Beautiful post. With my cup of tea I felt as I was visiting this fort. To add to the effects…the weather is so gloomy here in Dubai. Thank you for starting my day in such a beautiful way.
What a gorgeous post Chitra! I LOVED each and every single photograph in this pic & would have been hard put to pinpoint favs if you asked Still my favs are the 1st 3rd, 6th & 7th pics - Beautiful beautiful fort. Thank you so much for sharing this. You must forgive this completly ignorant question, how far from Bangalore?
Nice post. It was really green when I visited the place too. I think the season in which you visit this place will make a lot of difference to how much you can enjoy the place.
We visited the place in October (I think) and it was great.
Must visit - if you are driving that side of the country.
Vineeta, thanks! Glad you like the pics. Sakleshpur is about 5 hrs from B’lore on the way to M’lore. Please follow the link at the start of this post for more details.
Thanks Ganapathy - yeah, for the lovely green surrounds, during and after the monsoons will be very nice.

Thanks Suman - glad you liked this.
Sathyavageeswaran, it is right on the highway, but you cant see it from the road. However, it is very easy to find, when you ask the localites.
My3, you are very welcome. Good to know your family is from this surrounds. Beautiful!

Thanks for this, have been there long time ago to see and feel where my ancestry is from.
Looking at this is pure nostalgia for me. If there is a video if possible direct me to that if available anywhere
Thanks again
