Christmas Getaway :)

So, my boyfriend got a new car and we had to go somewhereJ.

Yes, five friends jumped into our new metallic silver Hyundai Accent and drove towards Kanakpura road on NH 209 off Bangalore. It was a pleasant drive through the vast lanes of NICE road and then narrowing down through the Kanakpura road surrounded by banana plantations and coconut groves. Our first stop was at Chunchi Falls. You need to make your way through a village to reach there.  The area is famous for silkworm farming and you can find the worms being laid out in the sun in front of the villagers’ houses to derive the fibre from the cocoons of the larve. Chunchi falls was calm and scerene. Not many people visit the place and so the rocks and adjoining forest area were clean and polished. We played in the river water and lazed around for quite sometime before resuming our journey.

Our next stop was Sangam, a picnic spot for many locals and people from nearby places. The fish fry was amazingly tasty there. It was noon and all of us were hungry and relished the fish to the last bite. 

The river water was particularly low at one point and you need to cross it to take a ride in one of the old Malgudi day buses which lead you to the next big spot, Mekedat. The place is wide and spotlessly clean making it a good place to hang out and eat some good food with your bunch.

We retired around 5 pm quite tired. The experience was a great one and we managed to get some amazing clicks too!!
