After sorting the list, we decided to visit three new places which were unheard all these years -  The Big banyan tree, Turahalli forest and Omkar hills . We started our journey at 1:30PM from Domlur, Bangalore.

As I expected, his response was very quick "Sure, we can plan something...". This is how the trip to Shivagange was initiated and we decided to go on the very next day. We started our journey early in the morning at 4:40 AM from Domlur, Bangalore. With couple of tea breaks on the way, we reached our destination at 6:20AM. On the way to Shivagange  Shivagange hill Shivagange is a hillock and Hindu pilgrimage center loc...
