Trip to badhra forest:

I consider this the trip badhra forest as a very special one indeed bcos of the following reasons:-
1. It was my first trek.
2. My first trip with a new set of friends.
3. My first journey into a forest.
It was a Saturday morning we reached the forest gates where we got a guide. No one really expected the news that all the jeeps ie the safaris was not in a good condition and we have to trek into the the forest!!!! We were all excited and deep inside my heart was a fear(a terror felling). Finally we entered the forest this is how it looked like:-



The above pic is the path in which we trekked 28 kms up n down. On the way to the forest we visited the badhra backwaters, the guide happily said that this waters were infested with crocs!!!!! So we put off an escape n entered the core area of the forest. After trekking some 10 meters into the core area there came a sound “Growl!!!” it was a tiger n I could hear my heart beat!!!! It was a great experience, with a trembling voice I asked the guide where is the tiger he coolly replied that its hiding somewhere near the bush n he asked us to continue!!!!! Finally we reached sukalati a place 14 kms into the forest it was a sexy place. A house surrounded by dense forest and fresh air without any pollution. Here is a pic of sukalati :-


On Sunday morning we started our trek back, this time it was more thrilling almost a kilometer of our path contained fresh tiger footprints here is one pic of the footprint:-


There was some deer footprints near the tiger’s footprints guess there was a big chase… Finally when the trek was completed we were completely exhausted, but that didn’t stop us we went to the forest lodge for some water sports here’s a pic of the water sports:-

After having a nice time at the back waters we went back to shimoga n reached Bangalore on Monday morning.
