Meghane [ಮೇಘಾನೆ]

That was a long & a physically demanding Trek in the Sharavathi Valley.

View of 'Meghane' from a hill-top.

Have a closer look at the above pic & locate Meghane in it !

That's Meghane. Had been to Basavana Baayi [ಬಸವನ ಬಾಯಿ] (translated, it means Bull's Mouth) from there.

Lone Crusader !

This snap was taken on 23-Dec-2006 at dusk at Meghane [ಮೇಘಾನೆ] Hill top.

Meghane is a small hamlet, which lies between Kargal - Bhatkal link, Shimoga District in Karnataka.

The image depicts a thorny shrub basking in the glory of rays of Sun at dusk.

at Goodana Gundi Falls [ಗೂದನಗುಂಡಿ ಜಲಪಾತ]

This snap was taken on 25-Dec-2006 at Goodana Gundi Falls [ಗೂದನಗುಂಡಿ ಜಲಪಾತ], which lies some where between Kargal - Bhatkal link, Shimoga District in Karnataka . . .

These falls are untouched by civilization yet. So, we did not find plastic litter / broken liquor bottles at this place.

Thanks to mother nature for placing these falls at such a remote place, that it took a total of two and a half days of Trekking just to reach the place.

The image captures the serene beauty of Nature at its Best !
