Our trip in Detail:
I left my house at Marathahalli arround 7:30AM in my Scooty Pep. I joined Anshu and Sachin at Silk Board junction (BTM Layout) who where waiting for me with Sachin's bike. We travelled 20 km we came to a li'l busy junction to see the road dividing to three different distinations. The right most road had a big arch WELCOME TO BANNERGHATTA ZIOLOGICAL PARK and a big board showing the same. Confident enough that we where are on the right path we took the right most turning and travelled arround 2.5 km to find nothing. luckly we saw one humanbeing walking. With our knowledge of kanada we figured out the Arch and the Board are leading us to the wrong direction. What a fantastic way to welcome!!!!! Long live the authorities.
We then came back to the same junction and took the middle road and then a immediate left and travelled arroung 1.5 km. vyolla the park was there. we where li'l early and at that time not much of crowd. We paid Rs.110 apiece for a grand safari which includes lion, tiger and bear safari.
The bus leaves only at 10:30AM for safari and we had some time. In the mean time we started exploring the base camp(zoo?) where some of the unprevilaged animals, birds and reptails are caged. It was the first place where I saw white peacokes. A real thanks to intel for keeping the zoo clean, free... well almost free from plastics and polythens.
We got into one of the grand safari buses that starts from 10:30 AM onwards. The buses where realy cramped. Two people are asked to squese into the seats that can accomodate only one person. I pitty the forigeners. (yet to complete documenting).
