THE PRIDE OF PUSHPAGIRI

 


H.K.HEMANTH KUMAR,Y.B.HARSHA and myself (A.V.SRINATH) just started off one saturday night to get away from the city of Bangalore. We were thinking of some very good place for one day. Mallalli falls perfectly suited our schedule.

Having a comfortable overnight journey we landed at Somvarpet at 4.00am. The morning was very chill with varunadeva(God of Rain) was very fierceful. We somehow managed to kill time & boarded the bus to Bidalli which started at 7.30am.

Bidalli is about 25+kms from Somvarpet & we got down at a stop just before bidalli. From there the waterfalls is about 2.5kms.

For a moment our joy knew no bounds. The breath taking view of the falls was amazing. The falls was at its best. The clouds were just playing in the valley. This falls is in the foot of the Pushpagiri peak. There is a nature's created L-shaped rock formation which is the perfect view point. Enjoying the beauty we had our breakfast cum lunch.

We were completely drenched in the rain. Watching the panoramic views we clicked photos to our wish.

Mind full of memories,
