its a SPECIAL TRIP since we went to see the elephants from different parts of the state. Cool, its our CM JJ's order. But, i felt its worth doinggg. This is the second yr,
As usual we(anna, myself & athai, Akka was in madras, so she couldn't ) started in the morning, to mudumalai from Tirupur. yes, its his SKODA, which took us all there....
From ooty it was 37 Kms to Mudumala(via Thalaikundha & Kallatti ). But it took more than 1 hour. Near Kallatti we saw a jeep standing by its side .. its Bajaj Trax .......Thank god, it didn't slip the other side of the road, which is a big slope...
When we reached mudumalai, we were honoured by some monkeys. :) From 1 1/2 yrs old baby elephant to a old one, was just enjoying the climate. Few doctors were trying to give some medicine too.... They feed those huge animals with big balls of RICE mixture(made up of rice, sugar, etc.,) And few of them took bath in the nearby stream
We were there for two hours, we took some stills too, but I couldn't bring it back, since some problem in my bro PC's USB port.
And you know, while coming from mudumalai we saw a single elephant(not the one in the temple, real wild one)just crossing the road and was just going towards the stream, hopefully to drink water.... Its december, and still it was hot........
Try visiting http://www.kiruthik.com/pic.php?mudumalaitrip for the pics..... Hopefully it will be available soon.
