Pune to Srisailam

Image
Day 1  Pune to Srisailam  We had packed and loaded most of our bags on the previous day itself. We targetted to start by 2 am. By God's grace and cooperation from the kids we could start by 1:34am.  We had to cover ~800kms and hence this midnight travel was much needed to skip the traffic.  The roads were very smooth making the drive pleasurable and convenient. We covered around 450kms before taking a stop for breakfast at around 8:30am. It was a small outlet who could serve us tea, coffee and some dosa. We had some paranthas from home which served the purpose. The next stop was at 12:55pm for lunch at Hotel Sunrise. It was a clean place with decent food. The curry was on the spicier side and the tandoori roti was made of maida. We started at 1:35pm after having lunch to reach pathala ganga by 4:20pm. This is a sacred holy water on the banks of river Krishna. You need to descend around 450 steps to reach the bank. We stepped in the...

Isha Foundation - Chikkaballapur

Image
While in Bengaluru, we decided to visit Isha Foundation at Chikkaballapur. It is founded by Sadhguru. We started from home by around 5 pm. It was 60kms away, roughly an hour and a half's drive. Once we were out of the city traffic, we took the highway towards Hyderabad. It was scenic view all through the way. We munched on the way and played a few games of Sudoku. We reached our destination by around 6:45pm. Isha Foundation houses a 112 foot Adiyogi(Shiva) statue.  There's a huge mahashula temple and naga temple as well at the entrance. Footwears need to be removed at the collection centre near the entrance which are then transferred to the other centre inside for easy collection. There's no entry fee to the foundation or for the light & sound show. We wanted to have tea. There were 2 restaurants inside. Only one of them was providing boiled tea. We finished our share of tea before settling down for the light and sound show.   There...
