At the ResortTrip to Coorg and Mysore :
I was in two minds whether to go or not .The place in question was Coorg ,supposed to be the Switzerland of India.I was more keen on biking down to the place on my P220.But, heavy rainfall forced me to alter my plans.Finally, I settled for the bus journey from Hyderabad to Bangalore and from Bangalore to Coorg on bikes.
So, as per the plan I reached Bangalore on 1.10.2009. The idea was to have some rest in Bangalore before the trip.We were supposed to start at 5.00 am on 2.10.2009.But, because of rain we finally hit the highway around 9.00 am.The Bangalore Mysore Highway is a 4 laned piece of tarmac on which speeds rarely go below 100 km/hr.
Mysore at a distance of 150 kms from Bangalore, was reached around 1.00 pm after numerous breaks and snack stops.From there it is a 2 lane highway to Coorg.But, the beautiful scenery on both sides of this highway surpasses anything else. So, after another round of breaks and photo sessions we finally reached Kushalnagar,which is around 90 kms from Mysore.From Kushalnagar it is 40 kms of broken roads to Madikeri (the local name for Coorg).
So, we stopped at a resort some 5 kms from Kushalnagar.This place had a lake in front it which was nothing but the catchment area for the Haringi Dam.The view around the resort was breathtaking.We chilled out in the resort that night and the following day.
On 3.10.2009, we were on our way back to Mysore. On the way we stopped at the Tibetan Temple and Nisharga Dham.Both of which are situated in Kushal nagar.
Having reached Mysore at 8 PM, we had our dinner.Then we started for Chamundi Hills which is around 7 kms from Mysore.At night it was covered with clouds which provided a chilling experience. Then it was back to hotel and some much needed sleep.
Got up the next morning, to leave for Bangalore in time to catch my bus back to Hyderabad.
