That was the first sound i heard on Saturday morning.
The last time i heard cuckoo in bangalore was at UAS campus nearly 3 years ago...
While i mulled over the thought of what happened to them, we had already crossed shimoga and were at the threshold of western ghats.
I have visited different places in the western ghats in the past few years and every single time i am enchanted by its beauty. Its unbelievable how much nature can soothe your mind. Just sitting in the car and watching the surround from the window was a refreshing experience.
The fresh light green trees around, the soft glow of the morning sun peeping here and there through tender leaves, the chirping of birds, the hairpin bends of the ghat, dotted by wild flowers, greenish blue mountain peaks covered in morning mist, the country folk going about their day to day business, the cattle, the children....
every small thing seemed to enhance the beauty of the place tenfold.
There seemed to be a kind of melody in the place. Except melodious music always comes from your ears and fills your heart, but here the melody seemed to be in my heart and was slowly filling my senses.
In the meantime we reached Agumbe, The place is famous for its beautiful sunset spot.
Though we missed the sunrise we nevertheless enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the place.
From agumbe it is roughly around 45 kms to kundapur. We took the route of Someshwara and reached kundapur in roughly about 1 and a half hours.
Maravanthe is exactly 13 kms from kundapur.
Maravathe is a little known place with easily the most beautiful beach that i have seen.
On the left of the highway is the beach and on the right is the sowparnika river.
What was in store for us when we reached maravathe?
The homestay where we stayed, the great food, the beach , the river...
More to come in the next post...
