Return journeys from a Trek - TTTT 58
Return journeys after completing a trek are always fun and excellent. The sense of accomplishment, for finishing the trek, the solo time we get to unwind, watching the villages and towns pass by and the freedom to eat till stomach's fill because we have burnt sufficient calories during the trek, plus good music all ends up as a fun filled journey. I wish to put these lines in a poem but some other day.
This time too the trek was excellent. We came out of the forest only by 7 PM evening and it was all dark, and by the time we made our way to Honnavara for dinner it was 8 15 PM odd. Then it was all climb to Sagar and then Shimoga. We had our dinner at Kamat restaurant at Honnavara. I simply love the coastal towns of Honnavara, Kumta, these places have the best to offer, in terms of simplicity of food, the service, the showcase of humanity just stands up.
It was relaxing, there was no movie being played, everyone was relaxed after completing the trek, were chatting, talking about random stuffs. But it was the first time, I saw 2-3 accidents on Jog falls climb, Ghat section. I pray nobody was hurt because of these. I had seen one before multiple times, but this day there were multiple on the same stretch, sad.
There was a village festival kind of thing near Mavinagundi, full bling bling and lights. Its hard to see such a controlled festival, never happens in town. In town all you get is honking vehicles, huge number of people / crowd and everyone trying to show off their wealth or who come to market their products. The question of enjoyment and fulfillment in a city fair is far from reality. But over here in a village, just a look by me while passing was so fulfilling. All I could do is sit in a vehicle and dream of being a part of the fair.. why not :) ?
We started from Honnavara at 9 40 PM and reached Bangalore around 5 15 AM. Thats way too quick a time, because we have Jog falls Ghat section to climb and then its all way single lane road and not NH4.
These days I do not write about the places which I trek nor post many pictures. I can, but I do not want publicity via a search engine. I prefer to keep things to myself :)
This post was more about the fun filled return journey from the coastal side.
Cheers,
PS - This time we had a Tempo traveller with a CR Engine. Very rarely we get CR engine TT, but yeah, considerably less noisy than the Euro 3 Turbo Engine Traveller.
