Trip to Anthargange

We didn't knew that bangalore surrounding has so much hidden treasure in itself.During the college days there are so less spots to visit nearby bangalore city.But once we have started exploring places so many places have turned up from nowhere.

After the kerala's exciting and refreshing trip this was second trip. We all were 8 guys on 4 bikes.We started our journey from old madras road towards kolar. Our destination Antahargange 70 kms from the city. Our first stop was volvo company premises. I was the only one who was aware of the route and most probably abhigyan's bhaiya. As it happens no one stopped at volvo company. All the riders were busy riding on such smooth and traffic free road which they would have never got in banaglore. So it was a complete ride till the outskirts of kolar, a 55 km stretch non-stop. Everyone must have touched a speed of 80-90 km/hr on this road.

You take a left turn on the by pass towards chenna- turapati highway and get into kolar city. We reached kolar around 9.30 in the morning probably half hour late from our expected time. You have to go straight till the main bus stand and take a left turn from pallavi theartre for antahargange. There are two ways to reach the top of the village. One is by road by which u directly reach to the top or park ur vehicles at the base and take the stairs route to reach the top. It definately requiers some guts bcos after some time the way is really bad . You have to climb up the rocks but the best thing about this route is that you fulfill your desire for perfect trek of 4kms.It's a full rocky terrain. You can find some very dark and small caves where you can try out your crawling skills.You should have your own water bottles because you don't get any water on the way till the top.I felt that this place was the most hredest trek i had done till now, full of rocks. You have good places for pit stop in the shadow of the big rock. It's much cooler and you can have a good nap that place.But this is only the starting of the journey.We reached at the top after an two hour gruelling and exausting trek through the rocks.

At the top we found a mosque where we got some "thanda paani".

After this spot it a must that you take help of some localite to find out the caves. We took help a little kid who took to us some of the caves that are present at the top. You need to take some loaclite as you will not be able to find the caves on your own. Going through the caves was experience of it's own kind.Due to the time lag, we decided to return after going through 3 caves.Going through those 3 caves took the toil on us.Going down was the risky business but less time consuming job.

We started our journey back at 3.00 PM and reached back bangalore at 5.00 PM.
