I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don’t know where it goes
But it’s home to me and I walk alone
Update : 6 of us, Murali, Niteesh, Boony, Luther, Arun and moi took off at 9 PM on Friday night on a Toyota Qualis.
Boon and Arun : Check out Boon’s shades! 
Coorg/ Madikeri is about 250 Kms from Bangalore. We hit Mysore road from Bannerghatta Road. The road was awesome till Srirangapatna, then it was getting kinda bumpy.
The weather was quite pleasant and it actually started pouring Cats n Dogs by the time we reached Kamat’s. We hogged some really hot n yummy Corn Chappatis. Then these jokers started drinking and smoking.
It was 4.15 am when we reached Coorg on Sat morning. The KSTDC hotel accomodation that we Blocked neva happenned. Finally, we checked into a relatively better hotel called Mercara Inn. Costed Rs 550 bucks for a double bed. Service wasnt that good here. Krishna Bhavan was a decent mess, where we hogged some really tasty Chow Chow Bath.
Talai Cauvery was about 40 kms from Madekeri. We drove through the Coffee Country. Fresh air and the sight of green coffee estates was refreshing. It took us 2 hours to reach Talai Cauvery. I was really dissappointed with what I saw. All i saw was a pond and a small temple in it.
Then we went to a nice temple in Bagamandala and returned back to Madikeri. Hogged some yummy South Indian meals at Hotel Athithi.
Next we went to Abbey Falls, some 8 Kms from Madikere. This place needs to be declared as a “plastic free” zone.
The next day, we went to Harangi Dam which is the first Dam on the Cauvery river.
And then we went to Nisargadama, the confluence of 3 rivers in Kushal Nagar.

yup abbey falls and the coffee estate that we walk through to get to it is pathetically littered

Ravi, when are you coming back to Bangalore?
Fat Albert goes with the flow. No Plans.
Shub,
Well, the forest authorities can charge an entry fee and use that money to keep the place clean. Yea, Nisarghadhama is clean and well kept!
Found this using google. Thanks for publishing so much detail . How far is it from Bangalore? Can I get cars or sth out of BLR to do this ? And do you think there will be something end of May early June worth seeing ?
Its 250 kms from Blore. You can hire a cab or take your own car. The roads a lil bad after Srigangapatna. Mid may should be ideal. It might starts raining.
pls some details about talai cauvery. i am from kumbakonam . pls travelling guide .
Hi Muthu,
Was trying to find out about coorg and bumped into your blog! Was wondering where exactly is this hanging bridge thats shown in one of your photos? Have to mention…gr8 photos pal! I nd my friends are planning for a trip to Coorg in another 2 days. This is gonna be a very short(2 days)trip so was wondering if you could tell me what are the places that we should not be missing. Looking at the photographs that you have posted, u seems to have visited the right places(especially the hanging bridge with lots of greenery in the background). Any info would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you cannot rank high at the top of Google, then you will NOT get the traffic you need.
