Places to travel: Post covid-19


With the Chinese virus COVID-19 increasing at an exponential pace. It is safe for us to stay at home and take care of ourselves just so that we can live up to another day to enjoy our rides. This pandemic will pass too.

Well, this is not about what to do during quarantine but post quarantine. Once this is done and safe for everyone to step out of home you can visit these places for a refreshing start to normalcy.

Before you set off for this journey get your cars serviced from the authorized service center to avoid possibilities of any breakdown. Now let's zoom.

For those who love to go to waterfalls here is a small list of my own (Bangalore specific).

1) Hogenakkal falls

 Located 140Kms from Bangalore (Tamil Nadu- Karnataka border)
Also known as the Niagara falls of India this place is breathtakingly beautiful.
To visit this blissful place one needs a boat ride right from the parking lot.


2) Chunchanakatte Falls

Located 220Kms away from Bangalore. The waterfall comes on the way to Mysore via NH75.


3) Iruppu falls 

Located 260kms from Bangalore. This fall originates from Brahamma giri range. Known for its power to cleanse a person's sins. 


4) Manchanabele dam

Although this is not a waterfall but this place is really calm and silent. 
Located just 55Kms from Bangalore. 
Yes you can go camping here and enjoy some activities. 


5) Gaganachukki Barachukki fall

Located 130kms from Bangalore (near Mandya). 
The eastern front of the waterfalls is Gaganachukki and the western lead is Barachukki. Together Gaganachukki and Barachukki come to be called as Shivasamudra. Asia's 1st hydro-project plant is located here. 


For those who are hill's lover. 

1) Makalidurga 

Located 62kms on the outskirts of Bangalore. This place is all about trekking. Follow a railway track. run through bushes and tall grasses. Located at the bottom of the hills is a pond where you can later refresh. Well that's like an icing on top of cake. 


2) Biligiriranga hills

Located 200kms from Bangalore. This fantastic place passes through a wildlife sanctuary Be careful of the leopards. 



3) Sakleshpur

Have a 4x4? Thinking where you test your off-road capabilities? Sakleshpur is the answer. Located 222kms away from Bangalore. This lushy green area is fun for off-roaders. #mustvisit



4) Kolli Hills

Want the road to be enjoyable and engaging while going to the destination? This is that one spot with 72steep hairpin bends. Once this engaging drive ends you get to reach a peaceful hill station.

Electric car? Is it the right time?

Image
IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME FOR  ELECTRIC POWER? With gasoline prices shooting high up in sky and availability for it is reducing every time we tank up brings us to a question. Are we ready to buy an electric car? Well if you own a car already which runs on gasoline power then yes. An electric car would be the ideal option for your daily runs around the city while you use the conventional vehicle for all long drives.  Most of the people who think of buying an electric car stumble over the obstacle called range. Yes, the range is an issue for electric cars but be assured it will not kill your daily runs. The current generation electrics have a pretty good range of 200kms+ which is good enough to last you a day.  Worst case? You run out of charge?  Well, the government and many private agencies have set up DC fast charging set up. The technology has grown such that in an hour you can get 80% of your battery juiced up which is more than enough for you to reach home.

Few years ago in the Indian automobile market if anyone wanted a comfortable 7-seater the only name that used to pop up in everyone's mind used to be the king of MPV's Toyota Innova, which later got a generation update the all new Innova Crysta.
