Monsoon Getaway - Jog Falls and Thirthahalli
Monsoon time of the year and I was looking for a short holiday for just over a weekend. As I started looking for a holiday suiting my needs, I found this best holiday package Jog Falls and that too in this season. This was planned by F5Escapes, an all women tour group. And yes, they had called it right, the next 3 days they took us to nature lover’s paradise where we could unwind ourselves amidst nature. Let me take you all on this monsoon getaway. Day 1 : We started our journey from Bangalore around 6 am in the morning, after picking everyone from all areas of Bangalore, we halted for Breakfast at 10 Am. Post that we drove for next 5 hours to reach our destination “Inchara Homestay” in Thirthahalli taluk of Shimoga District, Karnataka. This homestay is nestled amidst areca nut and coffee plantations in the little village of Mandagadde. The simplicity and elegance of this sets it apart from several other homestays in Karnataka. We were treated with a wholesome lunch on arrival.
