Decided to take a long impending break from work this week. So I headed out to Bangalore to catch up with my good friends and travel companions. Considering that it was a long weekend we were really pushing our luck and calling up all the nearby locations for a room. Luckily we didn't find any and decided to take the advice of Bhavin's friend and try out a homestay kindof place out near Chicmangalur. Boy was it wonderful. A beautiful coffee estate nestled up in a small valley sufficiently far away from the hotspots. It is around 60kms from Chickmangalur but the roads are horrendous so be prepared to cover than in 90mins to 2hrs. Since a picture says a thousand words here are a few.
Btw none of us carried our cameras so these were from my phone cam. The trip turned out to be around 5k/person for the 2 days. A bit higher since we drove there. But the drive was beautiful especially since its around now that the paddy crops are planted and the variety of lush green all around could have given disney animators goosebumps.
But the highlight of the trip was the amazing food at the resort. Mangy food always rocks! esp the shevai with coconut milk was the best.
