It was Sunday afternoon when my friend and I decided to go for a quick ride, and finally decided to head towards Sangama near Mekedatu which is almost 100KM from bangalore. It was completely unplanned and we just wanted to hit the roads and be back by night. Started at 3PM from bangalore had a quick lunch and hit the road. We were almost reaching kanakapura nice road junction and it started to drizzle. We pulled over for few more kilometers and near Art of living it started raining heavily. Had to stop near a bakery and had hot hot tea. It was still drizzling and we decided not to wait any more and just started.
Continued our journey and after 10 more km we see that the road was completely dry, it was just a passing clouds and we moved on. After 60km we reached kanakapura and passed by Kanakapura rural college. After approx 1km from rural college near a small circle we had to take left to hit Sangama road. Almost 35 km from kanakapura to Sangama. We were almost reaching Sangama forest office where it was almost 5 and the forest officials warned us to return quickly as it will be closed for public very soon. We informed them it was just a ride and no intention of getting into water and quickly moved in. there is a small ghat before we reach Sanagama which is pretty okay to enjoy the ride if you love twists and turns. And finally we reached the destination. Took some rest click few pics and moved back to bangalore.
While returning we had a stop to have some snacks near harohalli almost 55 KM from sangama, it was the worst masala puri which I ever had, it was watery not that spicy and the taste was pathetic. After having the snacks we again hit the road and reached bangalore by 8.30 PM in the night.
Places = Bangalore - Harohalli - Kanakapura - Sangama - Kanakapura - Harohalli - Bangalore
Total Distance = 200 KM round trip
