Pearl Valley is a not so famous seasonal waterfall south of Bangalore near Anekal. It is hardly 30 odd kilometers from South Bangalore. The environs are pleasant. The lone hotel run by the Govt. of Karnataka is clean, serves edible food, and reasonably priced. I am sure the view of the water fall must be stunning, when the water level is sufficient.
One needs to descend almost 200 odd meters from the parking lot to view the waterfall. The curious ones from our group found a trickling stream. What else could one expect in December?
Chickatrupati is in the Kolar district - we took a dirt road from some where outside of Varatur to reach this place. We didn't visit the temple, had some food at a road side joint. Some crazy bunch of riders we are :)
A funny incident transpired earlier in the day. We had assembled just outside the HAL airport. We as in 38 bikes. On a cold December morning. Barely a week after 20-something year olds had unleashed terror in the streets of Bombay. Needless to say our cops were edgy. Apparently there was a security threat to Bangalore. Two cops came up and asked us all kinds of questions - "Who are you?", "Where are you going?", "Are you all together?", "Do you have permission for a road rally?", "Where is your road permit?", "Did you take permission from the Police commissioner?". I couldn't help howling like a hyena :) :)
None of their questions made sense, but we do appreciate their concern. I hope they remain vigilant, if only for a few days.
A big thanks to the ride organizers and all the junta who showed up. Xie Xie.
