Thanks Abhi, Even I was also shocked when I saw the that pillar. Amazing it is.

How is your son?

Thanks Samish. Son is doing great. He was very happy to see this place. That too this was my first out of state travel after that near fatal accident

Dear Shishir,
I went there about three weeks back-but you have captured the essence of Lepakshi in its different hues-great job. I am glad the trauma of the accident is just a fading memory and i see that there are miles for you to go. Happy driving.
Regards,
Col Jude Mayne

Thanks sir. Will give dude. I don't know if it is skandagiri or not, but took that when I was driving on that NH7

Thanks a lot Suhas. If you are doing it on a bike then start early as the heat will also be less and it will be a clean sweep on NH7.

Thanks Bro. Stork is amazing, but someone has damaged the kid stork coming out of the egg.

Me too thinking of doing it on a bike on one of the weekends. Leaving early morning is the best. Are there any decent places to eat enroute or near Lepakshi?

chethan.ram · 23rd September 2010, 05:35

The pictures are very nice and the roads are very inviting. I have been planning to visit this place for quite some time. Will do it soon.

Abhi, Enroute to Lepakshi, after chikkaballapur you have Kamat hotel. But the cost is more and too much rush at every time.

Thanks Shishir. That helps. One quick question, after Manyata, do you go on the flyover or below it and take a right. Am asking cos when going to Ghati Subramanya, i took the road below the flyover and took a right following the route which goes towards devanahalli. Is it the same route or a different one?

It is the same route. Below the flyover and take a right and then keep on till you reach Toll Gate.

Thanks KRRaj. Thought so but was a bit confused and hence the clarification.
