Re: Quick Bangalore Meet (Surprise) EDIT: Another Meet on 27th April!

Please decide the following
  • Is it a one day meet ?
  • Is it a morning meet ?
  • Is it an evening meet?
  • Is it with family meet ?
  • Is it without family meet?

Depending on the above, decide the place.

If it is an evening meet, planning for Nandi Hills or Sivanasamudram do not make any sense.
If it is a full day meet, you can even think of some resorts outskirts of Bangalore where you get lunch, lots of parking etc.
If it is morning meet, select some breakfast joint in town where you have space for parking.

If you finalize the destination and if it is not suitable, the purpose of many page discussion will go in vain.

As per my limited knowledge, do not think of any samudra/falls as the water level are very less. You will not enjoy these places during summer.

I think it is a day meet outside bangalore and a evening meet inside bangalore[;)]. No families and only singles I think

This season there will be no water, given the scarcity of rains, approach road is also bad, suited best for SUVs and cars with high GC.
Absolutely no water when I visited a few months back. And there is no rain later on for the flow to improve

The pics show....

@Ram

Place looks to be interesting with good amount of greenery around and there is some water. How is it for the rides to park and anything on the lunch availability there

Very poor facilities, not advisable at present. I still feel Yercaud is a better place to consider. But up to all members

So two meets on same day ?

In that case, go for 60-80KM from Bangalore for day meet. You can check some resorts in Hosakote (Heard about Confident Amoon). You can ask them for some discount depending on the number of people. Say them you do need rooms. Just want to refresh and spend some nice time. They may offer a group package. If it is worth, you can opt for that (just a suggestion). All can discuss about cars /see each others cars in shade (hope they have a shade parking [lol])

Evening, plan for a quick meet. May not be able to inspect others cars. Just have some quick meet with some snacks/tea. People can even come in their bike instead of taking cars in heavy traffic. Cant even imagine Saturday evening -Bangalore traffic at some areas.

I cant confirm my participation even at this stage. Just thought of sharing

@Appus,

Hahahahahah, no two meets buddy, the evening one is un-official for enthusiasts who want to spend time chatting at a joint [;)]

A resort, oh again packed in rooms, the meet purpose is to have some fresh air for our rides and us, so a place with some nice trees around to sit and talk enjoy the place too for a while some thing like our people have been to canva dam last time did some good feets with their rides in the water, a facility for simple lunch somewhere near by , that's it.

I still hope that you will make it for a meet

Today got this sheet from one of my friends. Hope this will help to find places near Bangalore.
Ford has made this task a little more easier. You can perhaps explore one of the locations listed in Urban Discoveries Contest (Link)?

That is the reason I suggested resorts and not Hotels. Parking in shades was my primary intention to suggest something like that.

Normally, these resorts have acres of land with garden, walk around, open area with shade with cool breeze. That is why i mentioned 'say them you do not need rooms'. It is again up to you and members who participate to decide the spot.

Nice find. [:)]. Checked few on the first page. Most of them are either restaurants or just a building. I do not know what is so special about Jal Bhavan (everyday i go in front of that). There may be some good option in 45 page list

@Appus

Yeah I agree with you on the resort idea, but if we get such place in some nature scenic spot, then it will be more good

@Girish, what is that exactly and any more details of the same

Guys,
This thread keep on growing without any particular places.
Please suggest 3 places who are interested to join the meet. The majority of the place will be final. Based on the Place, we can decide other things like morning/evening/full day or with/without family.

From my side,
1. Yelagiri
2. Krishnagiri (Just a morning drive and have together breakfast and comeback)
3.Nandi hills

If anyone can start a poll also with few place names, that should be fine. What's say?

Hi Guys!!!

There is a place called Mathigiri near Hosur and there is a cattle farm, 190 years old. Adjacent to that there is a ground spread over many acres. Its like a big lawn with lot of trees especially the big old banyan tree. People used to play cricket, use it for get together, meetings venue and picnic etc. There are lot of restaurants around Hosur. But I don't know the present situation of this place, and if it ok for everyone, I will find out the present details.

Attached are few photographs from the website.
