@ Bandipur : Part 2

In the previous post, I had written about my experiences @ Bandipur, Madumalai forest @ 2 am in the morning. I wanted to tell about how I felt to see mother nature @ its very best.

So here it goes...

Well... the best part of this whole drive was that.. throughtout the entire route amidst the forest, there was total darkness [thats why its a forest , me dumbo :@ :( ] , with vehicles on the road, here and there [infact its true that we spotted more deer, in terms of count, than vehicles; again its a forest, me dumbo :)]. Some stretch of the road, was awfully bad, potholes covered with water. But it hardly mattered, since the excitement in the air was so much, I literally forgot about the road.

I just felt like going out of the vehicle and reaching out to mother nature. Just trees, trees and more trees. Total silence, total peace. Then here and there you come across herds of deer, grazing. It was just awesome. But I was not supposed to venture out of the vehicle all alone @ 2: am in the morning.

An experience which I cannot describe with words. All these days, I used to watch Animal Planet and wonder how it feels like being in a forest . It was now that I really; really experienced it. It was exciting, thrilling and worth a million. [ Atleast worth a sleepless night, waiting, waiting and waiting to enter the forest ]

I would love to go to Bandipur, Madumalai again and again. Let me see. If possible with my office colleagues.
