Yargol Dam

Hello Travelers,

I am back with a new travel experience. Its Saturday and as usual its time to explore some new place. So after having my lunch I started my bike.

I visited a dam called Yargol Dam in Kamasamudram in Kolar district of Karnataka. It is approx 80 Kms from Bangalore and took me 2.5 Hours. It is still under construction and I saw most of the construction work is completed. I guess the inauguration will happen soon.

It is a beautiful dam and at the moment there is no need of any permission to visit it although it is mentioned as "entry restricted" at the entrance. This is not a picnic spot so it is purely for exploration. One can spend around an hour max as there is not much to see except to take some photos.

I reached the dam via Sarjapur route. The route is scenic especially the last 30-40 Kms where you can enjoy the ride/drive and see Farms, Hills and Forest area through the Journey. Beware of Ghat road and Hair pin bends at some parts. Although the dam is in Karnataka you will pass through Tamil Nadu. Just follow Google maps and you should reach with out any hassle.

Try carrying a DSLR as I saw peafowl and few other beautiful birds on the way.

Bidanagere Hanuman Temple

Hello Travellers,

After visiting Kaidala, I proceeded towards Bidanagere near Kunigal town to see one of the tallest statues of Lord Hanuman in Panchamukhi Avatar. It is approx 85 Kms from Bangalore and 40 Kms from Kaidala.

The height of the statue is 161 feet. The temple was not crowded since it was weekday. The location is well marked and houses other gods temples - Shani Mahatma and Nandi along with Panchamukhi Anjaneya.

One can spend an hour or so taking pictures. We have to pay 25 Rs to go to the 1st floor to get closer look of the statue.
