Life was a bit too busy off-late that for the first time, I had a three months gap in updating the site and could not complete some of the trip logs - I have four of them pending at the moment and in all probabilities I may even skip a couple of them. Hopefully I will be able to remember the details for atleast some of the trip logs!

What's new?
Completed the trip log for Manu's first road trip - the three day trip to Valparai. The trip was during the wrong time of the year, but was still memorable, with the winding roads, lush green tea estates and misty terrains of Valparai.
Made it to the top of Amedikallu, with Srini and Chennappa, the guide. It was a beautiful trek, despite the hot sun and the dry streams. We camped near the peak for beautiful views of the surroundings, sunset and sunrise.
With Amal's visit to Bangalore, we visited Siddarabetta caves for a short trek, cave exploration and a beautiful early morning drive.
Trek to Ettina Bhuja was one of my best - thanks to a wonderful group of spirited trekkers and the ideal weather. We started from Shishila @ the banks of Kapila river, camped @ Bhairaveshwara temple in the night, reached the peak and got back to Shishila the next day.
A quick escapade to Maidanahalli Blackbuck sanctuary for a photo shoot of the beautiful Antilope and the amazing birdlife within the sanctuary. This was followed by an outing from Firetide to Sivanasamudram for the Gaganachukki and Barachukki waterfalls. We had a blast, especially at the Barachukki, where we could get right underneath the water falls.
