Road trip to Markandeya Dam during unlocking phase.
It’s been a while since we have gone out of our house due
corona pandemic and the restriction imposed by our government for the benefit
of our society. Now that government has ease the restriction, we planned for a
road trip to Markandeya dam. It is situated in Thoralakki which is around 50 km
from Bangalore.
On 23- August 29, 2020 all 5 of us meet in one of my
friend’s house situated in KR Puram. Everyone reached there by 11:00am. It was
a joyous moment for all of us since we met after 6 months of quarantine.
We packed the stuff that was necessary for the trip or the
picnic and hit the KR Puram highway at 11:30am.
This was a car trip and we had lots of fun inside listening
to music and cursing the side effect of corona pandemic. After 2 hour of long
driving we finally reached the destination.
We had to take a right turn on the highway to reach our
destination. Google maps works best till the time we are almost near the place.
It will show a very steep and uneven road to the destination at the end.
We asked localities there and they lead us to a proper road. So, to go on that road please go straight ahead and after a time you will get an intersection, go towards the right and will enter a govt. managed property. Drive till the end of the road and park your vehicle. The roads do get little narrow but don’t worry the parking spot is wide open. Climb the few steps to reach the dam and the mountain top to enjoy you view.
We parked the car and looked out of nice spot to sit and
start our friendly picnic/party.
The place was quite clean and less crowded and full of greenery, water and mountain and luckily no monkey to steal any stuff from us. It was also a nice place to click pictures for your profile.
After half an hour of exploration and photoshoot we finally found
a spot for our picnic which was below the slant rock. This place reminded us of
Simba movie where the Rafiki shows samba to the kingdom. We placed mat below
the slant rock and had our lunch with the soft music smoothing our ears and the
view of nature mesmerizing our ears. We spend our entire afternoon there
discussing our future and cribbing about our present.
As the sun was about to set, we packed our stuffs and were
ready to leave the place. Around 5 we hit the road and by 7 we reached KR Puram
and head to our individual homes.
