A year back, I and my friends had been to Makedatau and sangam river trip. That was one of the memorable trips as off now and nice place to visit for one day trip. The River and their flows between the mountains is classic. The clock ticked 5 AM. Prem was busy scripting Tamil poem for his friend. A call from sai, that they reached Marathahalli and waiting near multiplex. The day before the trip we borrowed Pulsar 150cc from palani for the trip as my bullet is not in good condition for long ride and no papers first for all. I, sai, prem and some more friends met near Innovative multiplex Marathahalli. Had a cup of tea and started the trip with a team snap. Weather was good and rode the bike faster to avoid the traffic.
We hit the Kanakapura road and the ride was smooth. Few lakes with Lotus plants were beautiful. After one hour of stretch drive, we gathered together in a local hotel to have breakfast. Food taste was great; all are in out of control... Bike ride shifted to me, Prem started clicking the snaps of the beautiful mountains and lakes on the way... In kanakapura, the road towards the second left was the way to the destination. The road condition was not that good, Average speed touched 50 kmph... Prem took the control of the bike after sometime by saying; he is not able to think of good lines for poems by sitting on the pillion seat... In doubt, I handed over the bike to him. Ride was smooth for 10 minutes, I removed my over coat as the weather was turning hot. All of the sudden, in S bend curve a path hole appeared. In Out of control we are throwed away from the bike after the front tire in contact with the hole.. We both are dragged away for some distance, in one hand my camera to avoid hitting in the road and the other hand prem shirt collar, holded tightly so that we are not dragged away further due to the weight of the body. No major injury for both of us, Scratch in the hand and a deep cut in my right leg elbow.
A snap to check, is the camera functioning well. Village people gathered in no time and a lady handed us water. Village people are well kind than city people... Sai and Friends coming by car stopped and took us to the hospital near by. We treated with first aid in Snehasharma health centre in doddalhalli. Sister said no need to worry. It’s just an outer wound. We don’t want to cancel the trip, reason being the injury... All back to normal, this time guna took over the damaged bike and we are in the car.. Time passed, Raja music soothed us for sometime. After a drive in the hill slope (Drive carefully. Road is too bad) we reached the destination, sangam river. Water level was bit high so we are not allowed to walk through the river to reach the other side.
Coracle drivers were waiting for us Parked the vehicle, Freshed up and boarded the coracle. The view was awesome; I can say it’s the best view of Cauvery I ever seen... We reached the other end, a bus waiting for the forest ride which reaches to the mekedaatu another beautiful place.
The ride started, we took over the place at the top of the bus.Not only us, most of the people came for the trip only few inside the bus. Jerk ride in the forest was good with the wounded leg and hand.Mekedaatu is a shinning rocky area, a slip in the rock will pull you inside the speedy river.Spent some time, trekked to an area where the waste can be tasted. Clicked some snaps, tasted the water and waited for the bus for the return journey. Same style,jerk and coracle ride. Fish roast, Egg for the lunch on the road side shops.
We checked with the local people is there any other place near by to visit.Chunchi falls on the way to the right side of the road. Bushes all over the way to the falls. A nap on the near by rocks of the falls was awesome. Gentle breeze…

Returned back and I took over the bike to check my stamina. I rode for a while and Hansraj took over the ride, another pulsar guy. Back to raja music,reached Bangalore and ready for the hospital care.
