I visited this morning. It’s absolutely worth visiting as the KRS is at its full capacity as of today. Which part of KRS backwaters are you planning to visit? I visited near Kallahalli and there were absolutely no restrictions. I’m not sure about Mysore side where most folks visit. |

Roads around KR Nagar are fantastic to say the least. We had been 2-3 years. We did go around that region. Mallali/KR Nagar/Venugopal swamy temple. The back waters regions were beautiful to say the least! Last edited by ampere : 15th August 2020 at 20:23. | |

| ![]() Wife and Daughter were getting very bored at home with no outing in the last few months. We went today evening to Gunjur lake near Makalidurga. 70kms one way from our home near BEML Gate to this place. Its possible to take the car near the lake. The opening comes just after the toll plaza after Makalidurga Railway station. Spent some peaceful time there. About 5-10 cars were there with people having enough space to maintain social distancing. There was one car (Omni) with locals boozing and dancing to loud music. But thankfully they left without bothering us and other families that were around. Some pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spotted BHPian paragsachania on the way back to home.

Return journey we took Shivanasamudra-Kanakapura-Harohalli (take right towards Anekal)-Attibelle-Sarjapur. There is road construction happening between Harohalli to Anekal, so better use this route only in day time. -Ravi | |

Had no idea which part we went to. But it was terrific. Went to Chunchunkatte first, but the actual entry to the temple and falls was closed because of the holiday weekend ![]() Spent sometime on the bridge before the entrance watching the river. Reached Venugopalswami Temple at KRS backwaters and again the actual entry to the temple was blocked for cars. Roamed around and found plenty of vantage points to enjoy the backwaters ![]() | |

It is just after crossing the toll, you will see some small eatery shops on your right. you have a bylane there, and enough parking space to park car safely. The shops have stairs going don, and you can make your way from there to the lake. |

| ![]() We are planning for a quick drive tomorrow to Antaragange Cave And Water. I have checked with a friend in Kolar and he said it's fine to visit with family. Please let me know if anyone visited recently. |

| ![]() Thanks for sharing your drives here. It does help in planning short trips during this Covid time when we can't do much! Wanted to share my experiences with the short drives within and outside Bangalore city. Have been going on these trips almost every weekend now whenever there were no lockdowns! Started with city rides, places which I had avoided pre-covid due to traffic! MG Road, Brigade, Vidhana Soudha, Majestic, Koramangala, Electronic City, NICE Road(multiple trips), Outer ring road, Devanahalli Airport road etc. Outside Bangalore started with ~100km(~3hrs) drives and now planning to extend it to ~200kms (<5hrs). Done the below trips Up and down:
Next plans, thanks to posts here by fellow bhpians:
