Day - 1

5 am left home; bf @ maddur and the second bf stop at Savi Ruchi at Malavalli (for my boy).

We reached Somanthpur Temple.

The Hoysalas temples are marvelous, Must have taken years together to complete. Imagine the dedication of the artesian and the interest of the King. This is not a functional temple. But It is well maintained.

- BR Hills

- we had booked a stay at Hotel Mayura Biligiri. Ac room 2900 n non-ac 2600 which includes complimentary bf.

-B. Gudi wildlife sanctuary - Safari timings 6.30 am to 8 am and 3 pm to 5 pm. Charges. Adult Rs. 450, kids up to the age of 10 free. / No online tickets are available for this safari.

Path of uphill, BR Hills, or way towards safari and inside safari, wow.... simply splendid, rather no words to describe. It is so peaceful, and serene, it's a place to feel. As per the jeep driver, there are 56 tigers and 110 leopards... and elephants. During our safari, we could not spot one. Don't get disappointed, I would say the visit to the forest itself is a luxury. The lush green in the forest, the different kinds of trees, and the silence of that location take one to a different level.

Note: from 6 pm to 6 am, we cant access those roads, after 6 pm elephants come on the roads.

The hotel arranges a cultural program in the evening: by the Soligara tribe people, we gain knowledge about them, and dance forms, lifestyles, education background, how are they able to retain good health, happiness, wellness, etc . 2..3 dances.

It was very nice, some of us joined them on the dance front.

They are friendly to animals and the ecosystem. They are so happy, They get good food, clean water, unpolluted air, and no greediness, they coexist with animals in the forest.

Eg: 75 yrs old women can carry 30 kg of ragi for 50 km, imagine their strength!!!

After dinner, I and my person took a walk and came back, the hotel manager was narrating so many stories, the elephants, bear and a tiger near a temple or on-road.. and told us not to go venturing night out or the early morning.

 

Day - 2

- BR Ranganathaswamy Temple - beautiful darshan, beautiful surroundings, our handsome man / Lord is enjoying himself here on top of beautiful hills

- bf @ the Mayur hotel and left towards Shivanasamudram

- the Madhya Ranga temple is closed for renovation

- Shivanasamudram; the water level was good enough, maybe after the monsoon, it is likely to be more. - Lunch @ Shivalli, the GPS is showing some funny route.

- Reached home by evening.

PS: - This time we declutter artificial jewels, shoes n sandals and we shared them with tribes, was so so happy.

(some more earrings n bangles left in the vehicle, another trip? ha ha ha )

- It is better to have tender coconut, sugarcane juices, berries, and jackfruit on the way, which gives them business, as well we consume healthy food, rather than artificial drinks n junk.

- My family elders used to tell us, always give something to those people who keep the temple premises clean, before offering to temples. sharing is caring. Even the Lord loves so so...

- Alike most of us tip the serving person rather than the table cleaner, the tip can be given for both.

- believe me, it will fill our hearts with joy n happiness. Seeing money/cash is difficult in rural areas for those people.

-Pls carry a steel tiffin box, glass, and plate - so we can avoid paper cups n plates. We can keep our eco system intact n a clean country, which should begin from self.

one cover for wet waste and one for dry waste in the vehicle, empty at bins.

Seeds can be thrown in jungles or greens.

You are seeing pics from the camera lens which is not even 2% real, pls see through your eye lens, and visit these places once.

thank you
