2007 in brief

The year 2007 has been quite a lovely year for me. My thirst to go out of India and see the outside world was quenched. Also, I traveled to western India, to a new state. All this I must say has broadened my mind.

I hoped to see 5 countries by the time I turned 25 and I am glad it happened. Here is the list:
Germany (Munich, Frankfurt)
Austria (Salzburg)
Holland (Amsterdam)
UAE (Dubai)
Thailand (Bangkok and Pattaya)

Places I visited outside Karnataka:
Pune
Shirdi
Mumbai
Alibag
Lonavala

Places around Karnataka/Bangalore
Pearl Valley
Melkote
Manchanabele
Devanahalli
NandiHills
Bigbanyan
Kanva Reservoir
Hesaragatta
Devarayanadurga

I shall do a detail write up soon. Promise.

Note to self: You need to see more places!! The list is very small!

Hesarghatta

Place: Hesarghatta

Visited: 4 March 2007

Route/Travel: Bangalore(Jayanagar)->BELCircle->Vidyaranyapura->small village roads->Hesarghatta
alternate: Bangalore->Tumkur Road->turn left after about 20Kms->Hesarghatta

Food: Nothing much available except expensive food @ Taj Kuteeram

Stay: A few resorts are around. Get to Bangalore for better options

See:
Nothing much to see here. There is an almost dried up lake, a Turkey farm where they sell turkey meat, NrityaGram and some resorts to spend some time and money in.
It's a good 1 day ride if totally jobless!



Photos Time!!
