Nice snaps Karthik. I realised the best circuit can be :
- Exit 209 at Halagur and take the road to JLR fishing camps.
- Drive to Sangam and come back to Kanakpura via Muthathi/Chunchi.

Chunchi was like the below 5 years back during the monsoons.
(Cross linking 2 snaps from from Mekedatu TL)

It was a very nice drive with Special mention to organizer Mr Karthik and his super Linea; what a stonker of car, and so beautifully maintained.
Also Thanks for a short spin. Buddy

Some pics from my side

@ ampere this year monsoons are so bad that small stream is what we got to see

This was my first team-bhp meet and I should say that I had a wonderful time with fellow bhpians and thanks to Karthik for organizing this drive meet. It was a nice and exhaustive drive which involved all kind of roads 4L, smooth SH, bad roads, very bad roads, mud road, narrow streets etc, I enjoyed it. Had it drizzled/rained during our return it would have been a perfect end with wet conditions.

Looking forward to the next meet.

Envy !

I missed the event cos of an unavoidable commitment.

Great to see the big bunch of BHPians and their rides. I will be there for the next drive.

Small streams while trekking down to chunchi falls

You are dead if you slip here

brraj · 20th August 2012, 16:18

We were planning to trek till the water spot but returned back due to time constraints.

Tree grown on rocks

Trekked down to get this view

Nice meet! Had a blast!! The best part, all the fun with less than a quarter of tank of "Diesel"...

Here is the full set from my side!! had issues reducing the size...

guyfrmblr · 20th August 2012, 20:01

Had a wonderful drive. It was bit tiring due to the bumpy roads near Muttatti but enjoyed driving through narrow village roads. Well organized Karthik.

I realized after reaching Muttatti that I have left my camera at home

. Some pics from my mobile camera.

Stopped for breakfast at Kanakpura. The Fiat Padmini is not part of our group. Even though the hotel was very small, it had 4 CCTV cameras!

On the way to Muttatti.

At Muttatti.

On the way to Chunchi falls. We were wondering where the falls would be in this plain barren land.

Some pics of Chunchi falls. These were taken by my friend Siddanth.

Stopped for lunch.

Post lunch. The Fortuner was part of some Rally event which took a break for Chicken Biriyani.

It was nice meeting fellow BHPians. Looking forward for the next meet.

Had a blast at the meet. I only clicked a few pics. Here goes a few of them enjoy.

The line kept growing

Hotel Vasu. Ummm Dosa but oil on the higher side.

Nice pics, Guys. Missed this mini-meet since had been to Wayanad over the weekend. The Elantra is looking amazing!!

IronH4WK · 21st August 2012, 08:27

i think this is where ssjr0498 had hijacked the convoy to take a picture (in his set); i took the opportunity to capture the three behind me!

the moment people saw they were at the spot (Chunchi falls), everybody broke formation and wanted to reach the parking first!

Ranga's Cruze!

after parking our cars we headed down looking for the fabled falls and finding only a trickle of water, many of us just parked our butts right at the start point and didn't invest in a hike downhill (and then uphill)

here are some pictures from our perspective:

on our way back:

he sees the opportunity:

and he shoots!

lone ranger!
