Last week end(30th April,2011), we both and my brother's family along with a forced bachelor friend started out on a trip to see the Mekedatu where the kaveri river flows so thin that a goat can cross over that. We travelled on the Kanakapura road till we reached a board showing direction towards Chunche falls. So we were tempted to go in that direction since it was heavily raining at that time, we were left with no hopes to be carried till the Mekedatu.Before this, we had our lunch at the Pyramid Dhyana kendra which served a great Andhra style food and was a great place to spend time in meditation.
From a distance, the falls seemed so simple and quite normal but my great brother and his friend walked a bit further to find out a way which took us very near to the falls. The way went on rocks and between the trees which left us with a feeling as if we were on an adventurous journey. We were lucky to be lead by a villager present there till the actual point. the view from there was too good but we had to be very careful while walking on the rocks.
At last, after enjoying a considerable time there, we left with an aim to reach Sangam where the Rivers Cauvary and Arkavathy meet. The place was not so neat which pulled my husband back from taking a bath there despite carrying an extra pair of dress. My brother and his friend enjoyed the force of flowing waters and were left with great content to be able to take bath in a sangam in the evening time(Sandhya kalam). By the way that day was my brother's b'day according to thithi.
Since the time was late in the evening, we were left with no hopes to reach the Mekedatu. So we started towards our homes with great enjoyment of scenic beauty and great drive in a great whether saved as great memories in our hearts.
