Crossing the river Tunga

Posted by Prashanth on Apr 16, 2008 Chikkamagalur, Karnataka, Photo Essay, Summer, Weekend Getaway

River Tunga. We had to cross the river. And we had three options –

1. By bus over the bridge.
2. Using a hanging bridge which was half a kilometer away.
3. By walk through knee deep water

And we chose the last option.

Place: Hariharapura, 15 KMs from Sringeri in Chikkamagalur district.

People were busy washing their clothes, bathing.

He saw me. Stopped his work for a moment. Smiled at me & continued with his chores.

Crossing the river was quite an adventure. Trying not to get our clothes wet & along with carrying the camera. Though it was knee deep, currents were pretty strong.

    nice pictures and to cross the riven in knee deep water will be a real thrill and ofcourse managing your camera that is much tuffer task but u have taken a calculated risk in going with camera and come out successfully
    be care full yar your camera is master piece and you must preserve it safe
