Another road side falls!!

 

This waterfall (Baalebare or bale bare) is at the beginning of Hulikal ghat. As you start going down the road from Mastikatte (the last town before the ghat), you will see Chandikamba Temple on your right side. People make a stop here before proceeding further. Continue on the main road, and you will see the falls!!

 

We went during peak monsoon time, and mist had enveloped the entire ghat area!! We could identify the falls only by sound. We had to wait some time for the fog to clear!! The silky white falls was a treat to watch.

 

While returning, we saw few elderly people walking on the main road. They had stopped their vehicle at the Temple and walked down to see the falls. But they were struggling to climb up. A woman in the group was gasping. We decided to drop her at the Temple in our car. She said that they did not anticipate the climb while returning. Anyway, she was in better form when we dropped near the Temple.
