The small Sunday trip to Devarabetta

I happened to see the picture of the temple sometime ago and asked my friend (it’s their home temple) if we could go over there, well he did say yes at that time it happened only after a year and half. We both happened to meet one evening for a cup of tea and while talking this old topic of going to this temple came up, so we decided then why not this weekend on a Sunday!!

We called up early in the morning and decided to leave at around 7:30 in the morning and we both met at the Silkboard junction and started our journey on my friend’s bike, we decided to go on the flyover and the weather with cool breeze and a bit cloudy perfect for a bike ride. We stopped at Chandapura had our breakfast and left via Anekal.

We passed through the open fields and farm lands on the way with the beautiful aroma of mother nature from the near by farm lands and the weather was getting colder and hope we could have a bit sunshine to heat us up. We reached the Tamilnadu border at around 10am and reached our destination in an half an hour from there.

The place is around 40kms from Bangalore and the roads are pretty ok, we visited both the temples one at the bottom and one on top of the hill and had some monkey scares near the temple, spent some time on top with a nice picturesque view of the forest behind the hills with some small local kids for our company.

As we didn’t expect the trip to conclude so soon, we then decided to head to Hosur about 30kms from there to have a look at few places, we went to the temple built by the Pandavas on top of the hill. But the temple was closed as it was mid afternoon so we decided that to come back again and explore Hosur fully. We left and dropped at the R.K Garden to full our hungry stomach and headed back home.

We finally reached home in the evening and so ended our small Sunday trip.
