Sundance!! aink!! LOL

The travel bug has bitten me hard and good!! After hibernating for around a week am back from my vacation in Bengaluroo and Coorg, am right here sitting in front of my laptop waiting to share all the hiccups and burps we shared together.
Three madcaps, a destination so divine and one aim- " to find cute guys" LOL...kidding. One aim - " to have fun to the fullest".
Bengaluroo was a pleasant experience thanks to the amazing weather which was almost as if rain and sunshine were playing some kinda peek-a-boo. After spending a day there we set out to another exotic destination- COORG! Its a small province nestled amidst vales and clouds. Surrounded by impeccable beauty, wonderful and warm people I was in total awe of the rightly called Scotland of India.
Bengaluroo came as a sure surprise to us. The way commercialization has engulfed the old 'Garden City' is something to be marvelled at and also a little deplorable. It has got many a connotations and denotations like the 'IT' Hub, educational capital and all that jazz, but it has truly stood worthy of it. After cruising around the town for a whole day, checking out cute , nerdy guys and hanging out like crazy weirdos we came home tired and sloshed out. But it surely was a great start to an amazing holiday.
Next day sharp 6 am we were heading towards the bus depot to take a bus to Medikeri also called as Mercera considered to be the capital of the province of Coorg! I have taken the liberty to call it a province because of the racial exclusivity that this part of the country enjoys. They are the decendents of the Alexander's armymen who probably might have had a sojourn while on their mission to conquer the world. Their sharp features and athletic build surely make this legend a reality.

We were welcomed in the small town by a great weather which almost felt like monsoon in the middle of a wintry month. The fog and mist played around with clouds ready to pour down on us. After checking in to a hotel we thought of exloring the town further. Medikeri is a very small town with a few places worth visiting like , " the Raja's seat, Raja's tomb, Abbey falls and a few temples which we conveniently skipped heehee. After a couple of drinks down we hit the bed instantly gearing up for the next day's journey outside Medikeri. The POA was to cover the northern Coorg which included Bhagamandala temple, Iruppu falls, Talakaveri and Nagarhole ( Rajiv Gandhi National park).
Bhagamandala situated around 30 kms from Medikeri is a quiet , little temple which houses the shrine of Shiva, Vishnu. It has a peculiar look with snake faced curves made all around the rooftop. The next stop was Talakaveri, the origin of river Kaveri. The breathtaking view from the point near the pond was heavenly. We were almost amidst the clouds. After this we proceeded towards Iruppu falls situated around a Km in the woods. The last stop was the Nagarhole national park known for its deer population and a few elephants. Most of us thought it was a waste of time and a total rip off!!! After an eventful day we had no strength left , not even for a drink!
The next day was spent peacefully and we started our journey back to Bengaluru. Thus ended our little vacation, away from the maddening crowd and unwanted stress. It was a great relief after the hectic examinations. Lets hope the next destination is as enchanting and as exotic as this!!!
cheers
