Murudeshwar Beach Karwar

Along the Sea Shore.......

Sprinkle, squish between my toes,
The smell of ocean to my nose.
I can feel each grain of sand,
It falls from air into my hand.
The shells I find along the shore,
Picked up by birds that fly and soar.
They sparkle like the ocean's waves,
And carry sand from all the lakes.
I walk along the tip of the sea,
That’s where my feet leave prints to be.
I walk all the way to the end of the land,
The land that holds this beautiful sand.

.........Sunita Singh

Titanic Song. Celine Dione

 

With Coming of Rains Kudremukh NP Becomes Heaven on Earth.

With the coming of the rains Kudremukh NP becomes the heaven for all of us here. Occupying our heart it sings a melodious songs asking from me. Sweet is the forests, nature looks laughing all the time. Pl ask from me the what song I m singing for you. In your laughter my life. In your image my image reflects here in the sunlight dancing here and there. Near you I find salvation every day in the affection for you.

Kudremukh Water Falls

This waterfall is situated at Kudremukh Peak of the Kudremukh National Park and is as high as almost 874 feet within the depression of the shola valley made out of the granite stone. Water falling from such height seems too beutiful throughout the year. Dangling down climbers and lofty trees inhabits the lion tailed macaques which could be seen in specific pockets in few parts of the day.

Silt Tailing Dump of KIOCL Kudremukh Causing Air Pollution !

I am strolling over the sand tailing dump of the Kudremukh Iron Ore Co Ltd at Lakya Dam on 

Kudremukh Mountain which falls in Chikmaglur Distt of Karnataka. The  company  built  a  100  meter  high  earth - fill  dam  across  the  Lakhya tributary to prevent pollution of the river Bhadra . As part of its   continuing anti-pollution program, the company has undertaken the work of increasing the height of the Lakhya dam to contain tailings from the plant.As part of its  afforestation  program, the company has already planted nearly 7.5 Million trees to prevent mine run-off and soil wash-off. Presently as I m walking over the tailings I can feel the auora of dust and tailings sweeping into my lungs and the particles almost crushing under the teeth. We can see the wind blown dust flying miles together as a sandstorm over the lakya dam valley. Such silt tailings have become the abondoned ground of the industrial pollution which needs to be taken for litigation for creating havoc in terms of air and water pollution.But on the other side of the hill if you trek on the Kudremukh Mountain it is full of life with beautiful plants, herbs shrubs and trees in the valleys and various grasses on the grassland hill tops. Aren't we polluting our environment ?

Sea side forests of Arabian Bay

Forests are beutiful, high and low slopes never walked upon, dry and green grasslands, velvety depressions of shola jungles. Chirping of variety of birds both in the sky and in the valleys fills these old mountains with panoramic view seen never before. An untouched virgin patch of forests with wide spread reign of peace and tranquility writ large on the face of Arabian Coasts are like "Alice in the Wonderland" for all of us.

Kudremukh National Park

One of the most beautiful place In the midst of green grassy patch of Shola Forests on the high hills of Kudremukh National Park treading the unbeaten path is a wonderful experience. Short statured trees of Shola Species, wide and extensive grasslands. Number of waterfalls surrounding the wonderland of numbers of variety of wild animals makes a spectacle of imagenery paradise which you would have thought of before coming here.
