Chikmagalur food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Food was nice in the restaurant attached to the hotel in Kadur. The hotel is an economy one charging Rs.550 per day. On 26th we visited Kemmangundi Hills, Baba Budan giri, Kalathgiri or Kalahatti Falls, Bhadra Dam etc. And retired to hotel in the evening around 7 P.M. On 27th we just planned to visit Hebbe Falls, the road is very bad and you need to board the jeep to go there. We had Qualis, however except jeep you cannot go there. So getting into 1 jeep was time consuming. We were 6 people. So around 2 p.m we got one jeep and went there. We had a bath in the falls after trekking down, crossing 3 streams. Oh, it was slippery and we have to be very careful to cross them. But it was wonderful and refreshing to get a bath over there, its quite a good experience. On our way back, it was already 5:30 p.m, going to be dark, and also it was raining heavily, we had our tire punctured. And it was a funny scene. The road is terrific and only one vehicle can go, there are turning points from where 2 vehicles can pass but they are very few. So if any vehicle comes on our way either one has to go back to give another vehicle space.S o all the vehicles were jammed and there is a long que in the hill because of our vehicle. So many people got down there to help our vehicle move so that the road gets free. It was already 6 p.m. And ultimately the tyre was replaced and we reached Kemmangundi. We changed our dress in the Qualis. It was already dark and around &p.m. We were damn hungry. We ate snacks there and started for Bangalore. We ate dinner on our way at 8:30 P.M.

Hotel Review of Wood Way Estate
Comments: We had a good time at this place. Three families with 3 kids. The view is breathtaking in the morning. The caretaker will take you through the coffee estate and run you through some interesting anecdotes!! Sridhar who runs the place is a great guy...gives you perfect directions and ensures you try and get most comforts....even while he was sitting in Bangalore on this instane!!
Best Experience: The caretaker set up a basic bornfire - we could get our car all the way up to the bornfire - played some good music...good wine......caugth on some dumb sherards!!. You can carry your own liquor and place it in the extra large fridge in the kitchen ...
Worst Experience: Service was poor....friendly but Limited staff was the reason...Hot water for bathing is tough to come by....need to wait a while before it decides to flow through!!
