Recent trip to Wayanad...

We made a recent trip to Wayanad...an unspoilt (yes...still so) scenic paradise. Situated on the border of Kerala and Karnataka (border of bandipur actually) this was a ideal weekend retreat for all of us bored bangloreans. We left on a saturday morning and the route took us through the Bandipur wildlife reserve.I kept craning my neck outside the car window and luckily spotted some peacocks, spotted deer and also a wild elephant...(there were some claims of having spotted a bison...but it remains disputed as of now..).

We reached around evening and stayed in the forest guest house in the Muthanga Wildlife sanctuary.That was quite an experience. As we sat in the verandah, we saw spotted deer grazing on the field next to our compound, peacefully.Staying in the forst guest house was a unique experience.So was our early morning sojourn in the forest department jeep to spot more animals....this time we saw some more deer,wild fowl, monkeys and a reclusive sambhar deer!

Lovely images from the Muthanga Wildlife reserve:

Also went to the Edakkal caves and though the climb was tiring ...it was worth the effort...the cave paintings are indeed awe-inspiring and the view from the top is breath-taking...

We could not see pookut lake because of the time shortage but next time maybe we can!

There was also this waterfalls we went to see ( i don't remember).We had to trek a lot (poor tired souls) and at the end of it there was nothing but a trickle to water!

Finally we came back on sunday night and the trip though short will remain memorable...
