It took me a year to adjust. Life has become too industrious for me these days. So I took a break from my weekly routine and planned this trip. The Narahari Parvatha (Hill) always fascinated me. The hill is located adjacent to the NH No 48 (now renamed as NH-75).https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/temples-of-keladi-and-ikkeri/Sat, 26 Feb 2011 14:42:23 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/temples-of-keladi-and-ikkeri/This is second part of the Shimoga Trip. In this part I am writing about the fine temples of Keladi and Ikkeri. Keladi and Ikkeri were under the regime of Nayaka Dynasty. Nayakas of Keladi were an important ruling dynasty of post-medieval Karnataka, India. They initially started to rule as a feudatory of the Vijayanagar Empire. After the fall of the empire in 1565, they gained independence and ruled significant parts of Karnataka including Shimoga.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/sigandooru-in-the-backwaters-of-sharavati/Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:27:00 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/sigandooru-in-the-backwaters-of-sharavati/Whenever we hear about the word ‘backwaters’… the only state of India which come into the mind is Kerala…. undoubtedly Kerala is home to the most beautiful backwaters on the planet. Last month (Dec2010) I visited the place called Signadooru… a small village in the backwaters of the river Sharavati (Linganamakki reservoir). The trip was an unplanned. My relatives went to attend a marriage function at Sagar, a beautiful place in the Shimog district.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/a-round-of-siddra-betta/Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:42:37 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/a-round-of-siddra-betta/It is my fourth visit to Tumkur. Everytime I traveled through the National Highway No. 4 (Bangalore-Pune NH) road, I always used to wonder about rocky mountains on either side of the road. Being a nature lover, I always wanted to visit each and every rock personally. But practically speaking it is not possible. So I have chosen some of the famous Rocks of Tumkur. My aim is to treck some of the rocks of Tumkur.https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/safari-in-bannerughatta/Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:50:18 +0000https://harishbhat.com/tour-and-travel/safari-in-bannerughatta/It took me really long time to include one more post in my blog.
