Where rain drops part ways: Ever thought of a place where monsoon rain drops after hitting ground say good bye and commence their journey separately. @IfsMadhu shares the picture of such a place here 1/n #Monsoon #rain #india @KarnatakaWorld @tourismgoi @TheWesternGhat #stories 
Rain drops say good bye to each other to race to seas in two separate destinations .Yes, there exists many such locations in the Western Ghats of India. A ridge on Bisile Ghat in Sakleshpur in Hassan district in Karnataka divides the rain water flowing in the region 2/n
between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Rain drops on the ridge hit the ground to flow to various streams in the Ghat which then link up with rivers before ending their journey either in the Arabian Sea in the west or Bay of Bengal Bengal in the east. 3/n
British officers felt it apt to denote the point of this separation with a stone pillar clearly mentioning the two directions of the flow and the destinations. From this ridge, rain water flowing to the west joins River Kumaradhara, flowing through the pilgrim centre 4/n
of Kukke Subramanaya and then unites with River Netravathy before making it to Arabian Sea. Water flowing to the east links up with River Hemavathy, a tributary of River Cauvery, to culminate its journey in the Bay of Bengal after flowing through TN. @DeccanChronicle reports 5/n
Such ridge points are seen in the hilly regions of Western Ghats and determine water flow to rivers either flowing west or east. One such ridge point is at Kalasa in Mudigere where water flows separately to Sringeri and Mudigere. 6/n
Similarly, water flowing from Pushpagiri Hills of Madikeri gets ‘split’ into two-one reaches River Cauvery and the other River Kumaradhara. Western Ghats is storehouse of many such astounding locations. The proof of the pudding is in eating it. Happy Monsoon Days.! 7/7
