Places to Visit

It has been close to 4 years that I thought of writing something on my blog and was wondering what to write... Do I need to continue with my adventure diary or anything new or again my favorite subject travel.... Finally I decided to write on travel, but in a different way, not elaborating on the route or weather and road condition, it was this time I decided to specify or emphasize more on places one should or should not visit. Here you will get to see those places which could be a wildlife, historical or a pilgrim etc,...Yes, some inputs from my experience as well.

Let me start with the very recent and continue with other places which I have to copy paste from my word doc to this :-). 

1. Place: River Woods Homestay --> Close to Bale Honnur near a place called Magundi... approx 50km from Chikkamagalur...

Accommodation: Decent, not value for money

Food: Veg was pathetic, non-veg was manageable

Service: Decent

Nearby Places: Nothing at all within 10km radius, however beyond this you will find places to visit like Sringeri, Hornadu etc,.. 

And for wildlife lovers: Head back to Chikkamagalur and deviate towards either towards Bhadra or Muthodi.

Trekkers: Merthy Peak, reach an estate by vehicle and head towards the peak.

Closest fuel station : Bhale Honnur.

Advice: Keep this place as last or as a least option.....It would be wonderful if you have good company.

2. Stream of Joy: Homestay near to Dharmasthala and Southadka.

Accommodation: Very ordinary.

Food: Decent, little Hygiene.

Service: Decent.

Nearby Places: Dharmasthala, another ancient temple, Southadka.

Trekkers and Wildlife Lovers: Nothing great for you.

3. Jungle Lodges and Resorts Karnataka: Old Magazine House, Rivertern, Kabini, Bannerghatta and many more....

Accommodation: Very nice.

Food : Decent

Service: Very Good

Near by places: Depends on the resort you book, one thing in common is for sure, that is Jungle Safari...

Trekkers: You might enjoy places nearby depending on the resort, but you would not get time to trek if you are on a day's visit or rather one night stay.

Wildlife Lovers : Most of Jungle Lodges will have season mentioned for bird watching or wildlife.
