Hello friends,

I had fantastic drive from Bangalore to my native place Kumta . It was not intended to be a photography tour but I knew I will always find some opportunity to shoot. I expected some rain but it did not rain. So my whole trip ended up in a after-monsoon drive.  I started on August 15th  and returned back on 20th to Bangalore covering 1300 kilometers  crossing these beautiful cities that lie in western ghats and coastal areas of Karnataka.

Also I met some incredible people  well known cartoonist Satish Acharya, well known Mangalore photographer  Yajna Acharya,  Yakshagana grantha Dr G L Hegde and my other regular friends Gopi ,Girish, Yatish, Sudheer, Manjunath .

These are the visuals I have seen through out he drive. Do let me know what you think of our beautiful Karnataka.
