Avoid summer Best of the Beast: Beautiful Chunchi Waterfalls My friend Satish had got a new Royal Enfield Bullet a couple of months back. After getting his new bike his first and the only ride was to Swami Nityananda Ashram in Bidadi. Now that he had all the blessings from great Nityananda Swami :P, I wanted him to join me for a short ride. I would usually prefer a trekking place around Bangalore but I was very lazy climb this time. So we decided to visit Mekedatu and Sangam instead. I pinged a couple of my friends to see if they want to join the ride. Finally, 7 people turned up for the ride. Tea and bike rides are an integral part of my life Sunday Morning: We decided to assemble near the Nice Road junction on Kanakpur road at 7 am. Being a typical
