Most of the software engineers working in Bangalore got a long holiday weekend, starting from 12th August 2006 to 15th August 2006. It was very difficult to get bus tickets or train tickets towards Kerala from Bangalore since booking was filled in advance on account of the long holiday weekend.
We (Binoy & me) decided to go by Binoy’s car. We started from Bangalore early in the morning at 5:30 am on 12th August. Till Kerala-Karnataka border the climate was little bit cloudy with slight drizzling often. We reached Mysore within two and half hours, stopped in between one or two times for having breakfast as well as for taking some snaps. We reached Gundulpettu within another one and half hour, a three way Junction – one to Mysore, one to Ooty and the other road leads to Sulthan Bathery. The two sides of the road near by Gundulpettu were in red-rose color due to the blossom of “Jamanthi” flowers. (You can see them in the pictures above and below). The top of the mountains and hills in the distance were covered with clouds and was very beautiful to see in the cloudy climate. When we reached the Kerala border it started raining heavily, and driving became uneasy. Unlike the usual trips, we were not able to see any elephants or any other animals while we traveled through the forests. We reached our home by 12:30 pm.
