After a year's planning our trip finally atleast few of us made it to the trip... I went to mysore for a weekend... Thought would hang out with few people and enjoy my weekend.. Saturday managed to get into the 7 O' clock train(though intended to catch 6.30 train)... Gosh after standing in a BIIIIIIIIG queue i managed to get one ticket.... Got into the train... Train was quite crowded.. Managed to grab a seat finally... Journey was good.. Met a stranger(turned to a friend) by end of journey... Once reached mysore.. its soo different a feel belive me,... That's heaven... :)
As soon as i entered mysore first person i missed was rashmi.... We both used to roam around mysore like mad...
Till 4 we were still talking and deciding on what to do and what to plan... it was just on... Werent even sure of visiting Nagarhole.. Finally decided to start on sunday.. Me, Deepanna, Pavi and Swaroop.... Evening went around roaming with my friends and had a good time....
Reached Nagarhole entrance at 4 PM... started moving inside the forest... For a long distance we couldnt even see a ant... :P We just kept on waiting watching.... The LUSH GREEN.. oh man... treat to my eyes.. was all happy and enjoyed it... We posed and took a lot of pics... Deepana took us throught a place where it was bamboos all over everwhere.. GREEN BAMBOO..... Woooooooooooooow... that road was filled in with all the green........ I got out of car.. posed a lot... and took wonderful pics... :) After i got out of the car and pics taken, deepanna explained, thats the path where in there are plenty of elephants... oh my i was damn scared... Then we moved on... Suddenly swaroop said.. "erehula hutta" oh man.. all of us burst out of laughter... he never knew it was Geddalu hula not ere hula.... ;) We named him as ENTAMOLOGIST.... ;) Hehehehe....
Deepanna asked "How dares to touch and elephant and who can take a pic next to it?" Hehehe i said Yes and he stopped in a elephant camp.. Its good to see elephants far far away.. saw one wonded elephant which is being tamed for 3 months.. They said, it will take 6 months to tame an elephant... There i dared to really take a pic in next to elephant.. after taking 3 pics.. i found a better pic.. ;)
Then after few nice pics.. We started ahead to go near the forest guest house.. Hehehe found two deer.. We are like take our the camera and start shoooting.. Deepanna said" Come on you guys stop taking pics.. i promise to show atleast of 200 deers before we are back".. And that was true.. we saw as many as probably more than 200 deers that day.....I realised and We took loads of pic.. Literally by the time we were back we were bugged of seeign deers, stags... pavi started telling "Kuri Mande nodida hage agutte(sheep herd)" whenever we encountered deers... We saw peacocks too and by the time we reached the Forest Guest House it was 6 O Clock...We had a quick tea there.. Guards over there started hurrying up and asking us to leave... So we started at 6.30... Slowly we started from there.. Deepanna was all excited and thrilled on our drive back.. he said... we will get to see tigers and leopards.... Hmm started growing dark.. Oh Man... It was really scary.. Could see only the car headlights on the way and the moon light... It was really scary.. all the windows down and literally waiting too see the animals... We moved quite slow.. and here it comes, could see eyes shining... Hehehe.. There it was... Bisons.. two of them lying down and relaxing.... And we were about to take the pic.. there was some noise in the near by bush.. I started shouting somethign there.. deepanna just speeded away for few yards.... We realised it was another bison... Got nicely scolded by all of them.. :D
The roads were quite narrow.. there came another car and we slowed down to let them pass... i just turned and there is one elephant next to my window.. My breath was held for a minute.. we slowly passed it... Oh my.. t was breath taking... I will never forget it in my life..... Finally reached back to mysore by 9...
One of the best trips.. i love nature and would love to be with it forever...
THREE CHEERS TO..... DEEPANNA, PAVI,SWAROOP and ME...... We missed sandesh the most... :(
