Honnavar - A true railfan paradise!

Inspired by various trips by members to KR's crown jewel, I headed out on a trip to see it with my own eyes. I was blown away by the peace, beauty and nature's grandeur which Honnavar is. Thanks to Appu and gang's detailed maps of the area, I was able to get around easily and let myself soak into nature and pristine diesel action. Presenting to you a place a railfan will never get tired seeing or visiting - Honnavar!
