Day 2 : Everything went as planned on Day 1 , thanks to that . Kemmanugundi welcomed us in morning with rain , to be accurate lots of rain . We were waiting for the gap to start moving from there . We were ready by 7 , First gap which we received was around 8:30 AM . Packed things in an hurry and started moving towards the highest point on Kemmanugundi . Lots of our ancestors crossed our way disturbing us . We carried extra pair of slippers on cover , thinking that as food . They were chasing us . Climate was awesome . Its breezing heavily after a huge rain .
We were not in a hurry , since we had 5 days in hand , Thanks to my pillion , He came up with the idea of getting into in the jungle . Seems a very good idea at that point . We were in the highest point in Kemmanugundi , we started riding towards the forest after taking few snaps on the way .. We two were desperate to explore this place before the next rain hit us .
After a quick coffee on the way , we started heading towards to tarikere to catch NH206 . On the way to shimoga , we had breakfast and we started heading towards Joganmata village to see the historic jog falls . Weather was exactly opposite to yesterday . Started hitting us from all sides with rain and wind . I had to take frequent breaks since i had pillion with me . yes , this is the moment which we came for leaving our regular office works .Though we were not proper riders , we understood the purpose of proper riding hear at that point . Sometimes life teaches you in different way . We decided to get proper gear once we are back to bangalore . ( Lessons learned ) . We were enjoying nature every bit of it , almost every dress which we carried became wet and we were searching for jockey shop on the way .. ( Lol ) . since we had 4 days ride yet to go . Interesting fact which we learned on day 2 , I am not able to see any empty land on these ride . There were peoples who are far away from tech world , living happily without any problems , targets , time schedules , projects , reports , meetings . blaw blaw .. Blessed peoples . :) . NH206 was superb for ride . One can never forget this experience .
Around 3 PM , we reached Joganmata villagae . It welcomed us with a mild rain . Since we were already wet , we started enjoying rain . Jog Falls is created by the Sharavathi River dropping 253 m (830 ft), making it the second-highest plunge waterfall in India after the NohKalhai falls . Before the onset of monsoon season, when there is not much water in the Linganmakki dam, the Jog Falls are a pair of thin streams of water trickling down the cliff, as the water collected in the dam is exclusively for generation of electricity; during monsoons local rain water is the source of water to the falls.
If you are able to see the small house over Jog Falls , with the help of a local friend we were able to reach that place and able to take two snaps from the top of the Jog Falls before a security personnal chased us away . Thanks to the unknown friend . Here are those two snaps . :)
We started heading towards Murudeshwar around 4:30 pm from Jog Falls , Actually murudeshwar temple doesn't comes under our plan . Since we planned our night stay at Honnavar . We thought to make use of the time . To reach Murudeshwar , we took deviation from our route from Honnavar . We reached Murudeshwar around 6 PM . After 2 days of Hills ride , Now we were on costal karnataka . Next part of our tale starts here
We reached Hannavar back around @9 PM & settled after a heavy dinner . Its time for us to catch sleep . :) We know tommorow , coastal karanataka waits for us with lots of adventures .
