Gaalipata a Kannada film was shoot at this place.
It’s a winter we were not expected that we would see some greenery around Mandalpatti
but we were not much disappointed and we were really excited in the evening
lights and sunset. We had been to this place by walking the complete 5km from mandalpatti
start gate.
Mandalpatti located around 18 km away from Madikeri,
the road to mandalpatti is on the way to Abbi falls, once you started to travel
on the way to Abbi falls road, you will see the road direction to mandalpatti,
left deviation for Abbi falls and right deviation for mandalpatti, once you
reach the mandalpatti gate you have to park your vehicle OR you have to take a
ticket to your vehicle to reach mandalpatti Point, but the road condition is
not so good to take non-utility vehicle, also you can hire a jeep to reach the
mandalpatti point (Rs 600 -/- for up and down), we have parked our vehicle
nearby and started to trek to reach mandalpatti point, of course we are
trekking enthusiast, on the way we have tried to capture some macro shots,
while passing nearby a pond we have seen elephant scat ! I appreciate Madikeri
is a tourist place but it doesn’t make sense that they are charging fee at
mandalpatti point even though you have paid for your vehicle as a ticket or you
hired a jeep !
Sun is getting red we were prepared to take
some good snaps of sunset, we are really surprised and satisfied as an amateur photographers
and I would say mandallpatti made our trip as complete and a perfect end for a
fantastic day.
How to reach mandalpatti
From Madikeri just pass on Abbi falls road
for a kilometer you will see the two deviation and the right one will take you
to Mandalpatti.
