Long time since an update. I ve been quite busy with work, and even busier enjoying the Indian countryside.
Two weekends ago, a few of us decided to go back to Ooty, this time on our motorcycles.
It was a lot more fun the second time around: we were able to take in the beautiful scenery on the way up to the tallest peak in southern India. It was a great drive up, which included 36 hairpin turns to get to the top! After spending the night there, we decided to take a few detours on our way back.
It was time to put our rental bikes through a bit of rough terrain as we rode through farm land. We then reached a large rocky hill for us to climb, where the view from the top was unbelievable.
Ben, Bryce, and I decided to take a road trip to Somnathpur, where the Keshava Temple stands about 33km east of Mysore.
The temple was built in 1268, and the architecture was unbelievable. We were not supposed to take pictures inside the temple, but we snuck a few in. We then took off to Sivasamudram, about 60km southeast of Mysore, near a couple of large waterfalls.
The view was amazing!
Check out pictures from the trip !
