3 days road trip -> Gokak falls

Woke up early on Day 2, got ready and started towards Gokak falls by 7 AM. Tried to have breakfast in Belgaum, but none of the hotels were open that early, hence proceeded with an empty stomach.

We had to travel around 50 kilometers and a wrong choice of road costed us some time, as we had to negotiate potholes and gravel. At the end made it to Gokak by 9 AM with couple of breaks in between for some pictures.

Had breakfast at a local hotel in Gokak and then proceeded towards the falls.

Water was less at Gokak falls courtesy the dam. But none the less, first timers were quite impressed by the hanging bridge, old British style buildings. For me, it was 4th time since childhood days, last visit being in 2009, 4.5 years earlier.

Cheers

3 days road trip -> Night's halt @ Belgaum

As the day came to a close, we concluded that, we could not make it to Gokak falls and as a result, decided to halt at Belgaum. Approached the KSRTC bus stand and chose to have dinner. Found a Jain hotel opposite to the bus stand and finished dinner. Then started searching for lodges.

While couple of people went in search of rooms, me and few others went to buy, local sweets, Kunda/Ghate and Bhakarvada. I got 3/4 kilo of kunda and 1/2 kilo of bhakarvada. Handling them over the next two days became a challenge as we were running out of space in the car.

Found a lodge and slept for the day.

3 days Road trip -> Utsav Rock Garden, Gotgodi Park, Shiggaon

This was my second visit to Utsav Rock Garden in Shiggaon. It had been almost 2 years and lots of things had changed since then. Here are few more pics! Many things remained the same though!.

I thoroughly liked Utsav Rock Garden, but this time, people with whom I had gone there, liked this place even more than me!. They thought it was a visual treat!

Cheers,
