bath in the cold, serene water of Bheemeshwara.
