Trip to God's Own Country: Wayanaad, Kerala

Last weekend we visited Wayanaad in Kerala. The whole district is full of nature's beauty and there are a lot of places that will take your breath away :-) .
Nagarhole Wildlife Sanctuary. Kuruva Dweep below is a small island accessible by boats. Lots of Bamboo trees there.




Poor caterpillar pooped when the camera clicked! ;-) & Look at the Maharaj sitting on the bamboo throne! I know Dave is gonna say that ancestors ke pictures fir se kyun liya but then one gotta respect them u see :P!


Begur Wildlife Sanctuary, Wayanaad. The skeleton of a spotted deer can be seen below. Was killed by Wild Dogs. The Malabar Giant Squirrel on the branch

Bison grazing with its herd. This one lifted its head to pose for the camera ;-)

Our hotel the Tamarind Thirunelly.
Rubber sap being collected at Meenmutty.
Meenmutty Falls. Breathtaking beauty.


On the way back at Bandipur. We saw this lone elephant enjoying his evening snacks :D
Rain clouds near Mysore. It poured quite heavily. Enjoyable somewhat.
