Horanadu Annapoorneshwari Temple, Horanadu, Mudigere Taluk, Chikmagalur

I am always interested to write something which comes in my mind and i am very humble to gather those people who are having the same level of interest. Writing is a profession for some of the people and they use to write in that pattern where no practical images would require to justify the present the fact. In my case i never sit and write to the facts or any presence, i just go out with my camera and back with some memorable snaps to have those images to justify the present and fact. These images shouldn't be meant only for trekking, in turn i use to take all those shots that would create some level of interest to the blog visitors. Some people use to travel abroad to visit the places and make a hobby to explore the world. Here i am trying to explore the macro level of those places which we are lived and living.

Horanadu Annapoorneshwari temple comes in Mudigere taluk of Chikmagaluru district. A beautiful place in between the mountains and also a sacred place of the godess Aadishakthyathmaka Sri Annapoorneshwari Devi. This temple looks like a typical Malenadu house as we could see in Dharmasthala and Kukke Subramanya temples. Where Dharma stands there the God's supreme power. Here the beauty of the nature and GOD creates a magical abstract to the devotees. All and all Horanadu is a beautiful place which is known for the goddess Sri Annapoorneshwari and the eye catching nature.

Samse Tea Estate near Kudremukh, Chikmagalur, karnataka

After traveling 62 KM towards Kudremukha from karkala, a beautiful tea estate is viewable on the road. It is Ganga tea depot at Samse. Samse is a name of the place where this tea estate comes. There is one Sri Sarva Siddhi Ganapathy temple in the middle of the tea estate. The idea of constructing and choosing the place is really a wonder. One will really feel that he is in the cradle of nature and God. There were lot of films were shooting and of-course this is an awesome place to take some time to enjoy the beauty of the nature and the magic of the God.
There is a tea point at the road side, before entering to the samse tea point (Akshaya Traders) i was just thinking that these shops are just to showcase the tea product which is growing locally, but i was wrong. We hadn't have the tea after the breakfast at Bajagoli and ordered a cup of tea. I was really surprised by the tea taste. We have taken some suggestion to make a delicious tea and we bought 1 KG of tea powder and we have tried at home and tasted the same that we had at Samse.

This place comes in kudremukh and the place name is Samse.
