Jaunting out on weekends - Mekedatu trip

Dear friends,

I will just explain you how a spirit less, dull plan of a trip become so exiting.

On Thursday after a stressful working hours my mind begging for a change on this weekend. I just googled a picnic place near to Bangalore. Places filtered in my PC window in a minute. I just took a random look, a place caught my attention. Pearl Valley!!.

I collected more info on Pearvalley. The place is almost 40 KM from Bangalore city. A tiny falls appears like a pearl droplets when water drops from almost 90 fts height.I pass on this message to my friends and I got a green signal from my friends. At the end of Saturday we were ready with two Apache and a Perfect male Pulsar.

Sunday morning a perfect mould for a outing.Morning mist greeted us all the way to bannergatta Road where we had tea and headed towards Pearl Valley. One stretch from there and believe me place is very much disappointing.We were unable enjoy the tiny falls which was like a water dropouts of overhead tank. It was 10.30 am.

We straight away decided to move to Mekedaatu and no more thought we were almost there at Mekedaatu by 12.30. Exactly 70 KM from Pearlvally and very good road towards Kanaka Pura. Enjoyed the ride all the way.

So destination reached by 12.30 PM. Absolutely stunning place. Place is Sangama of Kaveri and Arkavathi and 6 KM ahead Mekedaatu. First we need to cross Sangama with a Teppa and then through bus till Mekedaatu. But we walked all the way. Mekedaatu is really wonderful where river just crosses through a small passage of rocks where Sheep's can cross.So the name "Meke Daatu".

We almost exhausted playing in water and taking snaps returned back after 3 hours. Then we returned back waling back to Sangama. we had bath and started to move back to Banmgalore thinking about next day's busy life.
