Sakleshpur Trek #5
The mega bridge. We came across this huge bridge about 2/3rds of
the way. High above a river, this bridge was the better part of 400
metres long. Nestled between two mighty long tunnels, we chose this
bridge to take a long-ish break. The view was magnificient all
around, and the only sound was that of the stream flowing a good 50
metres below us. The lens-men went hyper, while the others just
chose to relax, and drink in the view.
This was the river gushing under the mega bridge.
“To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls,
Over stones on its way”. The river way down below us meanders
away between the hills and vales.
This rickety looking foot bridge spanned the river next to the big
brother. Sid (motto: I'm the real strong, silent type... Yeah!) and
I trekked down a steep path down to the bridge to try and get a
couple of snaps from that angle. The things one does to get the
right angle.
The bridge ended just as another tunnel started. This is the tunnel
ahead.
