Back to blogging after a real long time. Will blog more reqularly from now on. Quite a few blogs are lined up for the next one week.
Coming to this blog now. Taking advantage of the extended weekend we planned out a trip to this place called Madhumalai. It is a five hour drive from Bangi to MM. The road is good for most part. We left Bangi at 4 and reached MM around 9pm. A long round of antakshari keeping us busy. In the way we had spotted a single elephant, it had both its tusks. We also spotted a few deer on the way. On reaching MM, we checked into this resort in Masinagudi. The same night went out for a Night Safari, but sadly we could not spot too many animals. We drove and drove from 1o PM in the night to 1 AM, but we just spotted some rabits, some wild boars, a herd of buffaloes, a lot of elephant shit. At one place the guide, just stopped the jeep, shut all lights off, it was pitch dark and the silence was killing. The sky looked simply beautiful, full of stars. All of us living in cities, surely miss the beauty that nature is.
Dissapointed with the 'ok' night safari we returned to the room. The next day morning we were to go on a early morning forest trek. We left at 6 AM, there was too much fog, and it was damn cold. I guess I will let the pictures do the talking from here. All these pics were taken on my Nokia N70, the camera is good and doesnot let you down like other mobile phone cameras, however the zoom option is useless in the N70.
My bubbleshare account has the pics. In case the Buddle share slider doesnot fuction on your browser here is the link: http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/111290/overview
