30th April Night.
The Journey Started on 30th April night around 10-11 pm, Where my roomates, I had plan to join them from Mysore, my home town. As I was left to Mysore to cast my precious Vote[:)] on 29th of April only, As General election was in Mysore on 30th April. I was anxiously waiting to get in to the cab, at last our cab reached at early morning 4Am to Mysore. Huff!!! i got into the cab, journey started towards Kapetta, Kerala via Najangudu-Gundlupete.
1st May.
Around 6-7 we reached waynad RT
O check post. Climate was awesome in the morning, with fog. From there Kalpetta was around 40kms. We reached Kalpetta around 7:30am and got the Guest House booked one.
We took rest for a 2 hrs, and we started Towards Meenmuty Water falls around 11:30 am. Meenmuty Water falls was around 22 kms so we reached the place. Our Driver[Gopi] stopped cab just before the road ends, so we started walking towards the Water Falls.
The Water falls was really awesome one should see in life time, Its life time experience. Climbing the hills, its kind of Trecking cum climbing and using ropes, very small foot path, We lost tons of sweat to see the water falls.
The Water falls was really
awesome with water falling 500 meter on the rocks which makes rainbow every often. After watching falls from long distance. It was time to Play with Water, It was different place where we have to play in water, But water was bit muddy kind of. But still we enjoyed in water for half an hour.
By the time we came out from water it was around 4pm, Everyone was seriously hungry. When we before reaching the waterfalls, there was a home food, We ordered the food so that by the time we came back food will be ready.
The Food was good, Bit kerala style added in that. Fish, Chicken and meals total package was good. One thing was everybody was hungry, so no one questioned anything.
After had a good food we started to go back to our guest house as there was no other place to visit on that day time was showing around 5:30pm. So we left with our memories of Water falls to our guest house. While going got down in between to take some snaps With Whole Group.
In the nite we had little snacks as one one was feeling hungry. Watched IPL match B/w Punjab v/s Bangalore team. It was good Bangalore team won the match after series of defeats.
That's the end of 1st Day.
2nd May.
As usual everyone got ready lately, we(Viond, Kamesh and me) went for Photo shoot in nature, It was good. Took lot of pics with different angle, tried new Camera techinques. took snaps with Aperture mode and some other things.
Morning Breakfast this time we had it in Udupi Restaruant, I was little surprised by seeing Udupi Restarurant there. Food was really good. After breakfast we started towards the Next place that is ViewPoint. ohh!!! it was really awesome at the same time scary to see in such view.
Again took some snaps, and started moving towards next Place. The Next place was Pookod Lake, which was on the return way to kalp
etta from view point. Lake was good. everyone was interested in Pedal boating. So got into the pedal boating for 40 mins. It lot of snaps in between.
After reaching Kalpetta we had lunch in Woodland Restaurant. It was okey kind of food. By the Time we finished Lunch it was around 3:30pm.
3rd place for the 2nd day was Edakal Caves. which is 25 Kms from Kalpetta. comes in Sulthan Bathery town. Time was running out as entry will be till 5pm only. Somehow we managed to reach the place around 4:15pm, where we had to catch a jeep to go up to the Caves. We could not get the jeep as it was booked it 5pm. the route was 900meters distance, we started climbing, It was really terrific experience, with tons of sweating, fully tiered, but at last we managed to reach the gate with in 5pm. Got the tickets and entered inside the caves. There was not much too see except the words which were written around 4000bc years back. and narrow space between two rocks. we were little disappointed by seeing nothing after climbing such a hard steps.
After that we alted for a while near where our cab driver parked our Cab. Played Football cum basketball. Everthing we tried to get relax and time pass also. It was around 7:30pm we left the place and reached Kalpetta back and had dinner at K T C restaurant. And back to guest house.
Some of my Friends planned for Kamp Fire, but the whole day was tiersome. we could not join for camp fire, we took rest in our guest house.
That ends 2nd day.
3rd May.
Morning started with our nature photography again. Everyone got readied by 9am this time[:)]. Packaged all the luggage's to vacate the guest house. As it was the last day stay in Kalpetta. All luggages dumped into the cab, started journey towards next place that is Bansura Dam, which is around 25kms from Kalpetta. We reached Dam around 11:30pm, Again there we had to catch the Jeep service to reach the place. This time we got the jeep and reached the place easily. Banasura Dam is Asia's 2nd Largest dam, but i didn't see like that. Its not even half of our KRS dam. But Don't know in what sense its bigger.
There is one of the best moments of the trip that is Speed Boating, its worth money. Speed boating for 5 persons, we(Vinod, Kamesh, suri and me) went in as 1st batch. Its thrilling experience, we gave some bucks to the driver, he pumped up and started to thrill us. tilting boat from both ends, its almost boat going to be in water kind of. huff!!! we really got thrilling by that experience. 15 min was really worth in our life at least!!!.
After all batch completes we were back to the cab place. then started towards Kalpetta to have lunch and to proceed towards Mysore. In Kalpetta we had nice lunch(Kerala Chikken biriyani and Fish) . Food was really nice. I purchased some sweets(Kerala Halwa, special Lakshdweep Halwa and Jerry fruits to my little niece) to my home people. We had a plan to go to Waynad wild life sanctuary which falls on the way to Mysore. Again Time was running out we suppose to reach wild life sanctuary by 5pm. But could not managed to do so. It was 5:15pm, sad we couldn't make it. We requested forest officer but of no use.
So after little disappointment, we started moving towards Mysore via gundlupet. In between planned to visit Nanjundeshwara Temple in Nanjanagud. At 7:15pm we reached Nanjanagud. Visited temple, some of my friends amazed by seeing such big temple. It was nice, no rush as it was Sunday evening. Finished darshan in quick time, My friends said they want to visit Mysore palace, But the Time was short as Palace can be seen with lights on Sunday only between 7:00 pm to 8:00pm. Still we tried to reach Mysore asap, but in vein it was 8:15pm lights were already switched off.
Some purchased for those dear ones, After that i invited everyone to my home, which was on the way to Bangalore. As it was Sunday my Father and sister was there at home.
Good things usually end so soon, the journey ended!!!
Totally trip was like a kind of Adventure!!!
Everyone Enjoyed Kelara nature, Food and eveything...!
My Home people didn't like the Kerala Sweets, But my niece liked the jerry friuts[:)]
Again as asual i wake in the morning and catch a train to Bangalore....!!!
Back to the Work...!!!
