Trip to Thousand Pillar Temple - Soans Nursery - Hanuman Gundi - Manipal - Malpe Beach from 31/08/2011 to 01/09/2011

Leave hostel life for a 2D1N trip.
At first, we planned to go for Hanuman Gundi waterfall and Manipal only.
Leave hostel at 5.30am but Hanuman Gundi waterfall opens to public at 10am.
To spend time, we went to Thousand Pillar temple, Moodabidri which was on the way to the waterfall.

Soans Nursery was our next destination.
It is famous for it's pineapple plantation and bamboos (they have the Great Burma Bamboo!). Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to take a walk in plantation to experience the nature because have to follow the schedule to Hanuman Gundi waterfall. Will definitely go there again :D

Have to walk down from the entrance to reach the waterfall.
Nice view, water is crystal clear and icy COLD!
Had picnic there with monkeys staring at us waiting to snatch our food.
luckily the cab driver was with us.
So, after spending almost 1hour, we leave there and head to Manipal.

Stayed in Deluxe room for 1471rps per night for 2 person at Ashlesh Hotel, Manipal.
It's comfortable and spacious.
