It all began with a sudden plan ! 6 of my colleagues and a
friend started from office to Honnavar in a Tempo traveler.On the way we
stopped for lunch at KB cross and moved further accompanied by snacks and songs
throughout the journey.We reached Honnavar at early morning and halted in a
room and rested for a while and moved towards Honnavar guest house.J

darshana and moved towards Idgunji Ganapathi temple around 11:30.After having
the darshanam we came back to our guest house for lunch.On the way back we visited Ganapthi vana. A small park with sculptures and stories regarding Lord Ganesh.
