And my quest of chasing the rainbow continues.... :)

We were trekking deep in the Chamba Valley of Himachal and the campsite never seemed to arrive. It was almost 5 in the evening, we were walking on slippery slopes, while it rained. And then, just as we arrived at the campsite, a sliver of sunshine and a colorful rainbow welcomed us, the joys of trekking!

You see the thing with waterfalls is you won’t be fully delighted until you get up close and personal with it! Awesome feeling it is, experiencing the full force of the thundering cascades, the feeling of being completely dwarfed by the towering cascades, the feeling of being justly rewarded after hours of walk in the dirt and leech infested trails at the first sight of the white cascades! Waterfalls.. it’s all about waterfalls!

Monsoons are an inviting time for the true nature lover to get out of the comfort of their cozy homes and step into the muck for spectacular scenery that comes alive this season!

I went on four monsoon trips till now and have come up with the monsoon magic series of which you have already read about my Kumara Parvatha experience. Today let’s take a journey to the Malnad and Chikmagalur regions of Karnataka.
