A Kodachadri Sunset


The sunsets in Kodachadri are meant to be spectacular and in one spot it is possible to see the sun rise and the sunset.

Tourists can catch the the KSRTC bus that goes towards Kollur via Shimoga and getdown at a place called Karekatte, 20 km short of Kollur.

From Karekatte set out towards Kodachadri, path for the next four to five km was straight out of a jungle portrait.

On the way you will passthru Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shala, a government higher primary school. After a while have breakfast pottu, malyali eatery.

A temple six to seven km away and then to Shankara Peeta, a place where it is said Hindu philosopher Shankaracharya meditated. The last part of the trek will be mostly a walk through the clouds.

After a lunch look for spots around Kodachadri -- Chitramoola Caves, Ganesha Guhe and a dip at one of the smaller waterfalls called Agastya Theertha.
