Next day morning we woke up at 7 am and I started clicking some fresh Flora at Satish house . .

We reached Balgal cross by jeep,after having good breakfast at Sathish's house.Our next plan is to head down towards kudremukh Town and visit Lakya Dam and Hanumana Gundi falls.We got the private bus as soon as we reached Balgal bus stand.Bus took hardly 20 mins to reach Kudremukh town . . .What a wonderful town it is . .! ! !waw . .! amazing place. . really heaven . look at the snaps of Kudremukh Town . .It is so clean that we can't imagine such a town in India . . fabulous place . . 

 

 After visiting KudreMukh town we headed towards hanumanagundi falls aka soothanabbi falls .. .

From kudremukh town falls is around 30 odd kms.En-route you can also visit Kadambi falls and as well as Lakya dam.Lakya dam is around 5 kms from Kudremukh town.We paid 100 buks for an auto rikshaw and rikshawala agreed to drop us till Lakya dam.

After visiting Lakya Dam,we came back to main road which is 1.5kms from the Dam.Then we waited some 15mins for the arrival of the bus towards Hanumana Gundi Falls.But there was no private buses at that time.So decided to ask drop in private vehicles.Fortunately at the same time one truck arrived and the driver agreed to drop us near Hanumana Gundi Falls for the nominal charge of 50rs for 5 members.It was an amazing ride of the lifetime,on top of the truck.

In around 30 mins we reached the Falls entrance and paid him 50 bucks.RFO charges a nominal fee of 20rs for entry to the falls. Sometimes Hanumanagundi Falls is also called as Soothanabbi Falls. Here water falls from a height of 22 meters.We saw full fledged roaring of the falls as we visited in the monsoon season.One has to descent some 100 steep steps in order to enjoy the view of the falls
