Pictures from my travel to Chikmagalur

The velvety green hills of Kemmangundi, lying between the sprawling tea and coffee estates of Chikmagalur and the Bhadra Sanctuary, are a treat to the travellers' eyes.

In this collection i've put together few clicks from different places around Chikmagalur that i've travelled to - Kemmangundi, the Bhadra Sanctuary, Halebidu, and Kalasa.   I've loved each one of these scenic towns!  

The journey to Hebbe falls needs a special mention. This place was one that we initially voted against visiting, cursing ourselves through the 13 km long bumpy jeep ride on the rocky dirt track. But, walking/wading through three knee-level streams that took us to the falls in the middle of the jungle, did make us feel really thankful for opting to visit this place.  The ride to the falls too, although spine-rattlingly tiring, was very very scenic, with the green hills and tea estates all around. The Chikmagalur trip would be incomplete without this bumpy adventure!

Beauty, truely heavenly. But a place, sadly, very understated!
