Balda Caves, Lake above the Mountain!!!
We 8 friends planned for a bike trip to Balda Caves in Orrisa. We fueled our bikes and started on Saturday. The breezy wind welcomed us for the refreshing trip. We choose the Vizianagaram, Bowdara junction Araku route for better road conditions. Said hi to the Thatipudi Reservoir and continued our Journey. After few Kms from Bowdara Junction nature started treating us for wonderful views and hues. The Araku roads are freshly laid layers of tar made our journey buttery smooth. Once the Ghat road section started the sudden turns and pin bind curves made our bike journey exciting. Many cottages, tent houses for accommodation are being added to meet the ever increasing tourist flow. We wizzed past the aromatic flavors of Araku coffee stalls and view points marking them for stop overs in the return path. We reached Araku by 3 pm, refreshed and ready to go. We paid a visit to the RanaJillada waterfalls, journeying through the wonderful Nature landscape with Yellow flowers, Bee Keeping field
