I visited Manchanabele/Manchinabele first way back in Nov 2006. With a day to spare today, I thought of visiting the place again. It was all good till few kilometers before the the water reservoir. Then the road repair work made me take diversions. After 2-3 diversions, I was lost! To add to that the car’s wheel got stuck in sand in a narrow lane with no one in the vicinity to ask for any help. It took almost 40 minutes to get back to the track. End result, I missed the road & came back home with dirty cloths & car completely covered with multiple layers of dust.

A wonderful adventure to beat Monday blues, I say! :)

From my visit to the place in Feb 2008.

I paid a short visit to the Hoysala temples of Belur during my long ride to west coast almost two years ago. Couple of hours spent there is no where sufficient to get to know a bit about place. That short visit two years ago pricking me to plan for another trip.

I sit everyday to write down the pending travelogs, stare at the monitor trying to bring out the thoughts into words. Minutes passes by & screen stays blank. Got to get out of this block. Hope to come out of this blockade soon.

Till that time here is a photo from Windsor Castle taken during my visit in last week of September. More images from Windsor - here.
