Drive to Pearl Valley near Bangalore


May, 2007: We went on a drive to pearl valley known as 'Muthyalamaduvu' to the locals. Water droplets supposedly fall like pearls... hence the name.

The place is approximately 50 kms from Bangalore. Most of the road is good. Route taken: Bangalore to hosur highway. It usually takes an hour.

Alas, we got our timing wrong. We went in summer and hence there is not much water. But could trek upto the waterfall.
There are small temples near the waterfall. It would have been lovely with more water. DId you notice the small trickle of water in the photo? (ya.. go on.. strain your eyes). It is a nice picnic spot though. One can trek and laze around for the whole day and come back in the evening to city. There are hills all around and absolute peace.

There's a KSTDC restaurant as well up there for lunch. So are local hawkers. A weekend getaway from the buzz of the city.
