National Highway 66 (NH 17) Mangalore to Karwar

National Highway 66 (17 early) is one of the finest route in Karnataka, this road is being widened due to over traffic, every snap will be a history for the future, people have so much love when they see the old album, and of course till today i have took more than a thousand shots, and is being found in many websites without copyright guilt and without courtesy for owner. As i said above every snap is valuable for future and would be helpful to compare the same place OR area in major changes.

Sirsi Marikamba Temple, Sirsi, Uttara Kannada

Sirsi Marikamba Temple.

Finest art on the temple walls and doors is the main attraction of sirsi marikamba temple, busiest streets, small roads and plane area of healthy vegetation is the reason for this growing city. There are many places around Sirsi where nature is the key which attracts more visitors, tourism and agriculture is the main economic background.

Joida, Uttara Kannada district, Karnataka

Blog writing is became an hobby for me, where ever I go I could catch some best snaps and write it in my blog and this is useful when I am asking myself a question why I had been to those places, I have been to Joida taluk on the way to Dandeli, Joida taluk is in Uttara kannada district of Karnataka, 90% of the total area of this taluk covered by Kali river forest (Anshi National forest) this forest provides habitat for india’s most rarest animals and birds, Seems the paddy is the major agricultural output from this area, as a taluk place i never see well boarding facility or the best hotel, i like the way these places are still, where these places are doesn’t have touch to modernization. We were stayed at William’s homestay at Joida quite a good hospitality.

Joida is 25 Km away from Dandeli taluk and 95 Km from Hubli, Most of the visiting places are much nearer to Dandeli so could be the reason that this place is isolated.

Dudhsagar Falls, Goa, (Near to Castle Rock Railway station)

We had Been to Dudhsagar Falls recently, we have traveled to this place by train and we have covered most of the places near by. Initially we have started from Bangalore but we were get down at Arasikere to join our team.
That was a Sunday, We do not have the regular train Chalukya which is running from Bangalore to Mumbai, one more train Sharavathi which is running only on Sunday from Mysore to Dadhar via Londa and Collem, train was running 2 Hrs late, we got the train at 11:00 AM at Arasikere and we have reached Hubli around 3:30 PM, our plan was to stay at Hubli and travel to Dudhsagar by the next day, fortunately this train was going via Londa, train reached Londa at 5:30 PM evening, we stayed at near by lodge (not so good), morning we got a train at Londa to Dudhsagar via Castle Rock "we took the return ticket too from Londa", this was our best journey on Konkan Railway, we crossed few stations on the way that is Kashanatti and Tinai Ghat, train is crossing Tunnels and the mountains of western ghats, Train was stopped at Castle Rock station for few minutes to add one more Engine at the back to pull the load in Ghats, Finally we reached Dudhsagar railway station, Dudhsagar Falls is not far from the Railway station, we have crossed Two Tunnels on the way, it was a rainy season obviously plenty of greenery around and we have seen water is drizzling from the top of the mountains and the tunnels, there are few falls where we spent the time in water falls, we took many shots on the way and of Dudhsagar Falls, as this was the Sunday we do not have much time to spend because there will be a one train which is from Mumbai and this train has a stop at Dudhsagar railway station, we packed our camera kits and bags saying good bye to the memorable journey, we came back to Hubli to catch the train for Bangalore.

Note : There are train TC from Dudhsagar station, be aware that you have return ticket to Londa or Hubli, because there is no Ticket counter at Dudhsagar station.

How to Reach Dudhsagar Falls
1. If you are traveling from Public transport you can get the train facility to reach Londa or Dudhsagar railway station, where train is the only public transport that can reach Dudhsagar station, i am pointing to Londa because you can get the facility to stay and then travel. (Remember Lodges are not so maintained properly in Londa)
2. If you have your own vehicle then you can travel to Dudhsagar via Londa - Ramanagar - castle Rock, you could park your vehicle near castle Rock station, as i mentioned above "train is the only public transport that can reach the Dudhsagar station" From here you need to wait for train to Dudhsagar Falls OR you can start trekking from castle Rock but it will be little bit far..
3. You can get the bus to Castle rock from Ramanagara which is 3 Km away from Londa, this bus running on regular schedule. First trip starts at 8:00 Am morning everyday, These buses are running from Dandeli depot of KSRTC
4. We have not experienced problems with Leeches, unless one will walk into the deep forest.
