Last day of the trip, feeling little tired and also 500+ KM travel ahead to challenge us. Got up at 7 AM and got ready for the temple. Temple building is so huge and mostly built with modern technology unlike granite carved. Shiva statue is behind the main temple. Main temple Gopuram is so huge (20 storied) that we were stunned by seeing two Lifts at one side and stair at other side to reach the top of the Gopuram to see the breath taking 123 feet Shiva statue with Beach background. Sad thing is 10/- ticket for the lift but we should not miss the view.Finished main temple darshan and then to Shiva statue temple which is just behind the main temple. 123 feet Shiva statue is stunning and cant move from it.
The Magnificent view:
OMG Shiva:

After temple visit, had breakfast in a beach view hotel which is next to temple and then back to hotel. At 10 AM finished checkout and started to BLR. Route between Murudeshwar and Shimoga also breathtaking view with lush green, milky waterfalls and ghat roads. Time has passed very quickly till Shimoga.
Waterfalls on the road side while going to Shimoga:
Srikanth wanted to experience the Lion safari, so stopped in Shimoga Zoo which was missed in first day. 40/- for Zoo entrance and then 70/- for Safari for each person. Safari is complete waste of money, with in 15 mins finished with few lions and tigers. Bangalore Zoo safari is so much better. Finished lunch inside Zoo and started to BLR at 2 PM without visiting the Zoo.

Roads are horrible between Shimoga & Chitradurga, complete single roads with lot of patches. Srikanth only riding completely from the morning as he is not able to sit on pillion seat. Reached Chitradurga at 5 PM after a long struggle. Wind power mills in Chitradurga are good to see. From Chitradurga on-words, got a great relief with NH-4. Had dinner at Adigas Hotel in the middle and slowly reached home by 10:00 PM after crossing the horrible Yeswanthpur traffic.
Finally the longest trip is finished with many beautiful memories, which will cherish in our life time.
