But my love isn&#8217;t limited to people; I also have a penchant for falling in love with places. I fall head over heels for hills and muddy trails that smell like the rain \u2013 sometimes literally, because muddy trails and heels do not mix well. Getting to know a new place is a little like dating \u2013 you explore what you like and hate about it, wonder how compatible you are, and then attempt to decide if you could settle down there or if you need to keep looking. My visit to the Western Ghats of Karnataka was nothing short of love affairs that keeps replaying the most beautiful moments in my mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What started as a spontaneous trip to the Great West ended in an unrequited love affair with the places that completely stole my heart. In the realm of finding love, I wouldn&#8217;t necessarily call myself shallow, but I recall being hopelessly enamoured by the beauty of the Western Ghats. It&#8217;s incredible how the memories I have of the cities in the Western Ghats of Karnataka stitch together in moments that I can smell, taste, and experience more than I can narrate. The soundtracks played in the car during my journey still have the power to transport me back in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here\u2019s to all the <strong>places I\u2019ve loved before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agumbe: <em>The Wild Love Affair<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Agumbe,<br>We were an unexpected match, but I think it\u2019s going to be one for the ages. It was the winter of 2017 when it all started. I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/bangalore\/book-taxi\">booked a cab<\/a> from Bangalore to see what you had to offer. I tried to keep my expectations low for our first meeting. I had my apprehensions &#8211; I was told you house a huge population of snakes! However, my earliest memories of you centred around the popular TV series, Malgudi Days, which was said to be based on you, which made me believe you had plenty of admirers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SaurabhSawant_Jogigundi_Agumbe_2015_IMG_4338-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Western Ghats Karnataka\" class=\"wp-image-12465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SaurabhSawant_Jogigundi_Agumbe_2015_IMG_4338-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SaurabhSawant_Jogigundi_Agumbe_2015_IMG_4338-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/SaurabhSawant_Jogigundi_Agumbe_2015_IMG_4338-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption> Jogigundi Falls in Agumbe <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember being enchanted by the serenity of Jogigundi Falls and its surroundings. The tumbling waterfalls and chirping of the birds filled the air with a vibrant spirit. My friend and I had a cup of piping hot maggi as we soaked in your beautiful views. I remember feeling like there was nothing more picturesque than the sights of the waterfalls you had, but I was wrong. We trekked through the Agumbe village to reach the sunset viewpoint. I will never forget my reaction to seeing your views for the first time. I was gobsmacked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you have had your share of tribulations. You are renowned as India&#8217;s only remaining rainforest, which tells me that you have been through a lot on this ever-changing planet.&nbsp;All your vistas are profoundly unique, yet they have one thing in common &#8211; the ability to uplift my mood, energise me, and enhance my connection to the natural world. So, while we only had one lovely week together, I&#8217;m hoping it&#8217;s the beginning of many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Roads_of_Agumbe-2.jpg\" alt=\"Agumbe\" class=\"wp-image-12464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Roads_of_Agumbe-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Roads_of_Agumbe-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Roads_of_Agumbe-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Agumbe, Karnataka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Places to visit in Agumbe: <\/strong>Jogigundi Falls, Agumbe Sunset View Point, Barkana Falls, Onake Abbi Falls, Gopalkrishna Temple, Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best time to visit Agumbe: Being in an evergreen landscape, the weather here is defined as subtropical humid. Although monsoon is the time when the entire region becomes denser, greener, and mistier, it is safe to avoid the rainy season since the soil is loose and the forests and nearby villages are often flooded. Winters are very chilly and cold and summers are hot and humid. So, the best time to explore is between November and February, when the weather is cool but dry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Also Read: Agumbe: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/agumbe-cobra-capital-of-india-a-complete-travel-guide\/\">Cobra Capital of India | A Complete Travel Guide<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chikmagalur: <\/strong><strong><em>More than just a coffee date<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Chikmagalur,<br>I remember the first time I met you. I was young and naive to the likes of you, and my parents didn&#8217;t quite approve of our meeting. I wanted to try the coffee you are famed for, but they said I was too young for it. At first, I had to agree. Sipping on the coffee harvested from your estates in one chilly evening, I realised it was more bitter than I expected. I didn&#8217;t know if I was ready to let that bitterness into my life. Of course, a little bit down the road, I decided to give you a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what it was that lured me to you. Maybe it&#8217;s your welcoming scent or the way you instantly make me feel alive. It could also be your pristine mountains like<strong> Baba Budangiri,<\/strong> magnificent waterfalls like<strong> Jhari falls<\/strong> or your green gorges and mouth-watering cuisine that kept pulling me closer to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Chikkamagaluru_as_seen_from_Mullayanagiri_-_panoramio-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Western Ghats Karnataka\" class=\"wp-image-12467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Chikkamagaluru_as_seen_from_Mullayanagiri_-_panoramio.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Chikkamagaluru_as_seen_from_Mullayanagiri_-_panoramio-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Chikkamagaluru_as_seen_from_Mullayanagiri_-_panoramio-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Mullayanagiri in Chikmagalur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, I decided to take a road trip with my friends from Mangalore and <strong>camp at Mullayanagiri,<\/strong> the peak of your humble abode in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. I recall sitting up by the fire, looking at the stars and the fireflies rising from the meadow. As it got late, the chorus of insects and frogs quieted and there was a different quality of sound, a deep stillness. I felt like I was gradually blending into your landscape, and that&#8217;s when I knew, I left a piece of me with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You showed me that first impressions over coffee are never enough. Some escapades require more time to truly appreciate the beauty one has to offer, just how I was besotted by your bounty. I know love is more than skin deep, but wow, you\u2019re gorgeous! Some of the best moments we had were quiet ones without anyone else around. I\u2019m not sure when we\u2019ll see each other again but, until then, I\u2019ll look at the photos and smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Clouds-and-mountains-in-Chikmagalur-269039-pixahive.jpg\" alt=\"Western Ghats Karnataka\" class=\"wp-image-12468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Clouds-and-mountains-in-Chikmagalur-269039-pixahive.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Clouds-and-mountains-in-Chikmagalur-269039-pixahive-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Clouds-and-mountains-in-Chikmagalur-269039-pixahive-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Places to visit in Chikmagalur: <\/strong>Kalhatti Falls, Dakshinamnaya Sharada Peetham, Ayyanakere Lake, Jhari Waterfalls, Kudremukh National Park, Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, Seethalayanagiri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best time to visit Chikmagalur: <\/strong>Chikmagalur enjoys a very moderate climate with good weather throughout the year, making it conducive enough to explore anytime.
