The plan for the long weekend started with a trip to Ooty. But when people started to withdraw from the availability, the group reduces to 2 persons (Raja(Oracle Colleague) and myself). Since we made up our mind for a trip, we desperately wanted to go and finally decided on Bannerghatta Park . We decided to go on Friday, 25th March.
We started at 9:50 am after a heavy breakfast and it took nearly 30 mins to reach Bannerghatta. The road to BBP(Bannerghatta Biological park-renamed recently) was really amazing and I heard that Nasa people has conducted the testing for the landing of Pathfinder in this road. Really a good choice. But one thing, while riding in that road please do enjoy the ride and don't ever talk to ur pillion rider.. otherwise you will end up in eating sands and stones.
We reached there by 10:25 am and luckily we got into the grand safari(combination of lion&tiger safari, deer safari and bear safari) bus within 10 mins since it wasn't much crowded. The trip started by 10:35. The safari was good and the only difference between zoo and this park is, in zoo you have animals in the cage and here it's you who will be in the caged vehicle and animals are free to roam in a restricted area.
The place was really dry and we were wondering how animals like deer survive. We saw Lion, lioness, tiger, bear, spotted dear, samba deer, bisons and the famous white tiger and all the animals were really fed up in the hot and always keen to be in a shelter except the bear which was courageous enough to come close to our vehicle to see us.
The safari went for an hour and we packed up to Bangalore and reached by 2:00 pm. A nice place for a day picnic.
