Malanadu Trip


A long awaited, somehow properly planned, relaxing, soothing and a wonderful trip – this was how a 4-5 day trip was(Aug 2012). Actually in NR pura – even the walk at Basadi matha/Pete/Anjaneya temple was nice. Just think of this area in rainy season  - man I loved it. The grass grows on the roof ;-), always drizzling – though this year there is not much rain, still it was okey.
We initially planned 2 days trip to kalasa and hornadu but as Rishabh was not well, we had to cut the trip to a single day event. Early morning while going to kalasa we had seen ghadigeshwara temple (Nadig family temple)  and from there  went to kalasa (kalaseshwara). A nice calm temple. From there along the sides of  bhardra river to Hornadu (Annapurneshwari). What a place it is. This might be the best temple area or next to kukke subramanya. Really amazing place.
From there to shringeri) we saw at least 3-4 nice water falls, unknow, not so famous, yet so beautiful. For the first time I have seen Sirimane falls and kigga (rishyashringa) temple. And from there finally to Sringeri (Sharada temple). Basically everything in this trip was nice.
