| Sringeri - Sun Rise view amid mist |
Introduction : Our starting point was shimoga. So, if you are travelling from bangalore, consider extra 7 hours. We started from Shimoga on sunday evening around 5 PM. Reached sringeri around 8 PM. I was driving slow so that my parents are comfortable. Took the Theerthahalli road but the road was very bad. Had a pit stop at theertha halli for 30 mins and then left to sringeri.
Tip : Take the BRP dam road from shimoga. It is THE BEST road.
On the same night, we visited temple. There was a "darbar" inside the temple due to navarathri. We were able to see Guruji Sri Bharati Tirtha. It was nice to visit temple during this time.
Tip : If you have plan for dinner at Sringeri temple, better go before 8:30PM
Next day morning 7:30AM, we visited the temple again. Finished breakfast outside and little bit of shopping (Jackfruit papad, mixed pickle, Kashaya powder, Banana chips and so on). The route from Sringeri to Horanadu is quite bad. I have added few pics below. But once you reach horanadu you will just love it. Its a scenic view. We visited temple, had lunch and left to shimoga. It was a special trip as we visited during navarathri.
