Drive to Gudibande and Sabbanahalli Lake

Finally after a long break reviving the blog. This was a one day drive to Sabbanahalli Lake. Bonus was Gudibande Lake which fell on the way. 

Map from Bangalore (Hebbal) to Sabbanahalli. 

While going we didn't go via the default route that Google maps shows and we took the route via Beechanaganahalli. This is a better route as the default route via Nandaganahalli has some bad  stretches. 

So after a long straight drive on NH 44 we took left at Beechanaganahalli and took the Gudibande Gouribidnur Road. This road was good. 

After 20 minutes on this road we found Gudibande lake on the left. The lake was almost at its brim at certain places! 

Post that another 20 minutes we reached Sabbanahalli Lake. This was also on the left. 

The location that Google shows as the view point is actually ahead of the proper pathway to the lake. We found a big crowd there! 

But the actual pathway to the lake was quite empty! Again thanks to people blindly following google! 

We didn't go down to the lake bed but saw few cars had been there. Doable in a hatchback. 

10 mins photo shoot and we were back home! 

Pick this place if you want a nice driving experience on good roads. 

There are almost no shade over there so if you are going with family plan for some options like a makeshift cover etc as it can get quite hot during mid day!
