ETTINA BHUJA
I know Trekking teams' kept this place as primary in their list, a place where you can just practice your photographic skills.
How to reach Ettina bhuja.
There are three Route to reach Ettina bhuja.
1. Mudigere - Hosakere - Bairapura - Ettina bhuja
2. Shishila (Near Dharmastala) - Ettina bhuja
3. Sakleshpur - Hanubalu - Hosakere - Bairapura - Ettina bhuja
We have chosen the 1st route to reach Ettina Bhuja, because we do not have our own vehicle today, from 1st route you will get the transport facility to reach Bairapura.
If you are traveling from your Own vehicle then no problem, you could park your vehicle at Bairapura.
We have traveled from Hassan to Mudigere by KSRTC bus, we have reached Mudigere around 7:30 AM and we had our breakfast at Mudigere and packed the necessary food and water, there will be a regular KSRTC bus facility from Mudigere to Bairapura, Bus will start at 8:00 AM morning everyday, we are waiting for this bus to start the journey, Bus Crossing the roads of Coffee and tea estates we have crossed Daradahalli and we reached Hosakere cross. We were dropped at Bairapura gate around 9:15AM, from there we began our Journey to Ettina Bhuja. This is one of the best route and short distance to Ettina Bhuja, if you chose 2nd route then it will be a long journey to reach, 3rd one would be the same as 1st route to reach Bairapura, it's via Sakleshpur you will get very less transport facility from this route. As regularly i took some best shots from my gear... :-)
You may also trek Ettina Bhuja from Shishila which is near Dharmasthala, this route stretch is pretty long and you would require a best guide to trek inside the dense forest.
