13-Apr-08 6.00 AM I started morning and driving towards BR Hills in Bangalore-Mysore state high way. When I crossed Yelandur and entered in forest road, its really amazing place to ride ride ride.
I reached BR Hills temple(top of the hill) and spend some time, nothing to see in this place other then temple & view point. No activity in this place other then temple & view point. We can have some good time pass seeing greenish place.
After I started my ride to K Gudi to go for some safari, Once I reached K Gudi, then only I realized, safari only for booked people, not for public. Bad part in this place, no hotel, no tea stall, nothing to buy. But good forests for time pass.
I started my return journey from this place & decided to go through mysore, I traveld towards Chamrajnagar, its forest road, good place to ride & nice time. I took my very late lunch in Chamrajnagar and started to Bangalore.
One more wonderful week end !! Worth to ride in forest road !! Just keep riding in forest

Everybody have to visit Br hills and especially kgudi resort, it is just heaven.It is a bit expensive but worth it.

Had been there last month. Its amazing. To stay u need to book at Jungle lodges, MG Road bangalore(the complex next to the old plaza theather) Cost is Rs. 3000 per head per day.
Check in 12 pm
check out the next day 11am.
Includes lunch, dinner breakfast, safari, camera charges, trek in the morning or another safari. Worth staying for a day.
