Chakra dam. Chakra nagar, Hosanagara, shimoga

After visiting the nagara Shivappa nayaka fort, we have been to chakra reservoir, which is one of the water source for linganamakki dam, River sharavathi is the mother for this belt, we have spoken to the security and they shared that many of the regional film's were shooting regularly, securities are friendly :-) unfortunately they don't have better shelter at least to secure from rain ! visiting vehicle numbers will be noted to control illegal activities, there are wild animals in these reservoirs area, we have seen one dead cow attacked by leopard, from chakra dam we can see kodachadri hills in summer season. Complete area looks as no mans land, mixture of greenery and wonderful landscapes completed the camera buffet. We moved towards savehaklu dam.

After visiting the Jog Falls we moved towards Linganamakki Dam  which is 7 KM away from jog falls, we didn't get a chance to visit inside the dam due to heavy rain. This dam receives water mainly from rainfall and also from the Chakra and Savahaklu reservoirs, once you came out from Jog Falls you will see a road on the right side towards Kargal from this road you need to travel 7 KM to reach Linganamakki Dam. Abundant greenery drizzling rain tends us to take snaps in a very quick time. Here is some snaps of Linganamakki Dam.
Just after the linganamakki dam back side there is a beautiful Chowdeshwari temple located in Joga nature and it reminds the perfect match of nature and god.

Jog Falls, Sagara Taluk, Shimoga, Karnataka

It's a monsoon motor bike ride towards western part of Karnataka, we were started all the way from Bangalore to Shimoga, first place is the famous Jog Falls, looking at the heavy monsoon our enthusiasm was not disappointed and we know this could get some good snaps at last. Roads are pretty nice and conform with not much jerk but one has to be careful while driving in wet roads. Sharavathi River dropping from 253 m and is the second highest in India.

Heavy Monsoon was the reason that the local management closed the gate of walking path towards the Jog falls,  a lot of visitors were seen to catch the JOG Falls beauty, we were waited almost 40 min in view point to catch the perfect shot. moving clouds just as curtains to the falls, as every struggling step creates a remembering historical path. Every human being thinks in a different perspective to live his life. I felt no difference b/w my dreams and the visiting places which provoke me to share my thoughts as new  post. As every human being visiting the same places and sometimes chose a same subject to express his ideas but the final output will be awesome which gathers his own life aspects and things , we should not follow blindly any path which was already explored. I wrote the above statements only because one of my team mate asked the same question and I tried to replied like above.
