Muthyalamaduvu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muthyalamaduvu is a picnic spot near Anekal, 40 km from Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

In the local Kannada language, Muthyalamaduvu means 'pearl valley' (muthu = pearl and maduvu = valley), apparently named for its 92 meter waterfall, whose falling water appears to look like drops of pearl.

The source of the water is the nearby Onakanahalli Tank. There are quite a few resorts to chose from nearby and there is a KSTDC run restaurant. Due to its verdant foliage, Muthyalamaduvu is popular among urbanites as a weekend retreat.

Muthyalamaduvu is an hours drive from Bangalore. It is approximately 35 km on the periphery of Banneraghatta National Park.

To reach the place, head out on Banneraghatta Road, continue beyond Banneraghatta National Park and reach Anekal. The road from Bangalore to Anekal is quite good but after the right turn at Anekal for Muthyalamaduvu, don't expect good roads (Or don't expect roads :-)).

The entire stretch from Bangalore (after Bannerghatta National Park) is very scenic and beautiful. Don't expect to find any food or accommodation, but you may find some one selling beer and soft drinks.
