Agumbe |
|
| |
| If you enjoy spectacular
sunsets, sparkling streams, verdant village vistas, and
an unspoilt rustic ambience, Agumbe is the place for you.
Situated at an elevation of 826m in Shimoga district,
Agumbe provided the perfect setting for R. K. Narayan
to film his novel Malgudi Days. Agumbe and its environs
are full of exciting trekking routes. Forested trails
lead from here to a jungle pond called Emkal Kere, a hillock
called Nishani Gudda, and to Barkana Falls. Agumbe is
also known as the Cherrapunji of South India. |
| |
| You can also stop by
the 14th century temple with Hoysala-style sculptures
dedicated to Lord Gopalakrishna. The sunset as seen from
Agumbe is a spectacular sight and many visitors come here
to watch it, especially between November and January.
A microwave tower, a significant landmark of Agumbe, is
located at this point. |
