Bandipur National Park and Tiger Reserve

Waynad to MysoreMorning we had breakfast at zostel, had clicked some photos.Drove Car to mysore via Bandipur Tiger reserves.

We stayed at bandipur and early morning jeep safari was memorable. We are lucky to spot lepord during the safari and after safari headed back to banglore.

It's still dark outside we are waiting in the lobby of our hotel fully prepared for our next journey to Ooty. We have booked a car for the trip but unluckily get cancelled so we had to arrange a new one a 13 sitter force traveler. Which schedule to pick us up at 5 am but here we are waiting and waiting in the lobby no sign of it. The owner of the car told us that we have to start early then only we are able to see the wild elephant crossing the road and we don't want to miss that. The time was running out and we are getting out of patience when at 6.30 am the car reached at our hotel. A thin dark man with mustache like that of Birappan came to greet us. We are in a hurry I think the elephant card is not in our table now. At about 9.15 am we reach the first check point of Bandipur tiger reserve which is very famous for its cheetahs. We started to spot various birds , group of monkeys , herd of deer from our car windows.

Ooty trip beginsThere were two routes to reach Ooty from Mysuru. We chose the route that goes through Bandipur Wildlife Sanctuary. We encountered some Elephants, Deer, Monkeys etc on our way.
