Once upon a time! No, a few days back only! I travelled to AdiYogi Bangalore, and it was a pleasant experience.

Bangalore Weather Changes.... As we ventured deeper into the heart of nature, the road transformed from the familiar asphalt to rugged paths adorned with rocks and sands while nearby ponds calling us to dive in. The journey started with scorching sun, but soon dark clouds began to gather, and heavy rain started, and still, we are en route to AdiYogi. This is how Bangalore weather changes! :)

...70km Journey started around 2 PM with 2 friends via Outstation Cab Booking as the Statue is located deep inside a hilly area, and there is no proper public transport facility. We started our journey in the scorching sun, and as we moved to a bridge, heavy rain started, and while descending from the bridge, we saw the sunrise. :) This much variation in weather overshadows other problems of Bangalore easily.

After 70 to 80 minutes of travel, we crossed the corporate bubble and entered the National Highway, surrounded by greenery and small plateaus, giving a perfect scenic view to the passengers. Soon we realized that Nandi Hills, Skandgiri, AdiYogi, and others are on the same route, and we visited them on different trip plans :).

As we got closer to the AdiYogi route, we had to leave the highway and move to an age-old road constructed with sand and rock pieces only. It's very difficult for bikers. While the only road was taking sharp turns, it was also taking us upward to hills without any proper barrier to the side gaurge, which was quite thrilling.

Human interventions...

It was quite a scenic view to see a little pond surrounded by plateaus, plants, and talking to dark clouds to meet again. Soon we met through human interventions with nature. This area has many plateaus which contain a good amount of granite, so there were multiple hammering works going on to extract the granite and being loaded onto trucks.

After these sharp turns, we get to see AdiYogi from far, standing firm in between the hills and clouds hitting them. We finally reached near the statue, took courtesy photos, and captured the moving clouds.

We had just started looking here and there and saw rain coming from another range to us, and soon near us as well. White clouds turned into complete dark, and it started raining heavily. Everyone had to take shelter in the food court area. Seems like wherever I go, rain comes behind me :).

While standing in the food court, we observed the visibility transition: from a clear view to zero visibility. Later, we moved to the main gate and were able to relate our religious belief of how the Ganga River would have originated from Lord Shiva's Jata to incessant raindrops slipping through this great statue.

Points To Note..

1) It's a hilly area, so services are very limited.

2) It has enormous space.

3) Basic services are available properly.

4) No proper parking as of now, so traffic issues are there.

5) Do try softy ice cream :).

Okie, bye!
