9th May 2019
Day 1

Date : 10th May'19, Friday
Venue: Bengaluru

We left Bengaluru around 6.15AM. We were 4 people on 3 bikes. We reached Bhadra wildlife sanctuary by 11.15AM with only one stop in the middle for breakfast.

Our plan was to visit Bhadra wildlife sanctuary, but later we came to know that we could hardly find animals, we decided not to get in there. We were yet figuring out what next would be.

Meanwhile we visited Bhadra Dam (No pictures were clicked as there was hardly any water). After strolling around the Dam for a while, we bumped into this small canal with fresh water. We saw kids and men swimming around. We decided to join them

These are some pictures I managed to click there.
After playing there for some time, we decide to head to Lion & Tiger safari, Shivamogga, which is at round 40kms.

Our next destination was Datta Peeta, Baba Buddan Giri! As it was Saturday, it was very crowded. Its better to visit during weekdays to avoid chaos. Datta peeta offers Beautiful view 360°.
