About me

Originally from North Karnataka but I have been living in Bengaluru for more than 10 years now. I started visiting various places soon after graduation in 2012 and since then have traveled extensively across South India. Smitten by wanderlust and bitten by the travel - bug, I have explored numerous places and which I have well documented here on this blog.

 I have covered most of the western ghat treks and I am always in search of new places to visit, new hills to conquer. I have been to more than 80 places near Bangalore and I am set to discover more in the near future. My dream route remains the Manali to Leh and the dream trek to Everest Base camp.


Thanks for showing interest in knowing me. If you are here to collaborate with me then you can read more about it on this link. If you are impressed with my work then you can say your thoughts in the comment section below.

Narayanagiri Hill (Jalamangala) and Thimmappana Betta - Lesser known hills around Bangalore

Image
After my Hampta Pass Trek , I said to myself " Dude you have spent a lot of money this year, no trips for the next 6 months ". It didn't take me much longer to break the promise I made to myself. My friend Bhimu called me to ask for a bike trip to Narayanagiri hills, it has been always on my ToDo list hence I couldn't say no. Best of the Beast: Iconic view of the twin hills at Thimmappa Betta There was literally no information about this trek on the internet (that's the reason I wanted to visit it and write a blog about it). I posted queries in the bikers WhatsApp group asking if anyone visited it. Surprisingly a lot of them had visited this place and the response was good. I watched GoPro.man's video which gave me a pretty good idea about what to expect.  Only me and Bhimu were on the confirmed list for this ride. Sunday morning:  I woke up at 6 am and got ready in half an hour. I picked up Bhimu from Kengeri bus stop at 7 am. Metro constructions
