Join us on the final day of our unforgettable Wayanad-Kabini trip! We kick off the day with a peaceful morning walk around the serene Serenity Resort, followed by a short but adventurous cycling ride. After a hearty breakfast, we set out for the Banasura Sagar Park, a must-visit destination known for its breathtaking views and thrilling water sports. Our speed boat ride across the vast Banasura reservoir was nothing short of exhilarating, with sharp twists and turns that left us all amazed - especially the kids!
From Banasura, we embarked on a scenic yet challenging drive to Kabini via the HD Kote route. While the roads in Kerala were smooth, the Karnataka stretch tested our patience with its rough patches. Along the way, we spotted deer, monkeys, and the beautiful forest landscape. Our next big adventure was the Kabini Jungle Safari, which took us deep into the Nagarhole National Park. Over the course of 3 hours, we spotted peacocks, deer, elephants, and even experienced the thrill of hearing alarm calls hinting at a tiger nearby - but no luck spotting one this time.
After the safari, it was time to head home. We drove through the quiet forest roads towards Mysore, navigating through narrow paths in the dark. Finding dinner was a challenge, but we finally stopped at Halli Manne, only to be let down by the food quality. After a quick meal, we hit the Mysore-Bangalore Expressway, making it back to Bangalore by midnight.
This day was filled with adventure, wildlife sightings, and reflections on a memorable three-day journey through Wayanad and Kabini.
