Holy Trinity of Reservoirs

 

⚔️ CHALLENGE DOCKET: Waterbodies - The Holy Trinity Protocol

The journey to enlightenment requires both fire and water. This docket entry chronicles a spontaneous 150km run—a true test of faith and endurance—that led eJ and The Loapers to a defining baptism.

We present the three phases of the elemental quest:


  1. The Watchman (Manchinbele): The formidable fortress of water. A spectacular view that demands respect, but warns of the price of carelessness. (The Danger).

  2. The Revelation (NG Lake): The ultimate prize for those who choose direction over destination. A serene, accidental discovery that grants momentary, crystal-clear perspective. (The Discovery).

  3. The Homefront (Kanva): The final battleground. Ninety minutes of submersion until the soul is cleansed, the mission is complete, and the setting sun delivers the final purification. (The Redemption).

From an impulsive ride to a definitive record. This is how the trinity was found!! 

Manchinbele

1. MANCHINEBELE:
Distance = 35kms
Roads = Good Roads.
Rating = 3/5
Manchinbele Dam is a famous tourist spot. It is known for the various bird species and also the mishaps that have occurred at this place. The “first view” one gets of the place is truly breath taking. Having Savandurga in the background the reservoir looks really majestic on a shiny day. The Big Banyan tree can be clubbed along with this reservoir. Swimming at his place is prohibited and the waters are dirty.


2. KANVA RESERVOIR:
Distance = 60kms
Roads = Excellent Roads, but difficult to find.
Rating = 4.5/5
Kanva reservoir is or rather “was” and will be a major tourist attraction. It known for its bird life and surrounded by wooded hills.  It was our favorite get away from college and we have done may trips to this place all throughout the year. It saddens me to say that the waters of this place have dried up since 3 years. But the government has taken up initiative to convert this place into a water park. So let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.


3. NELLIGUDE KERE:
Distance = 35kms
Roads = Good Roads.
Rating = 3.5/5
NG lake is twin lake of Manchinbele. They are only a few kilometres apart. This lake offers a best morning for a peaceful Sunday. A bike can be taken on the bunds and the road that run parallel to it is a bliss to ride upon. This road to this lake continues to reach Bidadi main junction, so one can always think of clubbing Manchinbele with this and finish the chapter with some tasty idly’s at Bidadi.
