Hello everyone,

It's a pleasure to participate in any contest on Steemit and especially for BOI. As this week we have Plan a Road Trip Under 50USD contest. I'm so happy to shares my experience.

I love traveling a lot and exploring nature and green environments. I have Planed my trip and successfully executed it. I'm going to share my whole trip.

So on the 28th in the evening, I decided to go on a Sakleshpur road trip by bike with my two other friends Sumit and Anuvabh. I was checking the 225km radius from Bangalore after so much research I decided to go to Sakleshpur.
Because its total distance from Karnataka Bangalore is 227km. That's best for my plan so that we can come back home end of the day.

Sakleshpur

Sakleshpur is well known for hill stations and waterfalls and full adventure. And I love this adventure and trekking. To visit Sakleshpur and see the morning view is such beautiful fogs the right time to rich there before sunrise around 6:00-to-7:00 am.

So I just make a plan to visit all the places in Sakleshpur. There are more than 25 places that we can explore and it's not possible to cover all the places. We need a minimum of 2-3 days to visit all the places.

Here is the visiting list.

1. Magajahalli Falls

The most famous tourist place to visit is Sakleshpur Magajahalli Falls with friends and family. It's natural waterfalls and water is so cold in rainy season This place is known for Abbi falls.

So after all this wonderful place list, we left our room on 29th august 2021 at 12:45 Am midnight as I was told you we have to reach Sakleshpur before sunrise. When we star the trip it was drizzling. Then went to fillup petrol. So I just bought for 500INR($6.8) currency price of Bangalore is 105/ liter I would not be surprised if they ask PAN number before taking petrol it's too expensive. After that just took a selfie then started the trip.

I was wishing to stop the rain but it did not stop even for a few minutes and we were fully prepared with outdrive getup with a waterproof jack with a safety helmet. The best thing was it's a very nice and clean highway NH75. After a few hours temperature gets decreases to around 12 degrees.

So we reached Addihalli at 5'O clock in the morning. It was so cold then we stop there and take tea. rest for few minutes and then headed towards Sakleshpur.

So we reached 1st destination Manjarabad Fort weather was so cold and fog to I capture some beautiful moments. It's was drizzling. But unfortunately, the Fort was closed due to some covid situation.

I was so excited to see this place and started driving. we traveled some 25km, the rain also stared heavily. I was shivering because I was driving last 8 hours in rain. Then we decided there is no point to go there because the weather was not our favorite. I just clicked some pictures there and turn towards Hassan which is almost 70km from here.

So finally we reached Hassan temple and stay there and took a tour of the whole temple. My mobile was almost drained but I kept Power bank so I just charge my mobile and there was a good park in Hassan so we went there, it's was a huge crowd. We spent some there, Now it's 12:15 pm, thought return to home.
