Like our unusual plans all of sudden striking out for weekend, this time it was flashing at "Chunchi Falls".It was 6:30 AM and we all set target to visit one of the beautiful spots, all along the way gracious Cauvery traverses and it was "Chunchi falls". If you plan for a well known picnic spot "Mekaedatu", don't ever miss to visit Chunchi !!!
Tightening the grip on throttles to rush more fuel and air into the engine, honking loud on passers off the road, heating the tires with stretches on more bends and turns, our day hangout started in its own way. With a little breakfast at Kanakapura, 50 kms from Bangalore, we again geared up further to our target.
In another 30 Kms, a yellow-black route board flashed on us, greeting to "Chunchi falls" at 6 Kms off the branch, just 12 Kms before "Mekaedatu" .We were completely blank about this falls on how it is going to be, even I am sure most of the people would have just heard about there is Chunchi falls, if they have made a trip only to Mekadatu, or even not!.
Not only the engine heated up, we too were slowly getting warmed, then heated in just few hours ahead for the noon. So with out much thinking, we rode ahead to see Chunchi.
Just by a quick look on our curious faces, a small boy offered a help to locate the falls, after we stopped our bikes under a tree, which is known to be parking place for the spot! I hope it is his regular duty to make money by tiring us in this blank visit, but his guidance is indeed required that we realized in few minutes!
We passed many boulders, bushes and bald rocks, at last arrived at the place where cauvery has just crafted the beauty of indefinite imaginations all along the way. You can never see it at the first sight after you just stopped at the top of the terrain.
Having an anxious walk on this slippery rocks and few second stops to relax, in between It finally excited us to breathe along this marvelous creation by Arkavathi.
There is confluence of Cauvery and Arkavathi rivers, but unlike Sangamam, there was not much left over plastics, due to less picnickers and quiet! There was not much gushing noise as it was summer and of less water.
It is highly dangerous on getting down the rocks though you can definitely tingled by these sculptors, but unless you remember the way to be back, you would get lost! There were no straight paths rather only turns, bends, and slopes to check if you are really brave enough!
It was absolutely calm finally, which even you wont get on any meditations, that kind of peacefulness.
It is a trip that requires no planning, no delibrate time but to be energetic to climb down and up the rocks, willingness to heartedly breathe on her showers!
