While travelling towards Udupi via Charmadi Ghat, one of prime attraction/stoppage worthy location is guruvayanakere lake. The narrow road covering the periphery of lake has limited area to park car which would otherwise result in traffic congestion on busy highway. The best portion of lake to park is the area just after exit of town towards Karkala. There may be other parts of lake also where one can conveniently explore the lake which I am not aware. We parked the car at vacant space near town and took few pictures.
The lake entices me every time I cut through it. Today the sky was clear and the green lake provided fantastic tonal contrast to picture the landscape. The Sun was just behind us which means no harsh light. I captured few shots before winding up our quick stop.
My wife captured these while I momentarily stopped car with engine ON. They too came good, in fact better than mine :-)
Being fresh water lake bounded by dense vegetation, the place for sure thriving with avian creatures perhaps even western ghat endemics. Hope to explore the lake thoroughly some day.
The road past the Guruvayanakere town which was under construction is also completed and neatly executed!
Beautiful scenery.
