COSTS of face-lift over 212 National Highway ( Bangalore - Calicut )

The legends that once stood tall who had their branches spread far are now cut down to size and uprooted. Road expansion on National Highway 212 has started @ Gundulpet.

Trees by the road are the first victims, with them the homes of many Birds, Bats, Squirrels & the Bees.

With respect to development, every new age positive comes with negatives. A row of tress could have been planted behind the existing line to keep the system cool and calm.The residents of these trees have to find a new address, the constant shrink for must be scary.

An opportunity to watch the Trees in their Glory days – you could ask for a copy @ the DreamCatcher Café. Photograph the existing tress to show your appreciation, beautiful ficus trees where their hanging roots looks like a beard or sample some tamarinds along the way, the natural khatta meetha.

Plant some saplings to keep the Balance – Cheers 

The New Age Juke Box

Many have suggested that we have Juke Box @ the Café. We would love to have one. My experience when I visited Café Mondegar in Bombay ( Mumbai ) which has a fabulous Jukebox, standing in line to punch your favorite Track and waiting for Hours to listen to it.

We are accustomed with new age technologies, Car systems with USB ports and I Pod compatibility storing number of tracks that you would like to listen to on your Journey. We @ the Café don’t have a Jukebox but we do have a USB / I Pod compatible Player. You could Plug & Play your Music. Share your best with the Café

Other Sanctuaries / National Park - Striking distance from the Café

NAGARAHOLE NATIONAL PARK

West of the Kabini River is the 643-sq-km wildlife sanctuary of Nagarhole National Park or Rajiv Gandhi National Park. The lush forests here are home to the tigers as well as leopards, elephants, gaurs, muntjacs (barking deer), wild dogs, bonnet macaques and common langurs. The park’s main entrance is 93km southwest of Mysore. However, the best accommodation and the most beautiful views are at the Kabini Lake side of the reserve, near the village of Karapura, around 80km south of Mysore.

BR HILLS WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

The Biligiriranga Hills, commonly called B R Hills, is a hill range situated in south-eastern Karnataka, at its border with Tamil Nadu in South India. The area is called Biligiriranga Swamy Temple Wildlife Sanctuary or simply BRT Wildlife Sanctuary. Being at the confluence of the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats, the sanctuary is home to eco-systems that are unique to both the mountain ranges.
