Madikeri - starting point

From Mysuru directly to Madikeri, Croog. According to guider, there's nothing. Hmm... But it's the best starting point for treks around!
Actually I found out, for one afternoon it's really nice city. They're selling spices and coffee everywhere so roaming around market and little shops could fill up couple of minutes and also your backpack...
In the city there are two interesting places, Raja's tomb and Raja's seats. I really don't know anything about the first one. There was quite nice park to take a rest, but otherwise..not much to see..
In the other hand, Raja's seats is amazing place with views across whole valley. And I was there with sunset... Just look at the pictures, they say everything...
Well that's all from the city. As I said in the beginning it's good place to plan your treks. Maybe Indian style of planning. I went to three places and only in last one I got some information. Transcript of our conversation:
Me: I need to Kekabe tomorrow, is there a bus?
Him: private bus stand.
Me: great, some timing?
Him: no
Me: Ok and when do they start?
Him: in the morning.
Me: when?
Him: between 6:30 - 8am
...
So with this information, I had delicious home made breakfast in the morning, I went to the private bus stand at 8:30 and I'm 10 min my bus leaves to Kakabe village... awesome!Read more
