Day Two, we visited the bird sanctuary in Mandagadde. There we only few birds, but it is right on the NH-13. We spotted 3 types of birds. Then we went to Mahishi beach which is clean and there were more pebbles than sand. After that we visited National Poet Kuvempu’s house in Kuppali. The house is converted in to a Museum. Apart from the pictures, articles and other collections the house itself is a masterpiece. We also climbed to the Hillock next to the museum where the Poet use to derive inspiration and was put to rest. It is a Beautiful place. We had tea in the stall outside the museum with Forest Ranger Mr. Jagadish. Then we drove to Sringeri. The parking lot in Sringeri was mess and from outside the place is nothing special. But once you enter inside, the antic temple stands magnificent. The river and the mutt in the background add to the beauty. The temple, verandas and dinner hall are all maintained very clean. After the bliss of serenity from Sringeri we drove to Agumbe. It was extremely cloudy and hence we could not get any view. But the drive to the spot itself was thrilling with visibility only for the next 12 feet or so. We got to definitely make a trip to Agumbe in the right season. We then drove back to Inchara, Mandagadde via Theerthahalli.
