Do they allow visitors inside the monastery? I mean, won't too many visitors kill the tranquility of the place? I want to visit the place, too! |
- Yes @pjay_in, visitors are allowed inside throughout the day. But when the prayer / meditation sessions are going on, visitors are not allowed to walk till the idols / wander among the students. Quote:

Isn't that a "Chinese restaurant" in the heart of Madikeri? Forgot the name. |
- Thanks @BomBatt. It is a restaurant called 'Amantran' or something like that... close to the fort area. Quote:

- Thanks @snaronikar. About the pics from the moving car... I did not open the door, just put the camera on multishot & 2 sec timer mode and held it outside through the window. [I did make sure to see that there wasn't any vehicle behind me trying to overtake.] Quote:

- Yes, the temple looks like it was done up recently. Did not know about the 'Padi Iguthappa' temple, probably will visit next time I drive through the area... Quote:

- One more 'to-do' for a next visit to Byalakuppe, i.e. to try the local cuisine. And I agree with you on the 'Coorg is best during rains' comment... Quote:
