We started form home at 02:00pm. Our destination was to reach a Harsha the Fern hotel. On our way we stopped at Kamat restaurant at Honavur to take tea/coffee. The restaurant was on the side of highway. The restaurant had a big parking, there was an area for kids for playing. In that park there were three slides and two swings. The restaurant had a roof and pillars. Furniture was made out of wood. I took out sim from old phone and had put it into new one. When we were about to go then I saw that there was a little water behind the car. There were tadpoles and small fishes.
After taking tea/coffee we entered ghat section. The road had many turns. After 60 km Jog falls came on our way, but we didn't see it. Jog falls is one of the highest falls, its height is around 260 m. Finally, we reached the hotel. We first bargained then we took dinner and slept.
The next day my father and I went to Jim for exercise. There I did running on treadmill, cycling on a machine, lifting dumbbells and doing pullups(chin-ups).
Then we went to Halebedu and Belur temple in Hoysala. Those temples had very fine carvings. It took 190 years to construct but still it was incomplete. These types of fine carvings were rare, so this temple was special.
After that we started searching for a hotel to stay. We found hotel Ramma in Hassan. There we took AC room because there wasn’t shower in non-AC room. The room was fine. There was a big window where we could see an open grassy land. Railway track was also nearby.
We had to climb 650 steps to reach the top. On the top there is a statue of Bahubali meditating while standing and his two sisters are standing on both sides. The size of sisters is very small. This statue was made in 1100 ad. There was a speaker which was torn but still it was very loud.
After that we went to Shukavan. There were birds in a very big cage. There were around 200 species of parrots. There were many big parrots there. We even took photos with them. When we tried to touch parrots that time, they bit us. Some children even started crying when the parrot bit them.
Then we saw palace lighting. There were bulbs on the whole palace. The lights were turned on government holidays from 07:30 pm to 08:00 pm, because it consumed a lot of power the bulbs were not led, they were incandescent bulbs so, they consumed a lot of power.
After that we went to Ashwaria residency. The route to basement parking was very steep. The rooms were very small. The images showed the hotel as it was very grand. We had to stay there for two nights.
The next day we went to Mysuru zoo. There we saw many animals like giraffe, tiger, elephants, crocodiles and many more. Kesari had a lot of fun while watching animals.
Next, we went to railway museum. There were old trains in the museum. We could even go inside the trains. There was also a train ride there. Kesari took that ride 5-6 times. My father and I collected some coal pieces from some engines.
After that we went to Sapna book house, then to tonga ride which was driven by horse. Kesari was wating desperately for that.
The next day we went to Mysuru palace. After that we went to gurdwara. There I asked that whether kadas were available or not. They said that the supply hadn’t come. After that we went to Bylakuppe. It was a Tibetan’s colony. There were temples, schools and restaurants run by them.
We took some snacks and coffee at Big Cup Caffee. It even had hotels. The rooms were spacious. After that we went to raja’s seat. It is a view point. There was a l - o - n – g rope line. There were bushes which were trimmed in shape of animals. After that we went to Honavur to stay for a night.
The next day we returned home.
