Manchanbele Revisited



Went to Manchanbele Dam/Reservoir today. Later realized Big Banyan tree is also on the way and explored that too. I have been to these places before during IISc Populaire Savandurga 100. But at that time everything was in hurry as we have to complete the trip within specific deadline.

Today's experience : Both are great places. I loved the Big Banyan Tree, some people like trees, some like Animals, I am a tree guy so that was obvious. It was perfectly cool (natural AC) under the tree, I even took a nap after having my Lunch, that was great :-) But it wasn't easy, there are many monkeys around, they snatch stuff, particularly if they have weak opponent. They were planning to target my backpack when I was in sleep, but I woke up once I hear their movement nearby.

Ride Report - around 100km, approx 8 hrs. Started aroung 6:45 AM came back around 3.00 pm. I have some really nice videos but don't have patience to upload them on youtube and put the link :-) will do that some other time.

Manchanbele Dam, I met some other bikers there
