Long Overdue - ShivanSamundram

Travel Date : 15 Aug 2008

---------------------------

Shweta and I was thinking of planning a trip to some nearby place as it has been quite a time since we went somewhere. The last trip was in distant memory (the one to Mek-Datu/Sangam - Jan 2007 - Yati was still not around). We were planning to have a trip with our sweet little one .

Route
Bannerghatta Road --> Nice Road --> Mysore Road --> Bidadi --> Ramanagaram --> Maddur --> Take diversion from Mysore road to Talakad.

We decided to take a trip to another fall near by ShivanSamundram. I never drove any thing more than our new International Airport. Talked to Som and good to find that he too will be joining and we are all set after that.

The day started early, woke up at 6:30 am, did a little packing consdering the kids (Yati and Sanvi) are also travelling. We started at around 8:30 am on NICE Road. Took exit of Mysore road and cruised along. Reached to Kamath Lokaruchi (@around 60Km ) at aroung 9:30.
Took a pit stop to refuel ourselves. Had breakfast and then proceeded further.

Reached Maddur. After crossing Maddur, please look for a fork (Y). Right will go to Mysore and left will go towards Talakad and Shivan Samundran. Go straight on road, in 2009 the road was being built so was bad in patches. Finally it took around 3 hours to reach Shivan Samundram. The fall was full of water -(this being good monsoon). Boating was not operational.

Spend some 1 hour there and headed back. Sometime journey is more enjoyable than destination.
