Mekadatu...
Well to start off Mekadatu is 90 kms off B'lore.... whats there to see or do. you can wade through the Sangam to the other side.. walk 4 kms or use the luxurious bus service to see these craftily crafted rocks.. with a lil pools of stagnant water in between and hear the mighty rush of the water coming thru...
With a vague idea of what to expect there, 6 lazy sleepy and 1 excited soul were off to Mekadatu... which means "goat's leap" at 7 am i.e... not seeing that part of the day in ages I realized next we plan an outing it will be only after 10 am .... My eyes were dropping off and with no food in our stomachs nor our bags we were off....
Since we all were hungry we were about to stop by this small restaurant just as we left blore... but then one of us was like .. on Mysore road there a
re better restaurants we'd have from there..
unfortunately the so called Mysore road never came.. and so did, no restaurants... so we turned out to become the hungry souls ..
On our arrival we could see many "Caution Boards" erected in memory of loved ones who visited the place and never returned back...
3 Golden rUles as to when you are visiting
1. Always listen to the Locals
2. Don't leave your group.. no wandering to the unknown.
3. There are crocodiles....so look out for uneven surfaces...
Since we didn't want to freak ourselves out.. we decided to do the reading once we were back... which may not be a good idea.. coz knowledge is wealth rite :)
anyway there were these nice little... tea shops as we reached there.... where we feasted on omelets .. which was the only available form of food and of course biscuits...
so please carry enough food and water on trips.. another golden rule here...
On crossing the sangam like i said 4km walk or luxurious bus...
things to remember when on bus.. 40 bucks is what 2 side trips cost... the possibilities of you getting bruises on board is about 75% which would of course require a tetanus.. if you have any kind of back problems "DO NOT SIT" ... if you do enjoy caterpillar rides ... siting is fine...
and proly when ur out of the bus ... ur bones would be shaky that .. ppl might think ur an official break dancer.. just an FYI...
On reaching there... the scenery is awesome.. to see those magnificently carved rocks..
and the sun's rays falling on eac
h lil hill,and as time goes by the rays keep advancing... trees which give this autumn look... and the noise of the water gushing through....
the expression on people's face is quiet something... they look bewildered at times...seeing such a beautiful site... the rocks look they were polished by waves.. i know it sound wired .. but looking at them tats what i felt...
therez this lil cave like place there.. the rocks are cool .. and shades u well from the sun.. u feel like cuddling in there.. it s pretty decent if ud ask me...
any place is a beauty to those who know to appreciate it ;)
Oh ye and the grey black rocks around us... after sometime it may look to u as if ur on a rock world..
Spending time there is fun, specially when your with good people.. and of course its a nice place for photo shoots he he... ye u can pose as if u were carrying a boulder etc..
oh by the way .. pls carry your soft drinks... if your not very keen on allowing the local vendors to have a 200% profit on a bottle of slice.. and the walk will really get u dehydrating.. unless your gonna be there early morning...
later for now... :)
