Wow Varun good to know you enjoyed the trip.

Those pics just refreshed my memory of visit to Sringeri.

But how you did Sringeri via S.K.Border???

Did you visit swami Ashram just after crossing the bridge at Sringeri.

The real time to visit Agumbe in rains is all together different experience.

Waiting for more of pics and your experiences.

I could not visit the Ashram as we have had leave by 8am, it was opened only after 9am for the public to visit.

Sorry I dint get your point, Sringeri via S.K.Border..

It's South Kanara border which was earlier border between chikmagalur and South Kanara(Now majorly divided into Udupi Distt and Dakshina Kannada).
After these partition now there is a forest checkpost where one has to reach other part of border within stipulated time.

May be now they have shifted the checkpost on the way to Horanadu.

 

[Varun560061]

I dint find any check post. Only I found one near the jog falls..

Great write-up Varun, those pictures were good too, The Sri Mane falls is also good, BTW where exactly does that falls come? i mean in which route?

No other place can beat this place in rainy season, the weather,the fog, illumination all are great to see.

Which route did you take for Murudeshwar from Kollur? Is that very near to Kollur?

Vishwas for Kollur, one route is via Kundapur.

Other route is take a deviation from NH4 Hubli-Yellapur-Ankola-Murdeshwar-Maravanthe beach road- Take a left deviation after this road, which directly leads to Kollur shortcut, one need not go till Kundapur to reach Kollur.

For Idugunji after Shirali take a deviation to right towards a place called Manki.
