Lovely Sunday morning we planned to take a road trip to Sivasamudram and Somnathpur. Planned to reach Sivasamudram at around 12 pm and then we would head towards Somnathpur Temple by 3pm, so we can reach there before sunset. We started from Bangalore at around 8:30 am in the morning. On the outskirt of Bangalore stopped for some breakfast.
the Kanakapura Road.
We reached Kanakapura at around 10 am, After Kanakapura the raod is not good.
stopped for some refreshment
It also most took us more than 2 hours to reach Sivasamudram. So at around 12:30 pm we reached at Sivasamudram.

At around 3 pm we started for Somnathpur. It was raining at that time but we don’t have any option so we had to cover 43 KM and this part of the road horrible. We could not cross 40 km/hr speed limit on this road. Rain still continuing pouring down……………we are fully drenched in rain. Around 4:40 pm we reached Somnathpur. Luckily we reached before 1 hr schedule close time.
