It all started of when me (people call me Nettayan) and Karthik had discussion from 11:00 PM (Tuesday) to 3:00 AM (Wednesday) on “How we were wasting our time just on our job” . We usually spend our week ends exploring nearby hotels for different cuisines apart from
trying out things like badminton, carom and bowling. We do go out occassionally to nearby places in Kerala or Tamil Nadu (either for someones marriage or some planned trips)But this week end had to be different. We had multiple options: The most obvious being traveling to some place far away from Bangalore. We decided that over the next few months we’ll going around different places in South India. Next morning, Gundan (also known as Prakash) coincidently asked us on traveling somewhere for the week end.
Yo! All the places in and around Bengaluru were valuated and finally we decided on “Biking to Mysore”. We were 11 of us and we managed to get around 6 bikes – 3 Unicorns, 2 Passion+ and 1 Apache. We were excited and planned to start around 6 in the morning but as usual none of us woke up before 7.
It was time to wake up the rest of the gang members who were supposed to join us from different location. We all met @ “Diary Circle”. We were all set to start our journey: 11 bikers, 6 bikes and 140 kms (don’t get mistaken by numbers). We decided that we should all be together till we hit the Mysore road. That’s when we got separated at outer ring road just before Deve Gowda petrol pump. One bike (Karthik & Maandi) went on its own way to Mysore road and rest of us took the Kanakapura road. We all met at Bangalore-Mysore corridor junction (NICE road).
Our first destination was “The Big Banyan Tree”.
Some photos sessions and we were back on our ride to Ramnagar, our next destination. Our plan was to have breakfast at kamat on the way to Ramnagar. But to our dismay we learnt that Kamat was approximately 5km after ramnagar. So we had to settle down for a road side restaurant. With expectations as high as kamat 
this was a disappointment. But ramnagar was a contrast. A decent trek and a nice temple atop awaited us. Around 3 kms to the right of main road, we all started doing our bit of Sholay (it’s the sholay shooting spot), started our trekking expedition. Except for weak hearted Maandi & Kodi all of us were on the top of the World. The view was amazing from the top.
By the time we reached down, we were all damn hungry and decided to hit Kamat hotel on the way. That’s our next meeting point. The food was excellent there. Our next destination
was Sangam (Srirangapattanam) – a beautiful spo
t where 3 rivers meet (Kaveri, Godavari, 
Krishna… not sure though) and Gol Gumbaz.
Our next destination was Brindavan garden. The musical fountains were excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It was 8:30 PM by the time we reached hotel.
Next morning, we got on to our bikes. After giving a quick glance to Mysore Palace we started our ride to Chamundi hills. The road was steep and the ride was excellent. There is a Chamundeshwari temple on top. Then after some photo sessions and we got into Planet X, a good sporting center. After a Go-Karting session, we decided to get back to Bangalore. But this time, we started meeting up after 40 Km. When we reached Bangalore, we were all tired but happy that we were successful in completing this trip.
