I started from Bangalore in the hired taxi at 6.30 AM and reached Kushalnagar by 11.30 AM. First I decided to visit Budha golden temple. It was very big temple with big statues of Budha. It was very well maintained and my kids liked this place. It was very peaceful Tibetan architecture.
I had booked hotel earlier at Kushalnagar( Mahalaxmi residency). A good budget hotel close to Nisargadham. So I went at 1 PM to hotel took some rest and had lunch at the same place. At 3.00 PM we again started from hotel and decided to cover tourist stops near Medikari. Medikari is 30 KM hilly drive from kushalnagar. We reached Medikeri by 4.00 PM and straight went to Abbey Fall. It was beautiful place, one side there is fall of water and to see this beautiful fall there is hanging bridge. I like the way they constructed the bridge etc. We spend around 30-40 min at the fall and then started for Raja seat park.
One can see beautiful mountains, lush greenery, blue mist and yes unforgettable Sun set view. Again well thought of arrangement to sit and watch beautiful nature and Sunset.
After sunset we visit lord Omkareshwar temple at around 6.30 PM and then headed back to kushalnagar at 7.30 PM. We had dinner at Kushalnagar and came hotel at 9 PM.
Next day we started our trip at 8.30 AM and straight went to Dubare Forrest. Dubare forest is around 15 KM from kushalnagar and their we enjoyed boating and elephant ride. The most enjoyable moment was ticket to literary bath the elephant in the river. The elephant will come go in the river and all the people their will wash elephant by throwing water on the elephant.
Around 11.30 we started for Nisargdham. Nisargadham is the place where you have river, Elephant ride, Deer park, shops and park for kids. We stayed there for three hours. The most enjoyble moment for kids was feeding cabbages to Deer.
After having lunch we started to Bangalore at 3 PM and reached home at 8.30 PM. Yes on the way we took break at Kamat Hotel for 30-40 Min.
Car Hire cost was 6.50 per KM and our trip total distance came around 620 Kms. The best thing about the having hired car was getting the guide( driver) as well who was well versed with the places and could take us quickly and safely in to those hilly places.
It was good short trip and My family liked it very much.
