Either I plan to go to my hometown or I try to explore something new. This time, me and my friend Shashi decided to visit the historic temples of Belur-Halebid, located in Hasan district. We started our journey on a bike, at around 4pm in the evening. It took almost 4hrs to reach Hasan, on a well maintained NH75 highway.
