Kudremukh\u00a0 was one place that I had read about and wanted to visit. Having come to Mangalore , i didnt want to miss out on the opportunity and decided\u00a0 to hit for the hills when we\u00a0 could manage some time off.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A hundred odd\u00a0 km away from Mangalore, the drive through the\u00a0 kudremukh national park is invigorating and\u00a0\u00a0 the scenery\u00a0 can be summed up as just Picture perfect !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On way we had a\u00a0 300 step trek down to the Hanumangundi falls nestling in the lap of the Western Ghats\u00a0 – Judging the long winding pathway\u00a0 downhill, Ambi and Adi decided to power themselves down\u00a0 with spiced\u00a0 pineapple and cucumber slices from a roadside vendor\u00a0 before heading for the same . We started our descent\u00a0 with\u00a0 the sounds of the jungle lending a\u00a0 perfect music .\u00a0 The falls and the\u00a0 stream skirting its way amidst boulders made a wonderful sight . Kids broke into a revelry to an extent that Adu had a slip and a minor fall after running berserk through the\u00a0 sloping\u00a0woods .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The climb up was not as easy as imagined and once we reached back , drove further\u00a0 up , heading towards\u00a0 kudremukh\u00a0\u00a0via \u00a0ganga moola and lakhya dam .<\/p>\n

The evergreen sholas and undulating hills in myriad hues of green is a feast for the eyes . Wildlife sighting is difficult cause of the dense\u00a0 thickets – there were boards put up cautioning us on snakes, however we could spot just the\u00a0 langurs and a mongoose scurrying for cover .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were running short of time\u00a0 and hence a\u00a0 walk through the hills to explore ,\u00a0 however tempting it was, didnt materialize.<\/p>\n

Thus\u00a0 had to reluctantly bid goodbye\u00a0 to the lovely hills\u00a0 — but\u00a0\u00a0i realize that they never cease to\u00a0 allure me back \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
