It was 26th Jan long weekend of Jan 2015. I started researching to locate a decaccommodation in Chikmagalur and fortunately I bumped into SK Regency. I searched abhis hotel and it was good review by the people who wants to get a budget hotel near by the

places. Initially planned for the weekend of Dec-2014 but had to postpone the dates as it walready booked. Then, checked for weekend of Jan- 26 2015 was lucky this time for which I he booking confirmed.

Accommodation: SK Regency

Rate: 1. 4K per Room per night inclusive of all (No Breakfast and no meal).

Onward Journey: (NH 48) BLR -> Nelamangala -> Channarayapatna -> Halebid Chikmagalur

Started at 6:30 AM from home (Outer ring road) and took NH4 which was a breezy drive all tway to Nelamangala. From Nelamangala we had to take a left towards Hassan and this ro

also was very good all the way to Hassan. Stopped for breakfast at on the way hotelbreakfast around 8AM. We had hot tatte idly with and coffee. We took halebid diversion to sall historic temples on the way and reached Chikmagalur around 1:30PM. With no timchecked in into hotel and upon asking he gave me one route of all sight and distance. Hostaff was average in communication but they will manage the show.

Places Must visit:

Please check out the map attached. Its very much self descriptive and you need not aanyone.

But we reached around 2:00PM so we don't want to go to Mullayanagiri as morning visit to tplace will be good. So covered buttermilk falls, kavikal gandhi and returned back to hotel7PM.

Mullayanagiri -go early morning (be careful while driving)

Kavikal Gandhi- Climbing 50 steps behind check posts take to horseshow view chandradrona hills, enjoy scenic beauty of inner and outer Giri

ButterMilk Falls- Nice place, no car will go down after reaching near by, if you can walk 2. 5 Kn dust or mud you can go and another option is JEEP by local people. Be careful, who haback or spin, slip disc issues avoid jeep as its like coaster ride.

Hebe falls- You can go, avoid personal vehicle there but rent the JEEP and go so nothingworry about and again careful with bumpy journey.

There are many small falls and points where you can stop and enjoy.

'll suggest spend the time where you like and don't spoil your journey by visiting so maplaces.

Food: As north guy, i found the restaurant "Kanha" combined with Giri Inn hotel. Fantastic foby them encourage us to go there twice in day. You can have south Indian food in town

hotels are good but avoid any resto bar and specially prefer restaurant near by KSRTC bstops. If you are a coffee drinker than ask any local person and they will guide you to get best coffee in town.

Advice: Prefer south indian food, avoid resto bars, book hotel well in advance as weekeeverything full, spend time where you like, drive carefully, visit Mullayanagiri in early morninand stay there for 10AM.

Always have something before going some where as, all places are situated on remote locatand no proper food will be available. If you have children with you so prepared yourself for wa

clothes and baby food.

Don't be so enthusiastic for photo and risk your life in hills and sharp curves. Keep place cleby not throwing your trash at all places, avoid throwing plastics bags & bottles." - KuldPatel, Rajkot, Jan 28, 2015

Over the clouds

It was just another instantly planned trip where destination was still 'x'. After constant browsor destinations 4-6 hours from Bangalore, we concluded to hit Chikmagalur. Although the

were advises not to travel to the place in this season where it rains a lot. But... believe me it w

nothing less of real beauty, might be that in better seasons, this place seems more heavenly.There are a lot of waterfalls and hills to be explored.nternet suggests a lot of activities but since we had been there during the off season, we

not find much adventure activity. Also the short duration did not allow much bandwidthexplore of adventure sports.

Note: Any description of the place would be an under-statement.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food: Did not hunt much for the food and settled down wwhatever was available. Carry lot of snacks(useful during the treks and journey) but pleabring back the waste and dispose it carefully.

Due to short schedule(1.5 day) we covered Kemmengudi, Mullayyanagiri, Bababudan hHebbe falls and Jhari falls. We were not able to do real treks owing to the rains and a coupleravelmates who were too sick of the leeches(always try to pick a group of enthusiasts for t

place) but the hill ride was worth doing it million times.

Do not miss the temple at top of 'sheetalagiri', it has stairs which at time would seem to

staircase to heaven. This was the place where I felt the over the top of cloud feeling, whowards the top it was not raining and dark clouds could be seen from the top. And as y

descended, you could explore that you were above a raining cloud. It was just heavenly aawesome experience. Winds were blowing at amazingly great velocity and made you feel had wings'.

Shopping: Not a place where you want to waste time in shopping.

Activities & things to do: Internet suggests a lot of activities but since we had been there durhe off season, we did not find much adventure activity. Also the short duration did not all

much bandwidth to explore of adventure sports.

Just roam around and spend minimal time in your hotel rooms.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Reach to Chikmagalur by early morning 4-5Aget freshened up and hit the road again by 6-7AM although it wont matter much as we h

complete cloud cover until 11AM.Carry extra pair of footwear as your shoes are proned to get wet in the falls. Have shoesprotect your legs from leeches. Carry salt for the same reason during trek.Trekking in rainy season might be tricky so try to avoid it during the month of September.Since we had hired a cab, cannot advise much on public transport to the place." - Sid JaBangalore, Sep 17, 2011

n harmony with nature

Chikmagalur is a scenic destination that takes you into the lap of nature. Soothing grecoffee plantations, pepper and a variety of fruit and flowers all add to the feeling of calm a

relaxation that you get when you land here. The roads are good in most places and windghats at some.t rains for most part of the year and that can sometimes make commute difficult.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Kemmangudi, Hebbe Falls(albeit far), SithalayangMulayanagiri, Kalahasti falls are places to visit from Chikmagalur. MG Park with its Toy train agames are also an attraction for children and adults alike. Coffee and pepper, green cardamwould be things to shop for.

Activities & things to do: Relax and let Nature reach out to you!

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Bangalore-Neelamangala-Kunigal-Hasan-BeChikmagalur.The roads are generally good. There are however areas where construction is still on and need to take bypasses. Those roads offer bumpy rides. Still overall, can make good timeSandeep Kaliyath, Udhagamandalam, May 31, 2011

If you want to go to a place where it is not swarming, easy on the pocket and if you’re a natureak, Chikmagalur is a good option. The place is really green. As long as you are not livinghe town, you will really love this place. This place is quite eminent for its tea and coffee estat

A very good place to go unwind and loosen up. You can go with family, spouse or with frient’s a place where it really doesn’t matter who you go with. All that matters is it takes us from

very fast and chaotic day to day life that we face every day in the city. The locals are particula

responsive. If you are the kind of person looking for a serene vacation, Chikmagalur is a regood alternative to many other pricey and commercial places we find in South India.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is Good. You should try Akki roti and Koli Saaru if yare a non vegetarian. I unfortunately cannot remember the name of the restaurant I tries thisMan did I fall in love with it or what!! Awesome. The thought of it gets my taste buds runningover the place.

You could visit the Baba Budan Range, Mullayangiri, Belavadi, Marle. You could also do drips to Sringeri as well as Kemmanagundi.

There is nothing much to shop here. So don’t bother looking for places to shop. You can bsomething as a souvenir but nothing much to shop here.

Activities & things to do: Again all you can really do here is just relax. Visit some of the plamentioned above. Apart from that, if the resort you are staying at offers some kind of activitiyou could keep yourself busy with that.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: From Bangalore, you could use your oransport or take a bus. It takes only about 8 hours. If you are going to use your own transpo

he best route would Bangalore>Nelamangala>Kunigal>Chennarayapatna>Hassan>Belur>Chikmagalur. Apart frhat, there is nothing really to worry about here. Just go there and relax." - Savio Thom

Kemmanagundi, Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary...........

Kemmanagundi is the ideal place to get away from the heat & dust, the crowds & traffic jamshe cities. Quite peaceful serene, nesting amidst lush green forests. Kemmanagundi is sure

revive & rejuvenate you, physically, mentally & spiritually.The sanctuary takes its name from the eponymous river, its lifeline. Popularly known as MuthWildlife Sanctuary, after the village on its periphery. Moist and dry deciduous forests wpatches of shoal-grassland habitat are found at the higher altitudes.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: No specialty food is available here. Canteens run by tDept. or some small time restaurants can see to that you don't starve.

Activities & things to do: Trekking to Hebbe Falls 8 Kms - water gushes down from a heigh168 mtrs in two stages. Kalhatti Falls 10 Kms - Water cascades down from a height of 122 m
