I took these pictures when we visited Kudremukh mountains last year. Since it is just 60 kms from here we go there often ..It is one of my favorite places because it is not all that crowded and we keep discovering new trails and paces within the mountain range
Breathtakingly beautiful locations Usha! Are these mountains a part of Western ghats?? that is Sahyadri ranges? Because they are very similar to what we have around Pune and Mumbai.
This is a picture of a valley I took from Warandha Ghat, at the far bottom you can see red roofs of village houses. A little ahead from this spot, we experienced reverse rainfall, meaning the clouds covering the valley were sending water drops up towards the sky due to force of the winds. It was an amazing experience.

Reverse rainfall? Never heard or experience it. But I came across a video showing water running upstream in some particular place. Nature is full of beautiful but strange experience.

I think it is Albizia saman, surprisingly we also call it Shirish in Marathi.
I guess that is a common name for this flower because it is called shirish even in Kannada , there are different shades of it deep pink and a very light shade of pink

Beautiful picture Kalyani ...I too have seen this reverse flow if water up in the mountains when there is an imbalance in temperatures.
Kudremukh is in the Sahyadri range and there are many beautiful small towns like theerthahalli, Shimoga, Agumbe and Chikmaglur located in and around. Most of them have coffee plantations and are very scenic . Of late they are filled with tourists during peak seasons and the locals though get revenue feel that if it continues can have a negative impact

This is so beautiful. Appears warm and cozy. Would surely love to see more images taken from different angles.

Once in my student life I visited to South but it was limited upto big cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Mysore and Mumbai. So I could not watch these locations. I am living in North Rajasthan and it is dry area. South Rajasthan have some beautiful locations.
Parramatta Ferry Station - Sydney, Australia. Ferry is one of the greatest ways to have a Funday on Sundays for only $2.5 for the entire day (any number of trips by any public transport in city and suburbs). I once traveled to almost 20 destinations by bus, train and ferry on a Sunday for only $2.5 which would cost $128 on other than Sundays.
I have posted this photo here also but in bigger size as Boddunan doesn't allow to post in that size.

Very economical!
Wonderful chance for the people there I guess. A great initiative to attract tourists

What a beautiful photo! It is actually so refreshing and amazing to see such nice, clean and pollution free environment on a waterfront!
It's one of the most beautiful artificial lake in Auburn suburb of Sydney. This lake is inside Japanese park which has a lot to watch. The Auburn Botanical garden houses birds, animals, trees and flowers in different sections.

This is the photo of Laxmi-Narsimha in Hampi, a truly magnificent and beautiful monolith statue. Originally, there was Laxmi sitting on the lap of Narsimha on the right side, but the idol was cruelly broken off and vandalized by Islamic invaders in the 16th century. So were thousands of other temples and shrines!

Only God know how many idols and temples they broken off. At present their followers crying for a structure to whom they named Mosque. A Mosque to whom they never used as mosque.

The place looks so neat and beautiful. Saw your 5.4 MB resolution image as well. What type of animals are there? just getting a bit curious!

Hampi in Karnataka is an excellent UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's filled with plenty of ruined temples. Thank you so much for sharing this rare statue. If you have more such statue images, then please do share.

I was told about this place during my posting in Bangalore a long time back and had a chance to visit this place with one of my coworkers during our official visit to Hospet. I think it's one of the best lot of ruins I have ever seen anywhere in India. Maybe you get as many ruins in Qutub complex Delhi but Hampi is spread over much larger area.

I have visited Hampi several times and I am sure will do so many more times because it is so vast and you can keep on walking around the ruins and go across to the river banks and visit Aihole , Badami and Pattadkal - all of which are equally beautiful and close by. It is one of my favorite destinations.
If you ever happen to be in Canberra, don't forget to visit Beijing Garden. It will give you an entirely different atmosphere making you believe that you were in ancient China.
