A trip idealized on account of arrival of our dear friend Teju from UK after a year. Trip planned to kick start on a weekend – 11^th July 2008…A unusual bunch of 10 peepals were to hit the trip...this time. It was a bad day in Bangalore as bunch of goose heads fighiting on comunal fire few places were in curfew. Fortunately all of them made it to join... and as usual unplanned and untimed start...

Gang of mixed peepal a bunch of Gubbal.com gang– few for trek and few not and few for 1day and few for 2days…includes "the cause of all action - Teju(UK returned)", Kulla Teju(“BEDA”), Ganesh(CA), Santhu, Srini(Macro Man – dont ask him its meaning), Adithya(item of trip – no offence dude), Madhu(Taarzan), Jaggu and Mahesh(myself).

At around 2230hrs we hit silent nice n dark Mysore road…watching the Kannada movie – “Nannu mathe ninna Hendathi” or whose ever – courtesy Ganesha movie…Had gala time in the Kamat Lokaruchi having the Sugarcane juice…on the way...Teju forcing myself and ganesh to watch the movie and had a fear that driver will fall into sleep and was accompanying him...thinking myself and ganesha are giving company.

Late night around 0300hrs we hit a dilemma on the road which way to go…Teju who was claiming to be not sleeping reads a board and takes right which doesn’t seem to be a road…now you know why…The driver takes the call as to we stay there till day light and take a nice nap…and peepals were in-form snoring out the animals out of Jungle.

This how it looked like in the morning...

We headed to Nagarahole in the morning around 6AM and came across deer’s jumping around on the way and staring at us back while they were getting captured in out cameras…On the silent and peaceful way in the jungle we came across a bunch of Bison but afar. Damn the lousy forest guys didn’t take us for a safari ride giving some stupid reason…We were still not clear on the places to visit checked out the map put-up there giving places and distance...so conclusion was to move to Irupu-Falls.

The Irupu falls was a pleasure for eyes and body and most of them were new to the place…Had nice bath in the roaring falls having nice massage for the body and jaggu and madhu were even dis-oriented sitting under the falls…madhu did even fall as santhu disturbed his orientation on the rocks of the falls. We were finding difficulty as people around started increasing and disturbing out peaceful mass/community bath…Adithya was the first to get into groove of passive modeling under the falls giving opportunity for camera to capture the secret talents…

MISSING Adithya modelling for Matrimonial photo - SOLDOUT

Adithya you have a nice Matrimonial photo have fun. Later had a nice coffee and tea near the falls enjoying drizzle and green mountains around and succulent paddy fields picturing peaceful atmosphere.

Near Irupu falls the kind of butterflies found suppose to be found only in Irupu in the world...

Now the team again faces an issue of no road-map to be in-fact clear guys were confused about visiting with places around corners in Karnataka and ppl mind…the driver was going crazy for the names of the places shot by ppl. At-last we decided that we are going to Balmoori and Rangantittu on the way and back home.

Balmoori a full relaxation and photography delight place. Peepals rushed to water which was looking ferocious and danger as for our fortune Dam had released more water. Adithya and Ganesha again getting clubbed here in the place coming closer to each-other emotionally crossing the ferocious balmoori river as odd couple…Rest had a gala time in water enjoying the force of the water fall.

Got the ppl rushed into the TT as it was getting late for the Rangantittu ppl had almost lost hope on reaching there in-time. Driver made it in-time as we hit last boat-trip in rangantittu and place was awesome filled with birds and crocodiles. As it was evening sunset time the birds were at a hurry to rush to there home giving an extravaganza to photographers. The Gubbal.com – Ganesha had missed out his camcorder in the place most required. Myself, Teju and Srini were shooting at the birds capturing all there activities getting tested for our photography skills. Well got quiet a few photos of the birds and the ever eye-catching and silent as death the crocodiles giving there pose on the rocks. Birds flying all over the sky during the sunset and glooming with hues reflected on them…unfortunately couldn’t get their silhouette snaps…catch the action on www.picasaweb.google.com/machonirvana

Had few group snaps and moved on to the dinner by then almost all were lying out-dead in the TT watching the “Harate” a famous program on the TV which is about two teams arguing on a choosen topic…

Dinner time’ had an unusual one not much snatching and eating not much of “survival the fittest” schema…slowly heats up ppl start snatching and Kulla Teju the usual “Manager more the damager” started guarding the food ending up total loss to all…Had a nice mixture of veggie and non-veggie ppl and veggie as usual getting looted by non-veggies. Had nice food in total in the road side daaba on Mysore road…and all peepals – gubbal.coms’ headed towards Bangalore and silently getting dropped one-by-one…getting to sleep…and usual routine…Well thanks to TEJU and all peepals have fun.
