A Notifying Elemadilu tea estate on the way to Sringeri via Balehonnur

On the way to Sringeri we came across lot of scenes where i have caught the snaps of a beautiful tea estate which is between Balehonnur to Sringeri. As the tag is a traveling photography which tends me to take some good snaps. This tea estate comes on the right side while traveling from Balehonnur to Sringeri, definitely on will stop for a while to catch the beauty of the nature and the surroundings. We have a very limited number of tea growing areas in Karnataka where the Coffee is the majority in plantation. Samse tea Estate (Sri Ganga tea depot OR Goomkhan estate) and Kelagur tea point both are the biggest one which are on the same belt, by this i am slightly going to highlight the places where one can enjoy the nature to the closest. Many of us having the same level of mind to enjoy the beauty of the nature and for those this blog will provide the best time to get around and will help to identify the places to get marked for the next trip.

MULLAYANAGIRI A FAMILIAR PLACE, CHIKMAGALUR, KARNATAKA

MULLAYANAGIRI

Mullayanagiri is the highest peak in Karnataka, Mullayanagiri is located at Chandra Dhrona Hill Ranges of the Western Ghats of Chikmagalur Taluk. We have started around 12:00 PM from our Home town Hassan District and we have reached the Mullayanagiri around 1:30 PM, Road condition is good but need to be aware there are Deadliest Humps between Hassan to Belur that would touch your car belly.
We have carried food stuffs there, Good Thing is you can get the Mobile canteen right near the mountain, this Mobile Canteen available around 4:00 PM evening.
There is nothing to say much, this is one of the highest peak in Karnataka.

How to reach Mullayanagiri.

1. Bangalore – Chikmagalur – Kaimara
2. You need to travel until Kaimara (Mullayanagiri), ask localites for Kaimara near mullayanagiri road, there is one more Kaimara on the way to Chikmagalur – Belur road.

3. There is no Bus facility to Mullayanagiri. You need to have your own vehicle or rented vehicle to reach this place.

Here is some good snaps of Mullayanagiri....
