On the Road to Coonoor

Well, guess I can't complete the chronicles on the road trip without experiences from the road itself, so here's the final post on the Road trip to Coonoor.

Channapatna, known for its wooden toys is the first major town we pass off from Bangalore. I remember buying one of these wooden rocking horses from here for the kids.... what with all the fancy new toys, these weren't even available in the city.


While Bangalore to Mysore has lots of towns and green on the way, Mysore to Bandipur is really barren countryside.


In Bandipur, we caught an elephant, and bonus was the baby elephant, but sadly not wild


A flash of red that looked so stunning in real, especially in that hot steaming afternoon....a grove of 'the flame of the forest'


A pretty sight somewhere along, I think this was on the way to the Isha Yoga center


Can't help but be reminded of the three wise (curious and cute) monkeys.....this was on the ghats. Diksha was actually enjoying making eye contact, and the first one does seem to be looking straight into the camera.


In Coonoor, these kids looked so focused and cute


A beautiful bamboo archway in Madumalai


Way back......diksha getting us fresh carrots and mouthwatering totapuri mango with chilli powder and salt


The last pic before we left Sans Souci,  just had to have all three of us :)


Thanks be to Diksha, and Nandi (our car) for pushing the boundaries, to make yet another super road trip !
