Hello friends & blog readers, from your good support today (April 11,2013) my blog "www.yashaswipayana.blogspot.com" (on behalf of 'Sutthona Banni Team Karnataka') completed its journey 4th year successfully & stepping to 5th year. 

In these 4 years I have published lot of information about tourist places of Karnataka state along with festivals,cultural programs of Karnataka. Nearly 80% of major tourist places of Karnataka has been published in this blog . From this year onwards I am planing to give information about the tourist places of South Indian states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh,Tamil Nadu, and also Goa & Maharashtra.

I am thankful to all readers of my blog. From your support my blog has reached to 189000+ page-views.  Due to shortage of time it is not possible me to update the blog regularly. So whenever time permits I will post the article about 1 new place. So keep in touch with this blog. Very soon our team will launch our own website related to tourism.

History of "Sutthona Banni Team Karnataka":

When I was studying in Engineering, I stayed in "Yashaswi Hostel Mysore" with my friends.In 2007 October we started a team called "Yashaswi Guys" (Shriharsha, Gajanan, Ganeshmurty ,Sudeep, Sharan, Mallesh, Chethan, Prakash, Viswa,Manju,Lakshman,Deepak,Suhas, Uttesh, Amrithraj, Shvu) & conducted many small trips around Mysore. In 2009 lot of other friends (not belongs to our hostel) also joined with our group (Yashwanth,Pradeep T, Praddep S, Vikas, Rohith, Nithin, Bharath, Swaroop, Sagar, Nandish, Kumar, Loknath, Chethan S, Hemanth, Harsha HC, Manohar,Sudarshan, Prakash, Sachin and many more). So on  April 11,2009 we renamed our team as "Sutthona Banni Team Mysore(SBTM)" & on behalf of our team I have started my blog "www.yashaswipayana.blogspot.com". Our team conducted trips to Kerala, Madikeri, Melukote, Mugilupete, MM Hills, BR Hills, Nagarahole, Irpu Falls, Prumbadi,Srirangapattana, Talakadu, Mudukutore, Shimsha, Ooty, Kodachadri, Jog falls, etc. 

After Engineering our team members got jobs in different locations. So in 2011 our team "SBTM" is renamed as "Sutthona Banni team Karnataka (SBTK)". And in 2011, we conducted trip to Yana, Sahasralinga, Chandragutti, Devarahole, Unchalli falls, Shivaganga Falls, Magod falls, Sathoddi falls etc. Currently I am collecting photographs from my team members & publishing them.

I wish you all "happy Ugadi-2013". Please keep in touch with this blog.

From, 

Shriharsha. B.S
