River rafting, a beautiful waterfall and lots of yucky leeches! Posted on June 28, 2004 Weekend highlights — River rafting down the Seetha river. — Camping at the Seethanadi Nature Camp in the Hebri jungle, which is a part of the Kudremukh National Park. — Trekking to the Kudlu Teertha waterfalls. — Getting bitten by leeches (yuckk!!) and a bloody foot by the end of the 10 km trek! — Biryani in Udupi and roast chicken in Mangalore. Couldn’t have asked for more excitement packed into two days! Monday morning. Back to Bangalore. And to work. Aching bones and all! Nice colleague drives me to work in the new car 🙂 (Pictures and write-up will follow as soon as I recover from aches and pains).

In the shade of the silver oak Posted on July 14, 2008July 14, 2008 If you want a short break, but don’t want to venture out too far from the city, Nandi Hills is a good option. The only problem though is that all sorts of crowds land up there by mid-morning and it seems more like a mela out there during the weekends.

Magical Mawlynnong: Life on Stilts Posted on May 15, 2007January 7, 2008 North East Chronicles: On March 19, we travelled from Shillong to the lovely picture perfect village of Mawlynnong, Meghalaya. The village prides itself on being the cleanest in Asia – and and it’s not an empty boast we discovered!

Kudremukh …aaah the name rings in my ears voice of Asha singing “Katra Katra Behti hai ….!!” looking forward to see ur photblog on this one … I know u like cars and I have send u one photo album check ur mail ….:) Reply
Anupma: New?!! You obviously haven’t been to this part of the country in a while 😉 Hirdesh: Hmm… still trying to figure out what that means… JD: Yes, am slowly discovering that the Western Ghats holds lots of hidden treasures. Of course, you have to battle the leeches, to find them. But I believe they are usually abundant during the rainy months! Reply
Mahesh: Kudremukh is another trekker’s delight I have been told. Will definitely make a trip there. But the next plan is to go to Bandipur and Nagarhole 🙂 I like anything that is fast and racy! Will check up the photo album. Lazy: Yeah! And what do you mean by ‘as usual’!! Anyway, what are you upto these days? Any plans of visiting my newly adopted city? 🙂 Reply

off topic comment: have you seen the following site? http://www.livingontheplanet.com/asia/in/ i would love it if you and the shutterbugs could get some great bangalore photos on it; a blog article once in a while would be great too. – ess bee Reply
Raj: Thanks! Though I think I’m one of the bloggers who writes relatively lesser 🙂 But, well, I guess since I am from a writing background, I don’t need too much to get started!! EssBee: Suggestion duly noted 🙂 Gautam: We didn’t actually stop in Udupi, but went straight on to Hebri. We had thought about stopping on a beach on the way back but because the water levels were dangerously high, no one was allowed into the water. We also ran out of time since it was only a two-day trip and there’s only that much one can pack into two days 🙂 Reply
