A Kodachadri sunset
It was the end of summer.
The first showers -- or what we call Mungaaru Malhe in Kannada -- were just around the corner. The Western Ghats beckoned.
I initially decided to go for a sojourn in the Western Ghats all alone,
but Deepak joined later because the other trip he had planned got
cancelled. In the last minute Poovi got in as well.
• Airfare for Rs 100 and less!
We started off in the evening on May 18 from the KSRTC bus stand towards
Kollur via Shimoga. We had a chat with driver and requested him to drop
us off at a place called Karekatte, 20 km short of Kollur.
Karekatte came at 6.10 in the morning and from there we set out towards
Kodachadri.
What a change the chirping birds and cool morning breeze of
Karekatte was from the shrieking honks and pollution of our Bengaluru.
