Charmadi Ghat view from Mundaje Bridge

Apologies for wrong information. This bridge is constructed near Mundaje across Nethravathi river. Now the blog has correction :-)

I have numerous pending blogs hiding in my disk. That is the reason why you see blizzard of posts from past 2-3 days. Here is yet another post for you!

This post is continuation of my previous blog titled "Concluding day of native visit". The shiradi ghat road as I have been blabbering, is in desperate condition waiting for repairs. Hence we decided to travel via Charmadi ghat since the roads were palatable despite being narrow and curvy. The other advantage was absence of truck traffic due to narrow and steep roads.

The first stop to photograph the nature the day when we were heading back to Bangalore was Matadha kere landscape along Karkala bypass ( I will post the images soon). Later comes the  majestic look of Western Ghats from Naravi town. The next stop I wanted was the lake view at Guruvayanakere. But there was no space for proper parking since the roads were narrow and lack of support space beyond road surface. Hence I had no choice other than to skip. The look was fabulous though.

The third stop was surprisingly the bridge post Ujire town! The pristine western ghats from bridge lookout can lure anyone to stop and enjoy for a while. It was majestic sight to behold the green crested mountains (thanks to extended monsoon) from the bridge walkway with North-East monsoon clouds reflecting over the swamp. Initially I was bit disappointed with presence of clouds which would thwart the azure look of the scene. Even though the shadows were little hazy and unclear, the reflection was enough offset my unhappiness. This is bridge constructed across Nethravathi river. Enjoy the serene pictures from bridge.
