What a beautiful day it was on Saturday 16th June. The clouds, the whether, perfect sunlight (to a certain extent) and a beautiful evening. All the way along SH 17, beautiful landscapes, beautifully formed clouds and the shadowed Hills and fields were the most beautiful thing I have witnessed in sometime.
Started the trip a bit late but it turned out to be the perfect time. Stopping at almost every 20 minutes, we got a chance to capture almost everything, nature, mountains, landscapes, people, etc.
A good time to start would be early morning at about 7 AM from Bangalore. The first place to stop would be definitely near Bidadi, where you have beautiful hills on both sides of the road and railway track and the state highway running between them.
Breakfast at Kamat Loka Ruchi is without a doubt you dont want to miss. The Idli's wrapped in coconut leaves are a delight to eat.
You can than carry on towards Chanpattna's very famous wooden toy factory, Maddur's coconut market, Srirangpatna and Ranganthittu bird scantury. Stop for a meal at Srirangpatna and you can get your hands to a decent dish of chicken biryani. The evening time would be best captured from the Srirangpatna bridge. Beautiful landscapes, water and loads of White Breasted King fhisher to capture in flight and resting on wires and branches.
On the way back to Bangalore you can stop at about 1 KM before Kamat Loka Ruchi. The highway is elevated and thus an extremely good location to take some exposure shots.
The best part of the trip was the interactions we have had with people whom we captured and the coconut factory at Maddur. Aaah fresh coconut water was definitely a good deal for no money.
