It started on Saturday , 26th of January , My family was bored at the weekend and planned a surprise trip to Bandipur forest , Karnataka . We booked a lovely nature resort called The Windflower , online at this website called makemytrip.com. We got in our car and set off for our holiday adventure . We had breakfast on the way as we woke up a bit early for our trip . We reached the hotel at 1pm .
Our room was : Room no : 6 . It was very comfy and beautiful room to stay . We had lunch a little while later after taking rest . We had food in the Restaurant there , where there was a buffet of yummy and scrumptious food . After some time , we changed into swim wear and had fun swimming in the pool . The pool was called an infinity pool because of it's size . We changed into our normal clothes after swimming , and went for a walk to a tribal village . Our guide was a Malayalee like us . His name was Rajesh . We walked with another family , who doesn't speak Malayalam but Hindi with us . They brought two girls with them . The younger one was so funny .
The tribal village is not actually a tribal village we expected . They were a modern tribal village as
it looked like they were built small houses and water tankers like an entire colony . Rajesh told us that the politicians are supplying money and housing , just for their votes . And for education ,
their children in the village, even though they fail, they still get good jobs and graduate well .
Some people use money for unnecessary needs and destroyed their forest area , given to them by their forefathers . There was a fruit which they use as an instrument , as it makes a good sound .
You can take it for yourself if you want . They have a community centre for the village , for discussions and whatnot . They farm in the lands given to them by the government , and they get the materials you need for farming from the government all for votes . We entered a small forest area in which we found : a place where tigers come to give birth and a Dirty Water Treatment Plant , and a shortcut back to the resort . { NOTE: there is free wifi at your room and there is a spa and indoor games room . }Early morning the next day, We went for the jungle safari. We started in a small car to the Safari bus stop and got in the bus with other either from the resort or the locals who opted for it .
We have seen elephants, leopards, peacocks, deer , etc. We have even spotted some professional photographers in a van taking photos too. It took a lot of time but it was exciting. After we came back to the bus stop, we got in the small vehicle and went back to the resort. We took a bath , got into some fresh clothes and set off for breakfast. { Try the kababs, milkshakes, donuts, etc} After that, we left for home, and reached there in the evening. Just after some time, my friends Sid and Vatsi { short for Srivathsan} came and we played a bit badminton and talked about Pokemon for a bit
[yeah, we used to play Pokemon trading cards. }
Anyway, that's the end of another adventure. I'll see you guys later.
PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
