My Trip to Kudlu Falls n Agumbe



It was really becoming very boring to stay at home during these study breaks. So I went for a tour to Kudlu falls 60Kms. from Manipal. I went along with seniors of 3rd year of our college that comprised 6 guys and 2 gals. But it was not as simple as it seems to be. Actually initially no one planned to go for the Kudlu Falls, initially it was planned that we would go to Someswer forest for a trekking and after walking for 2 hours it was expected that we would meet with a fall named as Abbe falls, it went entirely unexpected. With full enthusiasm all of the group members took bus for the forest which is near Agumbe ghats. We reached there and after taking coconut water and other essential things we went for the forest but almost after 30 minute some of the group members got frightened as the path to the fall was not known to anyone and it was very scary full of dry leaves and hardly any footmarks, it seemed that no one passed from these forest for a long time. And even a lot of paths were witnessed by the group which was really very confusing so finally what happened after almost 30 minutes of our commencement of the journey the group members decided to return back but I really did not want to return back but due to majority vote we returned back finally.


Plan to go to Kudlu Falls
After returning from the forest it was decided that we would go to Kudlu falls and thus for this a Maruti Omni was booked and we moved for the falls that no one earlier had seen. And from here our actual journey started. The path to the falls was really interesting and pleasant to human eyes full of natural beauty. But after reaching to our final designation we had to walk almost 2 Kms that too in altitude, 2 Kms in a mountain and we did but we were just going high and high but the final designation was not coming and we were losing hope if it would actually come or not but after a long period of struggle it finally came and then we really enjoyed a lot.

The Beauty of the fall
The fall was really very attractive the water of the fall was coming from the middle of two huge high mountains; it was my first time that I witnessed a fall. The water inside was very very cold but our whole toil that put for climbing the forest was recharged and there we really enjoyed to the maximum. After taking bath there and enjoying in the water we left the place and our other destination was Agumbe falls.

Sun Set Point Agumbe:
After moving out of the falls we went for Sun Set Point agumbe and that was I think the best place I have seen in my entire life. It was at a very high altitude; from there I could see the clouds below the mountains that usually look above the mountains in the sky. We were feeling as we were in the sky and the earth is below and there we took a lot of pics and enjoyed so many delicacies there. So this was all for our trip to these places.
