This is very close to Bangalore.The Camp is covered with trees lining both sides of the river. This is indeed a rough country.An absolute place to be away from the maddening crowd.
This trip was organized by our company. And this was the first trip that I've attended with my team.
We started off at 7:30am and reached Galibore at around 1 o clock in the noon.We had to stop in between as we had to pick up all of them.
Almost 9kms away from the camp is the Entrance,where you have to pay them the Entrance fee to the Forest.
Then we decided to walk 5km till the camp along the river side to get the feel of this superbly rustic paradise..This was really tiring ... Finally we ended up reaching the camp.
This camp was really awesome. We had booked all the tents in the camp.
The Accommodation in Galibore is spartan but well-equipped. Simple twin-bedded cottages with attached baths.
There was a hurricane lamp at the front of the tent and the back of the tent, which were set at around 7 PM. There was an electric fan provided in the tent (no light though)
The tent itself was clean with nice beds and good towels. The bathroom was also clean. Was I not surprised !?
The environment was very conducive to inducing a calmness in one’s thoughts.
It's a beautiful place to do nothing.Just laze around and read a book on the hammock !
As soon as we entered one thing that interested me was the swing,i just ran towards that to swing on it.But unfortunately sprained my leg :(
To once notice,there is no mobile coverage.And the whole camp operates with just single telephone line.
All of us choose our tents and went to freshen up and later all of us gathered at Vinod's[Bossy boss :)] tent.
Later we made Rag's to get on to the swing and gave him proper birthday bumps by throwing football...See the pic [:)]
After few minutes Gibu[Junglee friend :o) of mine] entered and he didn't realize what exactly had happened to Rag's. he he he
What we did was ,we made Gibu get on the swing and later,my god!!! people gave him left & rite man!!! He just became a "Bakra"... It was great fun :).Thanks Gibu,for giving us an opportunity.
By around 2 o clock lunch was arranged for us.And food was really good.. And i actually liked the Jungle Lodges hospitality towards their customers.
After a heavy lunch,we just sat near the river listening to the rhythmic flow of water in the river and chirping of birds..
And we were strictly instructed by the officials not to get into the water as Crocodiles were wild and they would come anytime.. Initially these crocs used to feed on fishes,but recently they started eating Deer's which come the river bed.So it was risky to get into the water
In the evening at 5 we went for a coracle ride.It was a superb experience!! As i've never gone in a coracle in my life time :)
We went on the other side of the river and lazed around for a while. And later saw Smitha fishing, so even i wanted to.
So i asked the official who drove us on the coracle to help me out to get at least one fish.My bad luck,i couldn't catch a single fish there.And later whoever joined me caught at le
ast one fish.After fishing,we drove almost 5 kms on the coracle,meanwhile we spotter 2 deers :) and Great Indian Guar. The nature by itself looks awesome.And it started drizzling.. It was something like i was in a dream world..
Later in the evening we had Bonfire and Barbecues arranged for us.They had prepared some chilly bajjies,pea nut masala & chicken kababs.. :)
All guys were busy pouring Bear,Rum,whisky into thier glasses.Meanwhile Vinod was explaining me & Minu how to play "teen pathi"..
Vijeth and Sanjib were entertaining all us with some strange songs and dance.. Two gays :) che che (Vinod was calling them as gays ;) )....
After the Bonfire we had our dinner,by then Minu was not feeling well.. She was literally shivering.. She just wanted to go to bed. :(
After dinner all of them went near Vinod's tent to play "theen pathi".But me and Minu stayed back in our tent.I didnt want to leave her alone in that condition.Later we went off to sleep.. But heard that people had great fun playing "theen pathi".Many loosing their money,and some enjoying looking at them... :)
