In the Western Ghats of Karnataka!
Although i want to chronologically write my post , iam unable to do it - my mind decides the topic !
This was my last trip in Karnataka /India in December 2012 !
Breathtaking view from the high altitude 1380 meters above the sea level !
The landscape surrounding the rock !
It does not matter if I look too small to the world and if the world cannot see me ....
The thrill is that " I can see the World"
In the western ghats of beautiful Karnataka - 60kms away from
Bangalore - the IT Capital of South East Asia , is the
beautiful rocky hills called as Shiva Gange in the district called as
Tumkur .
A quick one day trek trip for Bangaloreans !
1380 Meters above the sea level .The overhanging rock and the trial goes around it verticle making it a little dangerous...There are many hills around this hill and the rocks are made up of mostly granite !
At times climb becomes almost verticle! After a certain point!
The rocks are made of granite and there are railings for support in the difficult path.
A 2 hour climb all the way to the top .
Thats the suicide spot where iam sitting ! Lolz...
The story behind the spot..!
In olden age In Karnataka- during the reign of King Vishnuvardana - his Queen Shantala practiced dance at behind this spot where there was a large space!
Queen Shantala committed suicide after jumping from this spot because she was depressed of not having children's .- thats the haunting history and it is believed that even today the villagers hear haunted noises around in the Mid-Night! at this Spot where iam sitting !
The Villagers believe that her restless soul wanders for peace even today at around this spot ......
As usual in India on any hill top a temple is found and so there is a temple of Lord Shiva on the top of the Hill! There is a nandi rock temple at the top of the Hill..
Reached the Top !
On the way one might find a lot of Monkeys ...but i love those angry looking monkeys!
Happy Wasting time !
