Enroute to Himavad Gopalaswamy betta - Time - 5:30AM
And so the ranges peep in @ the horizon
@ the foothills of Himavad
The road ahead
The sun tries to show its power, only to be subdued by the Himavad at the foothills
Mini and the Mighty!!
L-R: Myself,Sharath,Dilip,Praveen V S,Chaitanya and Rajesh
Striking contrast
Pics taken when waiting at the Forest gate to open up
Thundering typoons!!
Hillock at a distance
Forest officer cabin??
Clicked away then, now thinking of a concept to relate :)
Blooming Gulmohar
Nowhere to go, at the gate, when the rain atlast dispersed the meet.
Gaining altitude
Trees enroute, filled in fog and wildly waving under the influence of heavy winds at the top
This was the scene throughout!!
Vehicles, unknowing what to do??
Braving the dark
Himavad Venugopalaswamy temple steps
abandoned shack
The road less taken...
cooling ourselves.
density of fog explained
some forest guest house
unraveling new paths
Entering the light
Evidence of recent visit by the wild elephants
Temple steps entrance
Drizzling and fog engulfed temple
View from temple top
The adjacent ranges
The fog a little bit lightened?
Taking the trails
Pond engulfed in Fog
Stone hedge formation on the top
Resisting the heavy winds
Adjacent hill ranges
Sharath, the Man the Model!!
Who says the fog lightened up?
Capturing the plains
The Himavad bettas and the clouds covering them
