I have been to this lovely place Chikmagalur in Karnataka recently. I never heard about the place and the trip had been a memorable one for more reasons than one.
Nestled in the Western Ghats and far away from madding crowds, the place turned out to be a real haven of peace and tranquility. Stayed at a place called " Eagle Eye resorts" and the place has a beautiful view of the Ghats...the weather was heavenly..the mists rolling all over the hillocks and painting a beautiful picture which varies with each passing moment..The balcony has a fantastic view of the Ghats with greenery spread all over..and with nothing but the sounds of the crickets for company, it has been the most idyllic holiday i ever had ! posting a few pictures..Ofcourse the music was always there in the background... Thanks to Lakshmi, Drake, Hilde and Marc bhai..they are the inspiration for me.. The famous Halebid and Belur temples are enroute and will post those pictures next time ... A view from the Room, Balcony... the road that leads to no where..inspite of the huge arch..there is no road beyond ! After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Excellent Pics, SF.
In 1977, I was there for about 7 days! Guess doing what? Receiving training in tobacco!!! Venkat I have changed many views in life since my childhood, but not my view of Rafi Saab as the God-sent Gandharva who visited this Earth briefly to spread ultimate ecstasy among genuine music-lovers!

Just beautiful, Venkat. I have never been to Chickmaglur in my life. I think, it is known for coffee plantations. I want to go during my next visit to Bangalore. View from the balcony is fantastic.

Marc bhai...that is true.
Never thought that the place has such a serene atmosphere around it.. After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Trot..trot SF goes..trot trot to town..
But it is a pleasure to lose ourselves amidst the greenery where Cells doesnt ring often..and you dont hear people chattering..not an automobile in sight spewing smoke..no rush to finish the day chores.. the list is endless.. After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
