Beautiful Karnataka - western ghats

Some pics from my recent trip to MalenaDu (western ghat belts in Karnataka)...

View of a hamlet called HosangaDi from the ghats on a misty day in rainy season...

One of those streams in the ghats..

Power transmission lines near Jog.. passing over sprawling acres of paddy fields..


Stepped paddy fields. Stepping prevents soil erosion due to rain. Dont ask me the beauty it adds to the picture.


Lonely tree in the paddy fields..

A railway track that seems to lead to infinity....

jogad gundi.. :)

Some pics from a trip to Jog in mid Aug.

Zoomed into Raja...

zoomed into Rani and Roarer.. Rocket got lost behind the thick mist..

How they all fit together.. To see how they looked a few days before I went, see this...

This was the inspection bungalow on the falls' side.

Linganmakki dam after being drained of some water.. To see the overflowing dam, visit here ... Thanks to GJ for putting this together.

Couldn't resist the temptation of fog greenery and dark brown rocks... warning: objects in this pic are far bigger than they appear to be.. :)

Happiness...
