Finally am back from Korea and enjoying in India after 15 long months.. Than came this lovely long weekend which made us to plan a trip.. This time it was to Gods Own Country - Kerela which is one of the good tourist destination in the world. Kerela has a wide variety for tourists ranging from beaches to backwaters. Lush green hill stations... cool water falls..... tea estates... wildlife... and more.
Its been almost 3 years since i went with my college mates for a trip. Goa trip was my last big trip with kuduboyz that was way back in 2003. This time its to waynad. The trip was absolute fun and the glitches made it funnier and unforgettable, along with me mallik, srinivas, siddesh, vidyanand, lohith, hemanth , vinay(mandya), pradeep and harish were there to this trip.
We started our trip from Bangalore in 2 cars.. Srinivas aka kaspa Santro and Mallik Prakash aka papus Ascent , reached mysore there we noticed some problem with tyres of papus car, searched for a wheel alignment center, alignment was proper and the problem was becasue of one odd tyre and this got punctured at the same time papu decided to change the tyre this solved our purpose also. Then we begin our journey from mysore to waynad via Bandipur and gundalpet. The road and greenary and climate was perfect for our journey. We could sight some elephants and deer near bandipur.
After a this wonderful drive we reached waynad around 3. The first spot we visited was this Edakal Caves which is quite famous as there is a good old kannada movie with this name.
Through out the journey it was fun and harish aka hamali ,kaspa ,lohith aka khatri(with ghajini hair cut) and pradeep aka kencha did not miss to take the snaps for their portfolio.. lols.. nice talking to all.. teasing with old memories....
As we went up to Edakal caves it started to drizzle and mountain covered with the mist, which was a beautiful sight of nature ever you can have.....
That night we spent playing cards - (POT) which is a very nice way to pass the time, Next day we started to a Padinjarathara dam - the picturesque scenary of this dam is very attractice and to two water falls kanthapara falls and meenmutty falls.
Kanthapara falls is a small water fall which can be easliy reached also. Its again a good scenic location, Meenmutty falls the largest and most spectacular waterfall in Wayanad. A unique feature is that water drops about 300 metres over three stages. For reaching this falls we have to trek, its 2 km jungle trek off the main Ooty road. The trek is difficult when it rains as it becomes very slippery and u always have to fall so we did :)
The third and the last day we went to Chembra peak which is a private trea estate. At 2100 mts above mean sea level, Chembra is the highest peak in Wayanad and is ideal for trekking. Climbing this peak is a challenging mountaineering endeavour and would take a full dayThe scenic beauty of Wayanad, which is visible from the top of Chembra, is very exhilerating. The surrounding areas offer exceptional photo oppurtunities. We had a nice time in a stream of water here. This is where we got the kisses from leeches also. The last spot we went was Banasura dam to end the trip.
After having a good lunch at Sultan Bathery we started back to bangalore where we had a second glitch, again with the same papus car. This time it was not with tyre but with the clutch box. The car stopped moving completely in between gundalpet and waynad.The car stopped in the no mobile signal region which made it difficult to reach the people who were in srinivas's car. Hemanth managed to inform this by getting a little signal to his mobile. We found a mechanic and got car towed from their to gundulpet which got fixed next day.
It was scary moment to mallik and others who were in that car as the car stopped in the forest region where elephants move.
At last i would say Wayanad is a paradise. See it once and its green lush nature will remain in your memories forever.
