Coorg Trip

We had booked a tour package for some 1350 for coorg-medikere-nagarhole with 1 night accomodation. Tour was from saturday morning to Sunde night.

Trip main we all following ppl were there:
-- Deepali - Make up queen.....cautious about looks and figure
-- Sonal - wohh itna sabko chalne ke liye tayyar karti hain n she takes care of things like keeping water, food, snacks etc etc
-- Trupti - waise adha time she is on fone but thankfully very pumped up to go on any trip anywhere ....anytime..always
-- Hina - Jab we met ki geet ka doosra naam... she talks endlessly.. punjabi kudi from jalandhar.. soch lo kitna chik chik. mazze dilati hain.. uski baatein totally full of fun
-- Kanika.-. kitchen ki spelling bhi nahi aati hogi.. shruti ka perfect replacement hain.. born on 16th april... n kuch bhi khana bana na nahi aata.. use sab kuch tayyar karke de do.. fir woh apna italian etc etc banyegi...

Saturday

So Saturday morning we got up, got ready n had tea n took bus to reach badami house jahan se tour ki bus thi. wahan pohoche 7.15 am par toh pata chala tour bus nahi aayi hain..
khana peena chalu kar diya with loads of fotoz .... ek baar toh hum paanch apni khud fotoz le rahe the toh ek uncle aakar bolte hain ki u guys are struggling i ll take the foto..
fir kafi itnezaar ke baad bus aayi.. trip start ho gai ...

bus main ghuste hi everyone slept..10 am we reached a dhaba on mysore highway (revived old memories jab we mys se bus main aayi thi wen zo,vikas,mahaveer, n all saath the we had food over there)
wahan Kanika got tea for free.. for all of us.. that guy didnot ask for money.. fir wapas bus main.. n we started towards coorg...

raaste mai we started playing dumb c + antaskhri n all.. slept for some time as well.. reached coorg at 1.30pm

1st Place : Buddhist Monestry.. largest in India.. thats like a small town for Tibetan ppl..clicked fotoz stopped for 20 mins n back to bus.. it was damn hot that time
then headed to a restaurant.. that village was very small so had bakwass food.. there we came to know that there is no river rafting as the water level is not gud enough :(
we headed to next stop.

2nd Place : Kauvery river fishing & boating camp : here the only thing was boating & a hanging bridge over the river..
here we got very frustrated that nothing worth while is there in the tour

3rd Place abbey Falls: then we headed towrds abbey falls.. it was like u go up in the mountains n then go down again.. kind of from one hill to another.. ek side valley doosri side trees n hills.. was not enjoying cos of heat... the bus driver stopped around 2KM from the falls n asked us to walk down n come back by auto as buses not permitted to go beyond this.. it was evening around 5..30..
me n sonal started running from here.. it was fun.. it was steep curved roads & narrow ones... down the hill so we cud easily run.. we reached there near the abbey falls n clicked fotoz.. other ppl reached.. then foto session hua.. n some coconut water ...
while going down there were some steps once u enter the area of falls... while coming up we started shoutin jai mata di jor se bolo... pyaar se bolo n all.. all ppl got so shocked some of them started also shouting.. guess everyone had the enthu... then we got into a jeep.. jeep main bhi we were shouting the same hting...

4th place : Raja's seat: here we reached in another next hour.. by the time we reached it was dark n cold... wahan bhelpuri (churmur) milta hain.. so ate that ... then cold drinks.. wahan troy train thi chotu si... but we chuck it out.. then went to raja 's hill... there was a garden on the edge of the hill... and its like highest point of coorg-medikere.. it was dark so cudnt see anything.. but thandi tahndi hawa chal rahi thi and it was like on the edge of a hill... so we stayed there for sometime.. fir nearby ek musical fountain tha.. wahan gaye.. wahan 2 gaano par dance kiya.. some kannda song n its the time to disco.. beech beech mai fountain rotate hota tha n it use to sprinkle water on us..
then wapas bus jaate hue got into a march by ISKON temple ppl.. hare rama hae krishna kiya n back to bus..

5th place : old shiva temple of 1800.. darshan kiya n then went to hotel...

hotel was quite OK ... not tht gud..w ahan ajaake sabse pehle change kiya n got camera charged.. went out for dinner.. ek mast jagah par khana khaya.. was like a dhaba...
