9 Days, two road trips, two exquisite destinations...
First One - Mumbai to Belgaum
How do I put it, ever got tired eating delicious, sumptuous chocolates, pastries or any sweet for that matter, ofcourse this question is for the ones with a sweet tooth...Well, no matter how much you eat, your hand will still rush to get that one more piece. ..Isn't it...
Well for
me, traveling does the same to my soul, no matter how many times, we
might have traveled to various locations, the very thought of traveling
and exploring new and old places, revives my soul and readies it for a
new adventure...
As usual me and my better half had promised ourselves of not going on any random adventures especially after our spooky adventure from Bhandardara....which almost got us lost on top of a hill, with the road leading towards the jungle 7 in the night, and a dangerous slope running around the curvy road...with not enough place to turn around...it was hell of an adventure, finally when we turned around, and got signal just for a second in our cell phones...to make us realize, that there is a higher power somewhere, who guides us and protects us...and puts up with our crazy shit....
anyhooooo....now
that we are alive and kicking...we thought of embarking on a semi scary
adventure...Of exploring a forest and a local waterfall in a quite
village of Shundi known as Shundi Waterfalls, somewhere in the outskirts
of Belgaum, where there were no clear steps and we had to walk through
the stream, only to realize that it is quite slippery and attempting to
walk through the flowing stream might lead us not to just see the
waterfall at the foot, but actually take us down in full swing with the
fast water flowing from atop the hill....
So.......so much so for our
crazy adventure, we thought of skipping the unnecessary dare devilry
instead settled for a quite snack amidst the luscious fields, caught a
shot of a cute bird merrily chirping along and pecking at a grass
stalk..
While on our way back, we made a point to visit an Ancient Hindu Shiva Temple know as Vaijnath Temple supposedly built by the Pandavas some say 2000 years ago. It was a total surreal experience, as they say this is a "Svayambhu" Temple, meaning Self-manifested or that which is created by its own accord.
And just when we were driving back from a fun filled evening, the rain came pouring down and filled up the air with much needed mysticism...And as we peered our way through the rain slashing on our windshield the car swiftly swirled across the hills and gave us the much needed adrenalin rush...
So I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as we did...tune in for more pictures and stories from our next road trip from Belgaum to Goa...and Goa to Mumbai...
As of now, relish the exquisite scenery and breathtaking views of some parts of the good old town from Karnataka, Belgaum....
Pictures of the luscious fields, scenery passing along, a friendly villager posing for the camera doing his chores, had fun racing a kid on the backseat of a bike, nice country roads winding towards the village nearby, sight of two blissful trees, and man taking his cattle for gracing...hope you enjoy the virtual ride, as much we enjoyed the real one....
Cheers!
