Hebbe Falls

By 9.30 we had our breakfast and then set out for Hebbe falls in 3 jeeps. The Rs 700 deal with each jeep looked astronomical for a 10Km journey. But the road, which exists only for a few Kms, was horrible. At some parts, the roads completely vanished and we were riding on the rocks – literally. The journey was bone-crushing. En route, we had an Antakshari session, which, surprisingly was the first time of the trip.














Even after alighting the jeeps, we had to travel a couple of Kms. We had to pass through 3 streams too. I feared we were in for a tough time ahead with the older lot taking us to task.
But once we could see the water-fall, all anxiousness and fear crept away. The view was just breath taking. The water came falling down in two steps. The spray from the falls was so chilling that we became a bit hesitant in getting wet. Once in the water, still reeling under severe cold, we barely managed to get ourselves completely wet. Although it was 12 noon, we were shivering. It was the most exhilarating experience I’ve ever gone through. After the bath, we returned to Kemmangundi and had lunch. By 4, we went to the Raj Bhavan at Kemmangundi. By 4.20, we were on our way back. The Arsikere gang was dropped there at 6.30. By the time we reached Bangalore, it was 11.30.
