TRIP TO HOGENAKKAL FALLS
POSTED BY SAKTHI DASAN ON SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 2009Vijay Samraj - One of our office colleague got engaged and gave invitation for his marriage to us. Marriage was on 14th July 2008 - Monday. Its really tough for us to attend his marriage on Monday morning. So we planned to attend his engagement function which was on 13th July 2008 evening. We started from Bangalore by car on 12th July 2008 evening at around 3pm. We got struck in huge traffic near electronic city and it took more than an one hour to cross electronic city. We reached hosur at around 6.30 pm. After having a short "commerical" break, we started to move to Dharmapuri - the marriage place.
TRIP TO KOLLIMALAI - "THE MOUNTAINS OF DEATH"
POSTED BY SAKTHI DASAN ON TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2009Feb 14th 2009 - Valentine's Day.... Our Sangam members [See last picture for our Sangam members] don't have any valentine to celebrate the day...What to do.... Suddenly we got an idea to have a trip to Kollimalai...Some of the members in our Sangam got afraid by the name of the place...KOLLIMALAI...[The Mountains of Death]!!!! Later we consolidated everything and we started to execute our plan. We kicked our bikes at early moring 6 am to move to Yelagiri... Nothing much to say about Yelagiri since we didn't find any enjoyable place .Immediately we turned our bikes to Kollimalai. Our plan is Bangalore > Salem > Rasipuram> Kollimalai> Raasipuram> Salem > Bangalore.....
On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon’s umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan’s Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon’s penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.
At sunrise on July 22, 2009, (the evening of July 21 PDT), the moon’s umbra—the cone-shaped part of the moon’s shadow—will fall on India’s Gulf of Khambhat. The shadow will sweep across Asia and the South Pacific before leaving the earth near the Marshall Islands about 3½ hours later. The path of totality will cover a distance of approximately 9,500 miles (15,200 km). The maximum duration of totality is an exceptionally long 6 minutes and 39 seconds, which will come while the shadow is over the Pacific.
A beautiful view from 32nd hair pin bend..
Way to Agasa Gangai Falls...
We took an "Adventurous" bath in the falls and started to move from that place. Now we realized our mistake - chuckling on others when we started to move from top to falls. It was really a hard time for us to step up back to the top where we parked our bikes.
Turn back photos - Taking a picture to remember how we stepped up these steps..???
Snap taken from a view point..in the mid when we took some rest..
Our rest is not enough...Its me over there climbing with the help of a support...Too tired...
Hurray...we reached our destination and we reached here at 6pm. Almost it took 1 1/2 hrs to reach here.
Our bad for the day was still alive...When we reached top, we found one of our bike is punctured...In mid of the village one person helped us to solve our puncture..Really we are so thank full for that unknown person who trusted us by giving his air pump to re-fill the air to reach the shop.
Our punctured bike..
While returning back we took some night view from Kollimalai....Down is the excellent view...
Here is our Sangam...From right to left [ Jaffer, Prakash, Nagaraj, Prem and me...Missing Satish is taking this picture]
We reached down hill at 8pm and started our journey back to Bangalore. We reached Bangalore at some where around 3am on the next day...
We immensely enjoyed this trip even though we started the day with bad luck....
