Trek-Safari in Masinagudi
On a Saturday morning, I wish, I could use the word ‘bright’, but we started in the dim-lit morning at about 5 am, for Masinagudi, so as to not waste our day. We were about ten friends and were quite perplexed as, what to expect. Everyone had heard the name Bandipur but no one knew about Masinagudi, except for a friend, at home, who suggested the place. Masinagudi is a beautiful place in the foothills of Nilgiris. The place is lush green, peaceful and adventurous at the same time with a lot of trekking, hiking and safari options available for all. After a picturesque drive of about 250kms from Bangalore we reached Masinagudi in about 5 hours.
The way to Masinagudi is another experience in itself. We went through the Bandipur wildlife sanctuary. It is also called Madumalai Wildlife Sanctuary (the name changes when you cross into Tamil Nadu). Masinagudi is on the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border. Nature has lavishly bestowed this sanctuary with flora and fauna. This is the habitat for varied species. There is a wide road that took us from the sanctuary to our Masinagudi resort. We went slowly to take in the view of the animals up close, and not to scare or anger them. We could see the deer, horses and peacocks, here and there and could even spot a few elephants.
Safari Land Resort is an eco friendly resort in the heart of Bandipur sanctuary, on the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border. The resort takes up safaris twice a day. It is one of the best activities to get involved in. One is at 4 am, where they take you in jeeps and you have more chances of getting an eyeful of tigers or elephants and other wildlife. We took the evening tour. Not because we preferred but because we could not get up at 4, in the morning. But nevertheless, it was a trek-safari, if I may name it so. One of the resort employees took us into the forest for a trek, moving through streams, climbing hills and moving through uneven track. Every step took us closer to the flora and wildlife. The beauty of the Blue Mountains was spell binding. We could hear the elephants at a close distance and were asked to take shelter and not make noise. We caught glimpses of many animals, from deer, wild dogs, wild boar to various birds like kingfisher, Malabar squirrel and even a huge ant hill.
The resort offers two kind of accommodations, a normal luxury room and a tree house or machaan kind of a suite. We chose the latter, for the sheer experience of it, and whoa, what an experience. A tall tree house, a hammock below it and a stream running beside it, was how our room was. The resort also offers games, such as table tennis, badminton, chess, carom, mini-bowling etc. In the night, they organize a bon fire, where snacks and drinks are served. Later there is a dinner buffet. The night was very rainy and chilly. Waking up with the chirping had been my dream. No construction thumping, no car horns and no door bells. Then a friend shouted, as a rabbit ran under our tree house followed by deer running by. Sometime later we also caught horses drinking water from the stream.
There cannot be any place closer to nature. But do check the weather conditions, too rainy and too hot, makes the animals also uncomfortable and your safari would be futile; and pack some warm quilts, just in case.
