Devarakere temple & lake, perched at the suburbs of ISRO Layout. At the suburbs of Bengaluru’s ISRO Layout lies a lake known for it’s picturesque beauty and the Devarakere Temple. A path way around the lake is ideal for morning walks & jogs, along side a small park. The lake is one of my favourite spots to cycle, for a good lakeside solace.

The Hutridurga Trek

Hutridurga's fortification was built by Kempegowda in the 16th century.

Ruined fortifications are still visible on the two hillocks surrounding the village. Historically, Huthridurga Fort was the military bastion of Tipu Sultan against British, which was conquered by the latter in 1791. It is believed to have been a seven tiered fort and is considered one among the nine "Durgas" (fortified hills) around Bengaluru ("Nava Durgas"). It has a small temple dedicated to Shiva known as the Shankareshwara temple, a Nandi idol on the top of the hill and an Anjaneya temple, midway.

Checkout my PoV shots of the trek.

St. Mary’s Basilica, Shivajinagar

An old video from the vault. My initial video attempts trying to capture St. Mary's Basilica Church during St. Mary's Feast 2018

St. Mary's Basilica is located in the Archdiocese of Bangalore in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is among the oldest churches in Bangalore and the first church in the state that has been elevated to the status of a minor basilica. It is famous for festivities held during the St. Mary's Feast in the month of September each year, attracting devotees from the entire region of Bangalore.

RISE & (let your cycle) SHINE!

Sometimes the best decisions are easier done than said. Waking up early, ride-out to where the wheels take you.

And then when you reach, you realise You Just Did It!
