A long weekend was approaching and so my family decided we go for a less tiring weekend getaway near Bangalore.
After some search, we zeroed in on a place called Tonnur kere, which is located to close to Mandya. Its a 130km drive from Bangalore. The roads are are in ok condition after Mandya. Its a place just to sit on a bench and relax, have a look at the blue waters , chat with friends and family and enjoy.
There isnt much of crowd as of now. The place has nothing but a very good lake. We travelled in the month of May[summer time] and the water was full. Its a good view. There is nothing to eat around. We carried our lunch , and had a great picnic. There are also some old temples in Tonnur, which we visited.
On the way back we came via Melkote. This place too has some temples to visit. There was a temple up the hill which we couldnt climb, so missed it. On the way back we made a quick visit to Jananpada loka, which was worth a visit!! We were back to Bangalore by 7pm.
On the whole it was a great trip for one time.
Some pictures below:
We were also blessed with a very cool weather that day ;) have fun.
