This is actually a continuation of a travelogue in which we had first stopped at Bylakuppe. Post-lunch, we then drove to Coorg district and straight to our homestay at the foot of Thadiyandamol, the highest peak in Coorg. This place took some finding but once we eventually did, Ramesh struggled a bit to get his car in. It had rained earlier that day, so the soil was moist and muddy, making the car’s wheels to spin as Ramesh tried to get some grip.
The number of attempts Ramesh took (Photograph by Ramesh)This was in 2008, I don't know if the condition of this path is the same even to this dayThe car eventually got inThe homestay we were staying at was called Palace EstateOur room was in that portion of the house with the yellow wallThe views were nice
Three years after my first trip to Goa, here I was another visit, but this time with a different group of people. We took another route from Bangalore to Goa, different from the route I was on in 2005. This time around we went from Bangalore -> Tumkur -> Kadur -> Shimoga -> Honavar -> Kumta -> Karwar -> Goa.
This was at our breakfast stop. That’s my friend Loi, the dalmatian wasn’t part of the tour group.As was the case those days, we were in my friend Ramesh’s carWe stopped along the way whenever we saw sights we never clicked beforeSorry, but I don’t remember names of the places. It was a long time ago.I was using a Nikon D70S, borrowed from a colleague at workPhotograph by RameshIf my photos look a bit off, it’s because it was the first time using a Nikon and remember, these were days I was still learning how to use a DSLR camera (and Photoshop)The roads we were on hardly saw much trafficThis was somewhere just outside Jog Falls
Yes, 2005 🙂 I’m going all the way back in my travel archives! This was the first time I went to Goa, one of the most popular (and much hyped) tourist spots in India. It was group of two cars, all of whom were my friends and co-workers at the time.
