Bylakuppe

So after lunch at a restaurant near Nisargadhama, we headed to Hunsur. On our way we stopped at the Tibetan settlement at Bylakuppe.I had previously visited here in 2006 and explored this settlement over a weekend. (Here) Since then, I have visited here a couple of times and its a different world out there. I never get tired of observing the details in the paintings, beautiful sculptures and intricate design. We spent some time admiring the magnificent architecture. 

On our way back, we stopped at Hunsur. My Brother-in-law hails from this town and we stopped there to visit his family. Next, we drove straight to Ramanagara where we had our dinner at Kamat Yatrinivas and then returned back home by around 10pm. 

This trip around Somwarpet was excellent. I had never explored this part of Coorg before and the trip surprised us every time with a new and different type of attraction that this place hides. From waterfalls to discovering the Dolmens; from elephant camps to river crossing; from driving to the summits to reaching the rivers filled with friendly fishes, this trip was an "all in one" kind of a package.
