15Aug07: It was the 60th Anniversary of freedom of India and we few guys planned to celebrate in somewhere outside not at home sitting just in front of our TV sets. 14Aug we planned to visit GAGANCHUKKI FALLS and in no time we were 15 people who all were ready to go. It is almost 90 KMS from Mysore.
15th Aug at 10:30AM we all met at Mysore Race Course. Wow, it’s was an exciting moment as we all were on bikes and 8 bikes were there. For me it was first chance in was going with this big bike gang. As I named this MISSION, it’s very true as the way we choose to go was really horrible not even 2 / 3 KMS patch was a proper road. As we came out of the city clutch wire of Subbu’s bike got broke but luckily after 1 KM there was a mechanic and we got it fixed and again one more hurdle was waiting for us. On the way there was an accident of a lorry and way was closed and then the way that we took was so good that I am still feeling pain in my back and have the feeling that my bike is jumping while I drive. But out team spirit and beauty of falls was dragging us toward our destination of the day.
We had to drive for 3 hrs and around 1:30 PM we were there at the falls। Most of us were tired of driving that beautiful way and on top of this he day was a little hot and sunny, but it took only few seconds to that tiredness disappeared when we say the falls. It was as beautiful as we say it in few pics and we were expecting it to be. We were there at the top of the falls for a while and enjoyed its view from top and front. But we could not resist or selves for long to go down and enjoy the water from a closer distance. In other 10 minutes we all were at the down of the falls. The view here was really awesome. Though the flow of water was very high but still few point were there where people were enjoying water and having fun inside the water.
While leaving for the falls from Mysore none of us was in a mood to go inside the water and more over we were not sure that we would get a chance of it as well. But when we reached there and saw people, we could not stop our desire to have fun in water there and we all went in to the water fully dressed as we were not carrying any shorts, any other dress or anything to have pleasure of water. We had fun in water for long and when we came out of water, we realized we were there in water for almost 2 hrs.
Then we had some snacks we carried with us as we knew we would not get god stuff there to eat। Now our watches were showing almost 5:10 PM and we headed back for Mysore but no one was ready to 5take same way we came so we took another way which was a bit longer। This time we were on a right way as road was good and we came back to Mysore by 7:15 PM.
Really it was a nice trip we suddenly planned and had great fun there। I would suggest that one should go there at least once for sure.
