BURUDE FALLS


I can say this is one of the dangerous falls of Uttara Kannada District. The journey goes through the dense forests of Siddapura Taluk. It is suggested not to take kids if you plan to go. So many people died here before.


We started from Sagara on a fine morning at 9 AM. Just 2 hours drive took us to a village, where the trek starts. We parked our car and started heading down. You will​ find a small cottage, and here the trek begins. Remember, you need to climb down a steep hill.


The distance is just 2-3KM's , but the steep is too shallow. The first phase of the trek could be made by the concrete steps. Then the real struggle begins. As I said earlier, it is too steep, so better not to hold others hands while heading down.


We started heading down, and one of us who knew this place better lead us. I was really shocked to see the steep. At a point of time, it seemed just almost impossible to get down. But the urge to see the falls gave us power and with a strong mind we started climbing down.


Really, it was an amazing experience I have ever had. Though it was tough getting down, we really enjoyed it. However, we managed to get down and it just seemed like the heaven was waiting for us down!!.
We came to the bottom of the falls. Yeah! We did it. The joy of completing a task which we thought of impossible cannot be explained. The roaring sound of the gigantic falls was hitting our ears. As it was just the end of the rainy season, there was much water, which added a cup more beauty for the falls.


We took a rest for a while. Some of us got busy in taking pictures and three of us started heading to the bottom of the falls. But due to the heavy flow, we couldn't do that.


They were still busy in taking photos, and we went to the other end of the falls. There you could see the entire surrounding covered by the greenery. The second step of Burude falls could be found here. It was impossible to get down, so we came back. After spending some valuable time, we started climbing up. It wasn't much difficult to climb up.


It took us more than half an hour to climb down. But to climb up, it just took us a few couple of minutes. Carry enough water and some snacks with you. We were completely exhausted, but the mesmerising memories took us back home alive!!.


HOW TO REACH:



ROADWAYS: Depending on public transport is a bad idea, so better take your personal vehicle. It is situated at a distance of 29KM's from Siddapura town.

In between Siddapura and Kumta road you will get a village named Kyadgi after driving for around 22KM's, and from there take a right diversion to go for another 5 KM's. After parking your vehicle, start climbing down.


RAILWAYS: The nearest railway is situated at a distance of 75KM's in Kumta city. And Talguppa railway station at a distance of 45KM's.



AIRWAYS: The nearest airport is situated at a distance of 130KM's in Hubballi.

             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...
