The two vagabonds - Travelogue

 Bengaluru's Chhota Ladakh Place : Chhota Ladakh Distance from Bangalore : Around 40-50 km Trip type : 2-3 hours Trekking length/Duration : None Difficulty level - None I heard about Chhota ladakh from few friends. When I googled it, the first look was pretty attractive and the place was just 40-50 from Bengaluru. So we made made impromptu plan for Chhota Ladakh. Definitely it was not the kind of place I was expecting.   First of all it is not even 300 mt from the road. you can just park your car and walk around 200 mt you will reach there. I saw some people even parked on the spot as well.  Second, the whole area is very very small. if there are 20 people you can not avoid them in the pictures.  Third, No place/rock is good enough to sit and there is nothing to do. This area is generally hot and there are no trees or shade available. I find this place dirty as well, many used bottles, cups, plates all around. One can not spend more than 30 minutes at this place.  My feedback
