Confined to home for a few months now, because of personal reasons. Even an official trip to Colombo, Srilanka turned out to be 'strictly official', thanks to the security situation there and 'no-photographs' rule around the place I stayed. Not even a single photo from outdoors :(
I am somehow maintaining the frequency of posts in Thru' the Lens :) Otherwise, updates in the site is zilch! Hope to pick up and travel a little, soon.

What's new?
Another small road trip to Nagarhole, Thirunelli and Kushal Nagar. It was more of a leisurely trip and we still have a few more places to cover in Coorg / Kodagu.
The much awaited trek to Vavul Mala was simply the best. I, along with Josettan ascended the Vavul Mala peak @ 2339m in the Vellarimala ranges all the way from Muthappanpuzha @ abt 450m. Gr8 trek spanning 3 days.
Our first 'official' 'doubles' trek to Pushpagiri aka Kumaraparvatha from Somwarpet side and return via Girigadde and Subramanya. Followed it up next week with a short trek to Shivaganga, 56kms from Bengaluru, @ 1368m, to take a look at the 'Shiva' temple, 'Olakallu Theertha' and a fabulous view of the entire surroundings.
Hit the roads in the Versa after such a long time, to Hampi & North East Karnataka, including Aihole, Pattadakal, Badami, Gol Gumbaz @ Bijapur and forts @ Gulbarga and Bidar. The trip was 5 days long and spanned 1705kms.
