A Family Trip to Muninagara Dam

This video is about Muninagara Dam which is approximately 40 kms from Bangalore in Kanakpura road. We had a family trip to this dam. Overall the dam is good but the views around it was really awesome.The dam is surrounded with hills and green forest. Actually this forest is under Bannerghatta national park. We spent some good quality time with our family.Apart from this, we also had some experience of outdoor campaign. We enjoyed cooking in the jungle and had a lot of fun together.

One thing I really love about living in Bangalore is the driving destinations around Bangalore, probably the only decent Tier-1 city with more than 20 same-day driving destinations in under 100-120km

In recent weeks like other big cities, Bangalore was under weekend lockdown and night curfew, so when the weekend curfew was finally lifted we were in the mood to take a short road trip nearby Bangalore

We already had been multiple times to some commonly known destinations like Nandi Hill, Art of Living Ashram, Mayura River View, Chikka Tirupati, Tribal Cafe, Chhota Ladakh and the list goes on.

So deciding upon a location to go to was quite straight forward.

1. A place where we haven't been earlier

2. It must be under 100-120 km distance from Bangalore because we absolutely wanted to come back by EOD

3. It shouldn't be too crowded a place - COVID19 precaution!

4. And if it's equidistance from Whitefield and Thanisandra half of our family stay at another corner of the Bangalore and plan was to reach the destination, spend some good time and come back to our places

After a bit of discussion, the majority agreed to visit a dam/water body located towards the south of the Bangalore: Muninagara Dam

Distance:
- From Whitefield: About 60km
- From Thandisandra: About 55km

Day - Sunday,

We had breakfast at home at our respective places and set out for our destination at the almost same time.

It was a decent drive - you actually start enjoying it when you come to the NICE road (for non-Bangaloreans, the name of the road is 'NICE' Road and IMO it's the nearest and the nicest road quality-wise for us Bangaloreans here).
