Wayanad Forest

A simple sight of how breathtaking forests can be!

Wayanad Forest Stream

Standing up on the entrance to the tree house, I was already a little high. Looking down, I saw the stream running below just by the lush green grass.

Camp Fire

The the sun had set, the air was cold and the mood was just right. All we needed was some fire to get things going!

Wayanad Forest Stream

Venturing into the forest for about 15 minutes, we found this stream, where we had whale of a time.

I was thrilled when I saw so much flowing water. My first ever opportunity to try out some aperture tricks.

The NH 212 runs in the middle of the Wayanad forest. It is such a beautiful experience driving though it. Its also quite tempting to park the vehicle and walk down a little. And when you do such things, this is what you see!

Tree House Entrance

A tree house is normally 100-150 feet high. This picture shows the entrance to one such. Walking down this path leads one to a manually operated lift that can be levitated in the air using a pulley mechanism.

Forest Resort

5 rooms deep inside the jungle with all basic facilities, but no electricity. Generators helped a few hours in the dark, but it was lanterns beyond that. Was fun staying in the wild!

Early morning, in the Wayanad forest, as the sun started penetrating though the trees.

Spring

With summer around the corner, we spotted these flowers in the hills of Yelagiri. The tree stood out that we could spot it from miles away!

Gingee Fort - Archery - Landscape

A beautiful location called Gingee. Filled with forts and temples with significant historical value. The picture shows a small hill by the Archery.

Monkey Kingdom

On top of a small hill in Gingee were a few monkeys. We thought they never meant any harm and got ourselves something to eat. That's when we realized we had infiltrated the Monkey Kingom. We were approached by the creatures from all sides and ransacked of all our food.

Beat the heat

Nothing like tender coconut to beat the summer heat! I clicked this picture as I waited for my fellow riders to arrive.

Countryside - Jagalamparai Falls

To reach Jagalamparai Falls, one has to drive through 14 kms of countryside land. It would be a fantastic experience riding though such scenery, kids playing around and bullock carts on the way.

Water Hole

Having trekked for about half an hour through the woods of Yelagiri, we found this water hole. It was just the trees, the little bit of water, the wind as us.

Wind

This was once a tsunami hit region, people evacuated, leaving just their broken homes behind. This was one of the best hangouts for us, and on that windy day I managed to click this.

Fresh leaves

I always wondered when I looked at the advertisements that had those natural looking colors. When I walked out and shot a couple of HDRs with leaves, I found one way of doing so.

Mystic waves

Ajanta beach, good privacy, unlimited fun. The shot of the inviting waters, just before someone stepped in.
