The above sunset picture is taken, while I was traveling to Mysore from Mananthavady along with my mother and wife. We were about to get the Mysore – Chennai Cauvery express. As usual the Mananthavady Mysore bus trip was cancelled due to bus break down at bad road stretch from Wayanad border (Bavali) till H.D. Kotte. So we took a taxi to Mysore from Wayanad. It took a different route than the usual one. From Kartikulam, we diverted to Nagarhole route, and reached H.D. Kotte, and then we traveled to Mysore in the usual route. The road from Bavali till H.D. Kotte is in a very bad state for more than a decade I think. The repairing/ re-tarring of the road is objected using court orders by some one stating silly reasons, which now is considered for some hidden personal benefits.
Very nice pic.
ReplyDeleteyea, this particular stretch is in bad condition..but good chances of spotting wildlife. If the road is good, it could be a nice shortcut to Mysore from Wayanad.
Very true Arun,
ReplyDeleteThe distance to Wayanad (Mananthavady) reduces by 50 kilometers if this road is in good condition. When the Bangalore Mysore new Infrastructure is complete, the total distance from Bangalore to Wayanad will be roughly around 200 kms. Compared to the 300 Kilometers at present. That makes a lot of difference.

yea, that would be very nice when the roads are ready!
ReplyDeletebtw, I am very much impressed with the way you express places around wayanad/mananthavadi. ofc, wayanad is my fav too.. have been there many times in the past 2 years. Just 2 weeks back i came there for a trek around Neelamala near to Meenmutti! :-)
..i love the monsoon in Wayanad! Though i have not been to Kurduva island yet..will chekout next time.
Dear Arun,
ReplyDeleteI too love Wayanad not just because it is my home town. But because of it calmness and still unexplored beauty. I couldn't enjoy last monsoon season, as I was in Dubai, and when it was heavy rains in Wayanad, I suffered the extreme temperature of 55 Degree in Dubai. But two weeks before, when i was been to Mepadi (Mundakkai, and Thollayiram (900)) in Wayanad, It was more than monsoon - the summer rains.
