Trekking

We had a long weekend trip to Nagarhole, where we had a safari (truck) arranged by the forest department. The trip started at 7 in the morning, and we were very much zealous in watching the animals. The journey continuous through the thick forest area (Do believe me , we couldn't see the sun). During this journey we saw deers, elephants, bisons. Unfortunately, couldn't see any tigers.

We had a very pleasant stay in a resort which itself hidden in a vast coffee estate. The place was very near to Iruppu falls (1 km). The second day we went for a trek at Brahmagiri hills and since it rained the previous day, we were much threatened by the gigantic blood suckers(leech). The 12 km trek was good and we conducted some blood donation camp(thanx to leeches). While returning we had bath in Iruppu falls(alias Lakshman theertha).

Thanks to the resort owners, who provided a very good hospitality and great food.

Aero Show 2005

Aero show 2005 (9th-13th Feb, 2005 @ B'lore) was really a good show but was little disappointing with not much manoeuvre with Sukoi-30. Advanced Light Helicopters (Dhuruv) , the home-grown and the Sea Harrier were really amazing and crowd pulling. Surya Kiran with their usual and combined aerobatics attracted the crowd.
