Note: This
is a series where I post details and tips about some day-trip
locations around Bangalore. You would note that, the date of our visit
to some of these places was quite some time back, so some of the detail
need not be currently valid. However, I think the major part of the
information will still be useful to readers. Do check around by phone or other means about these places to know the latest details and then make your plan. Enjoy your
travel. Have fun.
