This has to be the best start of the new year i have ever had!! After almost three horrifing years,finally things have started to look bright and less twisted! Argh! This is just more than wonderfull!! What can be better than starting a new life with an amazing get-away from the monotonous life?! The trip was much more fun than i expected it to be and the weather too decided to add up to my happiness!
Coorg was breath taking(and not to forget all the other places we visited)!
The birth place of river Kaveri (Talakaveri) was our first destination. Honestly,i'm not quite religious myself but the whole atmosphere and the people there got to me made me feel that the river is something we got to worship. Sounds kind of stupid,i know. You'll know what i'm talking about if you've been there. It is THE RIVER! Our lifeline. The soul of our existance! Sure worth all the worship eh?
Then came the climb up to the spot from the temple where apparently three holy men had meditated. Man! The view from the top was so totally worth all the climbing up(which,mind you, was'nt easy. There were around a thousand,steep steps to climb and it was was not tough to give up half way)! I managed to make it to the top. Yaay me! (i secretly then dropped my hopes of wanting to climb Mount Everest then). The weather was beautiful!! Cold and freezing with a hint of sunlight!
Then came the Abbi waterfall,the next day. Wish i could stay at that place for good! The hanging bridge was not all that wobbly though. Piss off!
Water rafting at Dubara Forest-went rafting for almost two hours and made new friends in the process! It always feels good to meet new people. I din't like the whole concept of the Elephant ride though. Poor elephants! Why cant they live in peace instead of being made to carry lame,insensitive people around? Get a life people!!
The deer park at Nisargadhama was ok. I expected the deer to be shy creatures. Apparently not. Again,they had the elephant rides. Idiots. Oh! And the swings were super cool! They were hung on tree branches and there were awesome tree houses atop the numerous bamboo trees!! I've never wanted to own a tree house this badly. They made me go speechless.
The Tibetian Golden Temple on our way back made me feel like i'm in Tibet itself(guess that was the idea)! They had their own colony there,complete with a school,orphanage, shopping mall,restaurants and what not! Oh and how can i forget the super friendly people!! Made me feel so at home. The way they guide you and wave at you if they see you again and their friendly smile.. Like you've known then for ages!
I can go on and on and on about it and never get tired! Oh my God! The best time i've had in YEARS!! True,the long drive and sitting in the car for hours together made me feel sick but whatever! What a lovely new year vacation!! Made me get into the whole spirit of New Year! Yaay!
