Travel Loving

Earth has so much beauty in it.  A lifetime would never suffice even to learn its beauty.


Nature is one of the best things everyone could cherish. Nature was at its best, when we visited Coorg.  Such a good place it is but hardly maintained. It needs much maintenance.


Yes. Coming to the Tour – We visited Raja’s seat , Fort , Abbi falls and Omkareshwar temple on the first day. It was 2 days trip, which is less to cover places in and around Madikeri.  Though nature was fully at its best, I could not enjoy much because the maintenance was not up to mark. Recently Madikeri has faced heavy rainfall and that can also be the reason for lack in maintenance. We were even dismayed when we heard that there was no entry for bathing in Abbi falls. But however the places may be and wherever you are... being with friends compensates everything. We were too excited at our get together. We played cards and happily ended that day.

Next Day we went to Dubare forest . It has boating , river rafting and elephant camp in it. We went through boat to visit the elephant camp. Saw many elephants of various sizes.  We came to know the names of 2 little elephants. We ourselves named many. Elephant bathing was allowed on payment of Rs.100. Few families were bathing the elephant. We loved the way the elephants playing with kids there.

Then we got ready for rafting. We were given Life vests and helmets which made us feel like soldiers ready to fly. In the beginning many were scared. But the Experts who joined us Mr. Anu & Manish ensured us that the experience would be safe filled with fun and adventure. We divided into  group of 5 & 6 and started with Rafting. In the beginning the water was stand still where we had to row. Instruction was given by the experts “ Forward” , “ Backward” “fast” & “stop” which still i am hearing  as I type this post.

The expert were conversing well  and as they ensured , the experience was adventurous. People who had feared earlier became wild with water and played well with its flow. We enjoyed a lot. We worked as a team and enjoyed the team work. We spent almost 2.5 hrs to cover 7 kilometers which was very much time than the average. We paid Rs.600 each and definitely felt worth after the experience.Rafting was the momentous experience. Had I gone alone or even with family, I do not know whether I would have opted for rafting. But being with like minded people (i.e. Friends) made me to do it. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Later that afternoon we went to Tibetan Monastery which is must visit place. We could not visit Thalakaveri and bhagmandala. But our river rafting experiences with such amazing Experts never made us regret for it.

I have always thought that,
 
Adventures have to be a part of life.
Life is to be cherished.   
Routines needs some break.
Nature strengthens your mind.
Finally, World is all yours. You deserve to taste the beauty of each part of it.

So, Create a chance and explore places. Stay Green!!
