The weather of Belgaum lately had been quite bad as it was raining heavily. My eyes open up to realize that it was 8:30 in the morning and that I had just missed out on my first class of the day. Then it struck to my mind " don't count your chickens before the eggs have hatched" implying that I shouldn't make plans to attend class because that wouldn't happen and I happened to glance out of my window to just see the amount of downpour happening. But to my surprise the weather outside was bright and a beautiful sunny day, inspiring me for a long ride to a city nearby which I have yet to explore. At 10:15 I get off my bed. The scenario was quite funny when I think about it now, a brush in my mouth, pulling up my pants as if I were late for a meeting, grabbing stuff which I would require for my journey as though the world was about to end. Still in the hangover of my sleep, trying to make sense of what I was doing. Then realized that it was 10:40 already. Grabbed my bike keys and raced out of my room towards my bike. The journey of my day started off at 10:45 AM. Making my way through the morning traffic of the city I reached the road which connected the city of Belgaum to Gokak. As I was on my way, it started to drizzle, which made me go on a slower pace. travelling about 20 kms from Belgaum, at about 11:20, I stop at a beautiful location which was the first scenery of my journey.
As I continued my journey, I had to pass through a series of villages. Observed various fields of plantations. Asking directions for Gokak became quite interesting as I was travelling further as people would smile and tell me the road from which I should travel. To be frank didn't know if they were smiling and telling me or was it something that I had worn which stood out. Moving ahead I stopped at a point where the skies started to clear off. I was real excited to watch clear skies as I hadn't seen them for around 2 months in Belgaum.
Just a few kms away from my destination, The eagerness started to build in me as to what I would find discover in the city of Gokak. As I entered the city areas, I was greeted with the view of the whole city.
The falls was at a distance of 9kms from the city. The roads towards the falls had beautiful curves which felt amazing to ride my bike on.
Alas I reached my destination "The Gokak Falls"
Though it might not be much, but it was a beautiful scene to me as I had the thrill of bunking a class just for my adventure.
I returned from Gokak and reached Belgaum back at 3:30 PM.
These are some of the pictures of my journey back from Gokak to Belgaum.
