Its been long time I have packed my backpacks and gone out,so we decided to go for a quick refreshing trip.
we have started the plan with eight people but at last end up with only five me ,my room mate , her boyfriend and her two couple friends
We Started from Bangalore on Saturday morning around 3 am, took nice/mysore road route and took a coffee break in CCD around 5 am and reached Mysore around 6 am.
From Mysore we have taken Mysore bypass road and went towards Ooty and after passing Bandipur and Muthumalai forest road reached Masinagudi Vally around 9 am. we could spot couple of wild animals in both bandipur and muthumali forest range,once we entered the forest range complete weather was changed,it was calm,cool and serene. we stopped the songs in the car and driven slowly enjoying the natural beauty with out disturbing the nature.
we reached masinagudi around 9 and from there with out checking in to the resort, we have planned to visit ooty and climbed 36 hair pins and reached ooty.the steep climb was little risky and at the same time very thrilling.on each turn temperature started dropping, also giving a nice view of the nilgiri hills.
Around 10 am we reached ooty and went to lake view hotel for breakfast.The hotel was an old one but very neat and tidy had breakfast from there and headed to ooty lake for a leisure boat journey.ooty is a untouched scenic town welcoming you with its natures beauty pleasant climate and at the same time pleasant people.we could get the eucalyptus smell in the air also a fresh mountain air that will fill your lungs and could spot happy farmers who works in the land cultivating cabbage,carrots and other vegetables that grow in the cold climate.
every one was in a very happy mood,so we put some good songs that goes with the mood.boat journey was so pleasant ,we have taken couple of photos from there.The water in the river was so chill that you cant even keep your leg in the water.
After roaming around the town,we started back to masinagudi around 1pm and climbed down and reached the valley around 2 pm.the road to the resort was little remote and there was not much pointers to the resort so we have to call the manager in the resort to get the correct route and around 2 30 pm we reached the resort.
The manager was waiting for us and he along with a servant guided us to the camp site where we where going to stay,it was a two storey hut along with tow bath rooms which was very neat and clean.in the first floor we had a tent in which 3 people can occupy and a rack,same in the second floor also.we all liked the place kept all our belongings there and headed for lunch as it was already late and every one was very hungry.
Canteen was near by and lunch was served in a homely manner,including polkas,rise,Dal,tow sabjis,pappd,sweets etc.it was very simple lunch but delicious one prepared in a very homely manner.
After the lunch we have taken a walk around the resort,we could spot passion fruit trees,pomegranate trees and lot other trees in the resort best part was the view from our hut straight facing the beautiful blue nilgiri hills and a nice green natural lawn.
They have put lots of swinging beds also in the resort,I wished I had taken a nice book so that I could read that on that swing.there was a badminton court,tt table also which we have made use in the evening.
We all have taken good rest after the lunch because every one was so tired due to the traveling around 5 they served us tea,coffee and biscuits at our place again coffee was so homely delicious. Then we played couple of games and went for a evening safari in our car towards bandipur and muthumalai forest range hoping to see some more wild animals but couldn't spot many.
After the safari,we all freshened up and was ready for camp fire around 8 pm,they served us some snacks and guys where drinking and we all had a nice time chatting and enjoying the food around 9 30 we went for dinner and again dinner was so yummy like lunch adding up some more nice dishes and around 10 30 all went to bed.
In the morning every one woke up around 6 30 and got ready for the trekking to the near by nilgiri forest range.we had two guides and we where a group of 9 including two more people from the another guest groups.
slowly we started going in to the forest,initially we could see only bamboo's and a small dried out stream..but as we started walking more in to the forest bamboos vanished and started to hear a stream voice.and saw lots of big big trees and a small stream.
Once we entered to the forest the guide asked us not to make any noice and listen to the nature,every one went silent and started walking slowly in a man made path.we spotted a wild squirrel and heard a tiger voice also.he said once in the hills the temperature starts increasing the animals will come down from drinking water in the stream,we crossed the stream it would have been a big river in the rainy days the signs of the stream indicate that.
we climbed a rock and could have a nice view of the Vally and hills by the time every one was very hungry and tired,so we decided to go back.
around 10 am we reached the resort and a delicious and grant breakfast was waiting for us,every one satisfied our hungry stomach and retired to the camp sites. an interesting view was the deers in group who have visited near our camp sites to eat the grass I felt like the nature and me become one seeing it.
after a couple of hours rest we all got freshened and started back to Bangalore around 12 30.no one was in a mood to come from that resort,it was such a beautiful place where i felt human habitations and nature is living in harmony.
Every one was in a charged mood and we headed back and had a nice road trip back to Bangalore cracking jokes and taking couple of breaks for coffee and lunch.
we reached back Bangalore around 7 30 pm.
This trip is one of the memorable one I ever had.
