I had heard about Agumbe ghats from the time i was a child but i always 'thought' that there isn't anything great about that place.....
Don't know why i always felt that its just another place to drop by and there can't be anything interesting......
Many times i felt it would be something similar to Charmadi ghats which i used to pass by every month as i was studying somewhere near that area........
But all these thoughts were indeed proved wrong when i was travelling this time from Udupi to Shimoga.....
I still have its picture in mind so clearly that i can hardly get it out of mind for a few days.......
Wherever i could spread my eyes i could see only trees and trees and trees and nothing but trees......
Only on reaching at the 9th curve i could see the roads below and few buildings and that was possible because we had reached the highest point there!!!!!!!!(God knows how many feets above the ground:0)
I had again 'thought' that 9th curve was the higher most place but nooooooo there was still more to come.....
We totally passed 13 curves but ofcourse nothing was as beautiful and stunning as it looked from the 9th curve......
After passing all curves i realized that i had to breathe because all that time i was holding my breath without my knowledge......
Though am quite phobic about heights i could manage to look below (that's coz i was in the bus:))
But whatever it is i should admit that it's not a place to be missed out in one's life time.....
I now know why it's been labelled as "the Chirapunji of South India".....
