Someshwar Beach -Mangalore

 I have visited Someshwar Beach with my family on few days back. Here the huge stretch of sand is golden in colour and has the most swaying palm trees which dot the entire place. The beach is well known for Rudra Shila which is a large rock and Someshwar beach gets its name from the Someshwar temple. The Someshwar Temple along with some majestic ruins of fort is the main places of attraction here.

 Someshwar beach located 18 km south of Mangalore is a place with an endless sandy stretch pearled with the lining of swaying palm trees. The place is accessible mainly through Someshwara bus stand which is half km from the temple.  A temple, believed to be constructed during the reign of Abbakka Devi, the queen is also another attraction.

After we arrived at Rocky Beach we were blown away, completely enthralled by the sight. This place is a great spot to go to if you are looking for a tranquil place with a lot of scenic beauty. The sight was stupendous and the sight of the blue waters of the Arabian Sea completely mesmerized us. 

 As I watched the tidal waves hit the huge rocks on the sea shore, I was completely taken in by the entire beauty of the place. The beach offers an awesome view of Arabian Sea.

 The Beach walk promises fresh air and magnificent sea views. On this walk you'll discover the beautiful stretch of coastline. What a feeling to dig your little toes into the sand, and have the salty breeze blow through your hair.

Monsoon walks: Joyisaragundi and Danagundi Waterfalls

Parapady Waterfalls

This trip was planed suddenly. Saturday evening I planed to go somewhere with my bike in this monsoon, in the mean time I got the call from friend Sudheer. So finally a small discussion we planed to go Perapady waterfalls.

Parapady Waterfalls

Both we don’t know much about this palace and also maximum we can spend one hour in this place, so our free time we plan to go somewhere near by this. So I contact Ramesh Kamth sir, he suggest to go JoyisaraGundi.

So finally Sunday morning we started with five (Ramesh Kamath,Sudheer,Ashok,Sandesh & me), but we made change in our plan because of heavy rain and it was small group we go with Kamth sir’s car.

We finished our breakfast in middle & reached Pettarkatte bus stop at 9am. After 2 km’s drive we reached Kamblakodu village finally 5 minutes calm walk we reached this beautiful place. Shambhavi River here drops from 10 feet height in beautifully, this is a very wide waterfalls and the fall is in its full glory during monsoon. After spending some time in this place we returned back & moved to our next destiny place.

DanaGundi -1st step

Next one hour journey we reached Mala village and take some required information about place from locally & move to ahead. First we planed to go DanaGundi and PanchaArbi falls which is situated in the lush green forests of Kudremukh National Park.

DanaGundi -Main Stage

After 2 kilometers mud road drive we reached the Hebbar house, this road also end with here. Finally we entered to wild jungle, after 15 minutes walk we reached first step. Here stream would split & falls 2 different positions. This is very beautiful with its virginity.

After 1st step no proper paths to main falls. Even rain season we can’t cross stream also. From morning these reason non-stop rain, but also we love adventure in wild. So we started to going one side of the stream in thick forest.

So finally a tough walk we reached main fall the place where the waterfalls are located is surrounded by lush greenery & the foliage around the spot is attractive. One more step in upstairs of this but because of heavy rain we can’t reach & we canceled to go Pancarbi, we returned back Mala & had lunch in one small village hotel.

Joyisara Gundi Falls

Our next plan is to go JoyisaraGundi. We reached Parashuram temple which 2 km’s away from Mala. After 2 km walk we reached Upstairs of this fall. Because of heavy rain the volume of the water also big, this falls seems like Abbi falls of Coorg. This is the most beautiful fall on the day we see. We walk down few minutes down & reach one more step in down side.
