NAGARA

Nagara is a small town in Hosnagara taluk of Shivamogga district. The fort is built on a small hill. The fragrance of the history is spread allover the fort. It was called by the name Bidnur during the 16th century. Situated at a roadside of state highway, this charming fort attracts many number of tourists.
 
  I had a visit on my way back to home. There weren't many people. Hardly I was able to find only a few couple of visitors there. The fort is built on a small hill beside a small lake. It was around 4 in the evening. I started to climb top as soon as I reached there. The top view was refreshing and this adorable fort filled me with the sence of serenity. The construction of the fort on a small hilltop was mesmerizing.

I was able to find many similarities between Nagara fort and Kavaledurga fort, later I discovered that both the forts had been ruled by Shivappa nayaka, the Keladi ruler.  It was the last capital city of Keladi rulers. Later in 1763, the place was acquired by Hyder Ali , the king of Mysore.
 
The fort will be covered by green grasses at the time of monsoon season. On the hill you can find the remains of fort, a broken old canon, darbar hall, Akka Tangi kola. The place is hidden inside the lush green forests of western ghats. I had a nice time, and hope you will have the same✌.

HOW TO REACH:
ROADWAYS:  The fort can be reached by public transport. It is situated at a walkable distance from the Nagara bus stand. It is situated at a distance of 17 KM's from Hosnagara town and 84 KM's from Shivamogga town.

RAILWAYS: The nearest railway station is situated in Shivamogga at a distance of 84 KM's.

             BALEBARE GHAT           -CHANDIKESHWARI TEMPLE            -BALEBARE GHAT    Befoe visiting this place, I had heard from many people that , this is a holy place and people visit here from far away places to perform pujas. I was amazed when one of my cousin also gave me  review about this temple (actually he won't believe in superstitions and worships). Normally I travel through the Balebari/Hulikal Ghat(where this temple is situated) to my home (Sagara) from Udupi. I was stunned to see that all the vehicles which passes through this Ghat were stopping there for a while. Even our bus stopped there, and conductor collected kanike (money given by devotees to temple)from us and returned back with kunkuma (a red powder for religious markings in India). Later I got to know from the local people that this is the strongest god which saves the traveller ,who travel by t...

THE MAYURAVANA HOMESTAY                                  Situated in the foothills of the Chandradrona hill station and surrounded by the coffee estates, the two day stay gave us a heavenly experience. It is situated in the village named Mallenahalli which is 12 Km's from Chikkamagaluru town. The village itself has many myths and stories behind it. The host told that the Giris (hills, particularly mullayanagiri, Bababudangiri, Seetalayyanagiri and Deviramana betta) gives birth to many water source which runs through their village, and that medicinal powers of the water are absorbed in the land. So it is a kind of spiritual place. And he also told that no one dies of snakebite in that village. It was evening when we reached there, we were welcomed by a warm coffee and some homemade snacks. Later after freshen up , the host took us for a estate walk. The estate is spread over 12 acr...
