Most people miss this very special spot on the Basel ghat road. The ridge of the Western ghats that separates the two sides is marked on the lake side. It's a very small silent lake in the middle of the small village of mankanahalli. As most travellers miss it, you better have all eyes open...
Karnataka has a series of ridge points in north-south direction over the western ghats. One such ridge is in Mankanahalli on Bisile ghat section. Any rain drop which falls to the left of this slab, goes to the Arabian sea. Anything on the right side, flows to the Bay of Bengal.Once in a life time we all should visit like this place.
Rainfall on the ridge flow to various streams in the Ghat which than link up with rivers before ending their journey either in the Arabian Sea in the west or Bay of Bengal Bengal in the east. stone slab on a platform where it is engraved 'Arabian Sea' and 'Bay of Bengal' indicating the direction of flow of water between the two seas. British officers had decided that it was the ridge point
It is in the way to bisile view point.Place must to visit.there is a hill nearby where you can do mini trek.
Lovely location between Bisale view point and vanagooru Koodu raste. .A small lake with a scenic background.
Beautiful lake. Near highway. Parking space available. Such a good view in rainy morning. Misty weather and light rain will give a refreshing mind. Small shops available nearby. Must take a break here and proceed. Its a good place for photo shoot. Clean water in monsoon. Don't know about swimming allowed or not.
This is very small lake, yet very beautiful. This is located just besides the "Ridge Point". This could be peaceful 15 min Stop. Click some pictures and good to go . Bisle Ghat is just 6kms from this point. So if you are heading towards bisle, this place is worth exploring. And around 600 meters before reaching this point, there's a hill called "Patla Betta". If you are travelling by this road, you can't afford to miss this place.
I don't know what everyone feel but this is one of the most frequently visited place by me. I love to sit and watch the waves and the weather always attracts me. No hotels, no public toilets available. For food bisle and kuduraste are the options
