It is situated approximately 100 kms from Bengaluru towards Chikkaballapura. Avalabetta is famous for the view from top of the hill and there is a Narasimha temple at the top of the hill.</span></span></div>

Few of my friends came to my place on 25th night itself as it would be easy to start the early morning. We had planned to go by TT(Tempo Traveller) as there were more girls in our gang than guys.</span></span></div>

It was 5 AM by the time we left Bangalore. We reached Devanahalli by 6.00 AM and we stopped there for a quick tea break as our driver wanted to take a break and reached the final destination (Avalabetta) by 7.15. It was cool and we were waiting for the Sun to come up as it was a cloudy cloudy day. We took pictures near the famous spot and started to the top of the hill to take few more snaps. Thanks to Anup and AK for the wonderful snaps.</span></span></div>

The temple is surrounded by many pillars and the great Culpture. Back to Photo session for some time and had cucumbers for more than RS 100.

But as it was too late we ended up having Dosa, Bonda soup and tea/Coffee. We also thought of going to Nandi hills as it is on the way to Bangalore. But we were not sure whether we could make it before 6. And finally we went to Nandi Hills as well. But it was too crowded as it was a National Holiday. Some pics at Nandi hills and we headed towards Bangalore and reached back home by 9.00 PM.</span></span></div>

It all started with our previous trip to Chickmagalur. Our cousins, who unfortunately could not join our July trip to chickmagalur, came up with the idea of an only cousins trip.<br />
Next was the voting process(Thanks to Whatsapp group) for the place, we decided to head to Dandeli which is around 460Kms from Bangalore for couple of days in December. But similar to most of our trips, we tried to convince as many people as possible to join us. We ended up changing our travelling date & destination to much nearer Sakleshpura.<br />
<br />
After months of planning, excitement and numerous dropouts(7 of us somehow hanged in), finally it was time to relax and have some fun. It was a much needed break.<br />
<br />
Day 1: We decided to start around 3 AM, hoping that our Tempo Traveler (TT) will arrive on time and all of us will be ready. But ours was a group that doesn't believe in waking up early. Adding to the group's joy, the vehicle arrived late.<br />
Apparently one of the group member couldn't sleep whole night(Typical for a first timer. :-)). She even tried to wake the sleepy group with a 2 AM Good Morning message.<br />
<br />
Finally we started around 3.45 AM and as usual our Kantha (Name changed) had arranged the vehicle, that was below our expectation. Seating facility was bad and Audio system was neither detecting our USB drive drive nor had a good audio adding to this was the driver’s crappy playlist. Surprisingly the vehicle had some crazy lights. It looked as though a retro pub had directly jumped out of an old Bollywood movie.<br />
<br />
Because of the early dawn some of us were hungry within half an hour of our journey. So we took tea break & couple of group clicks as well. One major decision made was to select the best camera to tend our photographic needs.<br />
<br />
Next pit stop was Kamath Upachar near Hassan for break fast. It was worth spending extra bucks for those really good Idlis & crispy Vadas. Believe us they were really good. We are from Udupi, so we know our Idlis & Dosas.<br />
After a few more random pics and with the help of some people of the local villages we finally reached our reserved Home stay MakkiThitta(Best available one with our budget constraints) around 10.00 AM.<br />
<br />
We were welcomed by Home stay owners Tejpal uncle (Known for his Card tricks) & ever smiling Aunty with Coffee (Made from their estate grown Coffee beans). We relaxed till afternoon accompanied with some Badminton and a round of jibber jabber. We had our lunch around 1.00 PM which included mostly South Indian dishes like rasam, sambar, rice & fried rice which were lip smacking. By the way they cook only Vegetarian food & this was one of the reasons we selected this home-stay.<br />
<br />
It was time to get wet & dirty. We jumped into the Mud Volley ball court (Must say it looked pretty unique, moreover we don’t find something like that in the city). Initially we were a little hesitant to get in but once we started playing, there was no looking back. We spent a couple of hours playing there before heading to the nearby water stream for cleanup. After having tea in the evening it was time to enjoy Sun set. We climbed the nearby coffee plantation to click a few more snaps during sunset.<br />
<br />
The Temperature started dropping as we came back to the Home stay. Weather was just perfect to enjoy Campfire & we wasted no time in getting music going as well. No better way to relax than campfire with some hot bajjis(chilly & banana), spicy music & some local(Annamma) steps.<br />
<br />
Again it was time for some delicious food, as roti, sambar & spicy chutney(Missed mentioning it in Lunch menu) was waiting for us. After dinner we gathered to showcase our card playing expertise, but it never took off, we were just eager to hit the bed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Day 2: : As planned earlier our day started by 6.30 AM .We were completely charged up for a memorable day & thankfully it turned out to be one. After savouring some hot coffee we started the day playing Badminton, in fact it turned out to be a tournament & one of us was seriously showing off some skills and not to mention got a little too aggressive as well :-). Probably the trip away from the city caught the sportsman in him.<br />
<br />
<br />
Breakfast at 9.00 was just what we needed. We had Pulav & a typical local dish made of rice flour (Not sure how to describe this typical Malnad dish. Its called Pundigatti in local language). After some discussion with Uncle on our day’s plan, we decided to trek a hill which was 15Kms from the home stay.<br />
Around 10.30 AM we started the trek. Not a tough one [no steep hills]. It was a nice place for some quality cousin time & to burn out the camera memory. In no time photography and modelling skills were all on the way.<br />
<br />
There was a small Bhyraveshwara(Lord Eshwara) temple below where we had parked our vehicle & it was clearly visible from the top just to guide us in getting down.<br />
This temple is around 700 years old. It is constructed only with the help of stones. Its a beautiful place to sit and relax.<br />
<br />
It was not a typical winter day with Mercury level rising to high twenties as we headed down. On the way we decided to visit the waterfall, actually it disappointed us as we could not drench ourselves, thanks to the shitty area around it :-(<br />
<br />
Thinking about the menu for lunch, we reached our place. And it was not disappointing, we had some hot parota's, rice, sambar & watermelon. We even asked for the previous days leftover Spicy chutney...<br />
<br />
We decided to skip Manjarabad Fort which was a part of our initial plan, as some of us had visited it earlier. After some post lunch chit chat, we hit the mud volleyball court one last time. This time the mud field had more water that was enough to tempt us. We even displayed some Kabbaddi skills, that only meant to pull down every one to the water. Hands down, it was the most memorable moment of the trip..<br />
We had to leave the muddy court, though unwillingly, to the water stream for the final cleanup. This was followed by Aunty hosting us with coffee & some hot bhajjis one last time.<br />
We wrapped up the trip by thanking Mr. And Mrs. Tejpal for their hospitality and yes, settling the bills as well.<br />

Kumara Parvatha is located in the Somwarpet taluk of Kodagu district. One can view Kumara Parvatha from kukke Subramanya. The greenery behind the temple which we can see is non other than kumara Parvatha.<br />
<br />
We started here (Bangalore) on friday night 9.00 PM i.e 3rd of October 2014 from Majestic bus stand and reached Subramanya on 4th morning 5.00 AM. After freshen up, a quick visit to the temple and a breakfast before we start the trek.<br />
<br />
We reached the starting point of the trek around 9 AM. Started with enthusiasm. It takes almost 3 and half to 4 hours to reach the famous "Bhattara Mane" which is 6.5 kms from the starting point. You will find Unlimited rice, Sambar and butter milk for 90 Rs.<br />
<br />
We started the second stage of the trek around 2.30 PM and reached Mantapa which is 2 km from Bhatara Mane and we decided to halt there that night. The complete silence makes us a bit scare.<br />
<br />
We decide to get up early morning by 5.30 and start to trek by 7. We reached Sheshaparvatha at 8.30 AM. Take few pics of the nature which is just covered with greenery and mist. There is a thick forest to reach the final destination Kumara Parvatha and we reach there by 9.30 AM. <br />
<br />
Again we start Kumara Parvatha by 10.30 AM and back to Bhattara Mane by 1.30 PM for the pucca Lunch. As we were tired, decided to rest for some time and started by 4 from Bhattara Mane. As soon as we started from Bhattara Mane, the thunder and lightning begins. Finally it rains. We thought its better to continue rather than stopping in the dense forest and we kept going until we reach the starting point.<br />
<br />
Reached the starting point by 5.30 PM with our luggage and the tent. A few leeches sucked our blood. So I would suggest you to take salt. Carry only Food, Torch, Glucose, First Aid Kit and water.<br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">About Skandagiri</span></b><br />
<br />
Skandagiri is located approximately 70 km from Bangalore and just 3 km from Chikkabalpur. It is off International Kempegowda Airport road.<br />
<br />
Skandagiri is a perfect place for one day outing with family and friends. One can visit Nandi hills too which is 8 km away from Skandagiri. It is better to go on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) and also to hire a guide to reach the peak. People often visit to witness sunrise here.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">How to reach </span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
There are regular BMTC buses from Bangalore to Chikkabalapur. In order to reach Skandagiri, proceed directly to Kalawara village via Sir M Visveswaraya's birth place (Muddenahalli).<br />
<br />
The best time to trek is during winter season. The top of the hill is often enclosed in a blanket of mist and the best place to relax. One has to carry water bottles and food while trekking since you do not find anything much at the top.<br />
