Day 3 : We had some filling breakfast in the open dining area of the homestay and checked out. Our plan was to cover Mullayanagiri and one of the nearby waterfalls before starting our way back to Bangalore. The most stunning part of Mullayanagiri is to drive uphill. The road gets narrower as the height increases. If one is not a very skilled driver, it is not advisable to drive here. The fog thickens, there are plenty of miniature water falls on the way: It is breathtakingly beautiful. Almost at the top, there is no more way to go by vehicle but there a stone steps to reach the temple at the peak. Our efforts of reaching the peak were thwarted by the car getting locked with the key inside (Resolution for this in the tips section).

The hill stands at an height of 1932 m above the sea level and the view from Mullayangiri is mesmerising. The hazy landscapes are scattered with Serpentine paths and grassy patches. The easy to moderate difficulty level of trek ensures that people with little or even no trekking experience can complete it in a relatively effortless manner .The path becomes extremely slippery and crowded with leeches during the monsoon season, "Par kehnde daar ke aage jeet haii", so nothing matters.The view after reaching pinnacle is worth a capture on camera.Cloud seem to be close to the earth with lush green grass and cool breeze .It was just pardise on earth.

We woke up early the next day and decided to drive down to Mullayanagiri to enjoy the view from the height. Mullayanagiri is the highest peak in Karnataka where a lot of people flock to visit the temple on top of the hill. It was a few kilometers from where we stayed and the road leading to the hills has a checkpost where they charge you a nominal entry fee. However, if you go past this check point with some local, they don't charge you anything. However, we paid this time and drove the beautiful route up to the hills. When we reached, a police training van was also present and all the new trainees were heading to the temple on top as a trip of their own. It was amazing to see the number of lady recruits in the police force. We parked our car and got out and I realized that there were way too many people for us to go up the hill to the temple. I looked around and saw a hill opposite the main hill. I pushed my friends towards and we began climbing the rough rocks to get to the top. It wasn't very steep and soon, we had an amazing view of the fields and trees below.
