On Kanakapura Main road, 22 kms from the city, you whiz past the Art of living ashram and take a right turn after Kaggalipura Lake. Further 4 kms of bumpy ride, a reminder that the Bangalore Metropolis has not been left far behind, you halt at a breath taking dead end of an entrance that has a moat and bamboo draw bridge.

With the rainbow at one end and daylight at that place, it’s a sight that I will not forget in a hurry.
