TALASI ABBI FALLS


We started from Udupi hoping to see the Kunchikal falls,which is the least explored falls of India. We didn't have any idea about the whereabouts of falls. when we reached Mastikatte, local people told us that entry is prohibited since many years. There were 2 reasons for the prohibition of the entry,
1) This falls comes under Varahi Hydro-electric project.
2) There are many Naxalites in that area.

But locals told us to visit Talasi Abbi falls which was just 8 KM's drive from Mastikatte village. With a dissatisfied face we started towards Talasi Abbi falls.

Roads were covered by thick green forests. We took a left diversion from Yeduru village after riding for 6 KM's. I was happy to find very less people there, just because we could enjoy our time for a while without any disturbance. The road wasn't confusing us. It's a straight road, we took another left diversion after seeing a sign board.

It was 1 KM's from here and only bikes can go till the end as the road is too narrow to take a car. The journey ends after a nice bumpy ride. We could hear the sound from a little far distance. And this sound made us clear that it wasn't a small one.

Finally, we were at the top and for god's sake, this falls failed to disappoint us!!. It was afternoon and the weather was still cool. With no time we started heading down. It didn't take us much time to climb down. It's a seasonal falls and better to visit soon after the monsoon.

We were happy to find no people there except us. The thick forests of western ghats enhances the beauty of the falls. We found a place to swim, and spent around an hour. The time we spent was worth of it.

We started our return journey. On our return journey we visited Chandikeshwari temple and Balebare falls.

             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...
