BANDIPUR & MASINGUDI -TRAVEL DIARY

It’s difficult to write a travel experience as I have never acknowledged my feeling of travel memoirs anywhere. However I do feel it’s time I write a few about the places I go on vacations as a matter of rule, henceforth.

Recently I was with family to Bandipur and Masingudi. A jungle experience was not the first time in my life as I have been to Sunderbans, but Masingudi particularly the resort where we stayed gave a glimpse of basic living with animals like herds of deers and sheep.

A complete cut off was not possible yet my stay at Masingudi was better than the government run Jungle Lodges at Bandipur. We did take the Safari and enjoyed it though we hardly spotted any animal but things like a true jungle experience at Bandipur was completely missing and that’s what we were looking for at Bandipur.

A movie that the resort officials screened on tigers to be saved made me a bit more sensitive towards animals.

Yet it was the nature walk that I took with a guide and Evelyn a resident of Germany made me feel the jungle experience was truly enriched. I will try to post a few pictures of this trip –being with nature was exotic, eventful though I am not sure I can live in a jungle for over three days. The guide who took us for a nature walk made me feel animals have their own world and we do not have any right to intervene. As the line in the movie at Bandipur depicted even tourism is not really welcome at jungles.

Will probably write more detailed ones of travelogues next time though I do not want to pen down the itenary followed during my holidays.

Lastly make sure to stay at a known jungle resort (do enough research on what they provide and yes do not be taken by fancy names)  at least once in your life. It makes your feel closer to mother earth.
