We crossed a couple of hanging bridges adjacent to each other enroute to Sringeri and I could not help but stop and take these pictures..One of them was defunct , but it had more charm than the other newly built bridge.I was tempted to cross over to the other side and lose myself in the wild..but as Frost said
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep. ”
wow!its amazing i wish even i should go to this place
These are charming photos indeed! Someday I must travel there!
I love robert frost!!! isn’t he awesome!
Aravind – Its the best place spiritually I have ever been to..
Ashley – Good to see you here, I am sure you will
Matt – My life has been designed by Frost and his poetry ..Ive always chosen the road not taken ..even now..

Hi Lakshmi! Here I am for the weekly visit… 😉
The hanging bridges look amazing and the woods are beautiful; but I’m suspect as I always loved hanging bridges… ;))
The thousand pillars basadi seems to be absolutely stunning! Wonderful pictures and a great post!
Thanks for your comment on Blogtrotter, which has now landed in the imperial town of Marrakesh, the Red City!
Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!
Gil – Ive just returned after seeing your post and what a coincidence that u are paying me a visit at the same time..the hanging bridges were calling me, but the truth is my parents were insisting that I leave immediately ..so that was it
lakshmi
You really uncover some treasured locations.
My mother taught me that poem by Robert Frost ….
David – Thats the best part of traveling..most places are like “desert roses , born to born and blush unnoticed..”
wow..your mother must like poetry a lot 🙂
Lakshmi

Awesome pics!!
WoW…nice visiting your blog after a long time along with these some lovely lovely photos & the aptly beautiful words to go with it….it reminds me of similar hanging bridges en route to Sikkim. I also love the view of them & is a real adventure crossing them…
I simply love the photos in your last post too which are so Exquisite…
& hope you are fine, as of me I’m doing well now…it will take me some more time to return to regular blogging….In the meanwhile I have been posting some backhand posts with earlier dates. I think you can check them through the feed, if you wish….Thanks & Have a wonderful time!
Fantastic pictures Lakshmi.. you rock….
Beautiful photos.I once encountered such a bridge on my trip to Garjia Mata Temple near Corbett,but that was much smaller.
I love the feeling you get walking on them,with your ears fearing that creaking sound of wood as you walk:-)
I think I saw that bridge on the discovery Channel.
yeah..certainly fantastic picstures….u really snapshot superbly..!!
I love such places!
Can never have enough of the scenic beauty of of the Western Ghats, and the vegetatation is so interesting.
I’m looking forward to your post on Shringeri. 🙂
I loved the pictures.. you seemed to capture the soul of ancient monuments in your other posts. What camera lens do you use?
Nice 🙂
Nice…DO they still have the fishes – Raja, Rani there? in Sringeri?
Rope bridges are exciting. There is a tiny one in Vythiri resorts, Wayanad and how my daughters jumped on them… they still remember the fun they had there.

lakshmi
You’re welcome, is it the longest bridge for only people?
Lakshmi,
first time visitor here..nice pics. of the bridges to Sringeri, brought back nostalgic memories of our visits there.
Wow, where are these bridges??? awesome stuff….
Robert frost-ah, a favorite of mine too… 🙂
Emperor Ropi – I wouldnt know that..though I presume in those parts, it must be considered a long bridge
Mitr_bayarea – Welcome to backpakker and I am glad that you liked the post and it brought back memories ..thanks and do drop in more often
Aaarti – They are enroute to Sringeri from Moodabidri..not sure of the exact location..yeah, robert frost is a great poet..I love most of his poems
Lakshmi
It is so heart-warming to see that there is still so much of unspoiled, natural beauty all over India.
Kamini.
Another wonderous place…I am so happy to experience these bridges from your eyes.
Kamini – Unfortunately the Indian tourists have still not learned how to preserve our culture and beauty..at one end we want to create awareness about the destination and at the other , not to make them a picnic spot
Stephanie – Thanks for the comment..am glad that you are enjoying this ride
lakshmi
