This trip was organized by company, so no need to spend anything by ourselves. So in such cases it really doesn't matter whether trip is good or bad as it's free.
Bandipur is actually in jungle. So the mail purpose of going there is to see some wild animals, do some trekking, get wild and just enjoy.
Our journey started from Bangalore on Saturday early morning, with breakfast organized in the bus. We were around 50 people with two KSRTC buses. We had breakfast in the bus, tea in Mandya, which comes before Mysore. Then we started playing Antakshari in the bus, which was good time pass. On the way our other bus had accident and it hit two village ladies. Though not very severe, they have to keep that bus there and our bus carried all the people to Bandipur. We had a cd player in the bus, but no cd.. Somebody by luck brought the Partner movie cd from that bus. So our effort for seeing that movie started. Initially that player was not detecting the cd, then somebody else tried and it started. But by our bad luck there was no sound. So we were just seeing the movie not watching it. Before reaching to our resort, one km to go, there was a big turn. To take that turn is more difficult than to give Driving Exam. So after much exercise our bus driver took it and we completed our journey. That time my mobile was showing 3 pm.
Then we had our lunch, checked in the room. Suddenly after that we had to start to Safari ride. In Safari ride they will take around 6 people in jeep to jungle. So we were around 12 people in two jeeps. After going inside the jungle border, the driver stopped and told us some things, "We will take you from some other root, which is not allowed, but we will take you on our own risk." We were happy thinking that this guy will take us in Jungle and its time to see some wild animals in jungle. So all of us were eager to see something. And we saw one wild animal called something like "bison". I don't know what it is. Then after some time we saw peacock in front of our jeep. They we find one feather on the road; I guess it was his feather. We were very happy to take it. One rabbit saw us after few distance or we saw it, whatever. I don't know whether our luck was bad or the animal's luck was good, that we couldn't see any wild animals. And this way our Safari was with ought any excitement, cool journey to see the tree, jungle etc...
Next day it was time to go for trekking, and five of us were there who couldn't go with other people. That's partly because we couldn't get up early and partly because of our luck again. So we just saw the first slot of people and guide gone in one direction, so we just proceeded in that direction. Then just thinking about which way they might have gone, we just followed one jungle way. Then after going inside we saw some elephant's footprints. Then little fear started growing inside us, as we were not sure about the root and couldn't see any human footprints. Still because of our enthusiasm we went till the dead end, after that we can see only trees, bushes and grass but no root. So we decided to come back, and try some other way like backtracking algorithm. We came back until we get some other way, and we took left and went inside by other root. There we saw around 20 dears, after seeing us they started running. Then we saw one pea-cock and one rabbit. Same things that we saw the day before. Then again we continued till the place from where there was no way, but only jungle. So we came back to our resort. After coming back we came to know that the way we went to jungle was wrong. Thanks god, we didn't see any Tiger.
And then after having breakfast around 11 am our journey back to Bangalore started. Overall I saw five animals; those are dears, rabbit, peacock, men and women. So we completed our free trip to Bandipur happily.
