Our journey started at June 19, 2015 by Kozhikode express. My wife came along with me to Central railway station for send-off. This time its just we 6, me(Karuna), Gopi, Aji, GS, Praveen & Sandeep travelling to the beautiful Wayanad. This is the first trip with just the boys of Massgang going for an outing. That night travel was awesome as Gopi was sharing his Kuwait work experiences as well as his lifestyle changes.
Next day morning we reached around 8 am at Kozhikode railway station. Then we were taken in cab to Wayanad. Our today's schedule was supposed to cover BanaSura Sagar Dam which is actually the second largest dam in Asia and largest dam in India.
On Arriving at the Hotel :
We were welcomed at the Hotel lobby with a Welcome drink. We had 3 DSLRs this time. We took some pics at the lobby and went to the rooms to refresh. Our first plan is to go to the dam but after we saw the natural pond(man made pond but rain is responsible for filling it), we couldnt move a bit without playing in the pond. We played for some one to two hours and took bath & started to the dam.
Travel to BanaSura Sagar Dam :
This is said to be the second largest dam in Asia and though the dam was not of much fun to us, the walk to the dam is a memorable experience. Heavy winds, lots of photographs, sudden drizzles & usual boys fun made this walk a unforgettable one. Any point of time we 6 are questioned about this walk, we would be able to tel about it. This covered most of our day and we travelled back to our rooms.
2nd Day Travel:
First day we din cover much of the places. Our second day's plan is to visit Wildlife sanctuary, edakkal caves and any other destination if we still have time for the train.
Travel to Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary:
This is one of the unforgettable experience I should say. The trip should actually be an 90min ride in the jeep. But it lasted only for half hour for us. That is because of the surprising event that happened the tenth minute we rode on the jeep. We saw a gumbal of elephants on our way and this jeep driver, he threatened the hell out of us. He said we cannot proceed further and in addition if the elephant comes chasing us, each one's life is in their own hands. Waaah !!! Sandeep moonji paakanume.. Thrilling moments.. He reversed the jeep towards the elephants so that if they start chasing, we can accelerate immediately and drive away from them. We then returned back to the entrance after some gud pics and headed towards edakkal caves. We bought some oil and honey from the shops outside the sanctuary.
Travel to Edakkal Caves:
A steep path towards the cave and it was a good travel indeed. We had a concern for missing a trek but this particular cave walk satisfied that. Took some good number of pics here. We asked a guide there for any other places to visit before we head to the railway station and pookot lake was one place which he suggested.
Travel to Pookot Lake:
This is another place where we got completely drenched in rain. Boating wasn't allowed by the time we went. We just had a walk as the area surrounding the lake was a long track. There was one mokka aquarium which we went. Following that, we went for the walk around the lake and suddenly it rained heavily and we gave all our DSLRs and mobiles to aji as he was wearing that 20Rs rain coat which we bought at Edakkal caves. But only that cover saved our properties worth 2.5Lakhs. All of us except superhero aji got completely drenched and we headed to the car.
We then travelled to the railway station before which we bought sweets & savouries for our family and colleagues.
Boys trip is always fun.
