We have been following your blogs regularly and thanks for this, this helps a lot. We are planning to R2I soon and this is already inspiring me to plan a lot of stuff. We travel a lot here and wd like to continue the trend. I heard there were floods and heavy rains in krishna and other rivers, did this place get affected. Also did u get to see JOg falls in this trip?
Poppins, thanks. Yeah vacations can always be on the cards.
I am glad the post made you feel like you were there, Amar.
Thanks Choxbox.
Saradha, I am glad my posts are helping you. Road trips are probably the nicest ways of uncovering any place. We enjoyed being on the road in the US; and we love being on the road here. I also like how road trips help us as parents to open up the kids to other cultures, people, landscape - one of the reasons we stop as much.
Nope, no Jog this time. We were staying at least a couple of hours from there.
Thanks Chitra for writing about homestays. I am going to bookmark your page and if I ever visit any of these places I will tell them they should thank you! I sit here and pore over all these homestays:-). I am sure that my kids 17, 12 will love, just wandering around. Your essays bring to life all the Karnataka towns I used to read about. I grew up in the North and Madras so never really lived in Karnataka. Thanks very much for such a detailed writeup.

Ram, thanks for stopping by. Will definitely read your post.
Do read the para - ‘Things we did in the neighborhood’, to know what we did when we were at Koppa.

Nice narration and photos Chitra. It would be good if you can mention the places that one can visit in and around Koppa.
BTW, here is my short experience with Agumbe last month. If you have plans, never miss it.
