An outing to Banneraghatta National park

               Our End term exams started in the end of August and continued till first week of this month.After the exams,our classes started with new trimester and new subjects. We started planning for an outing on the following weekend.I searched for tourist places around Bangalore on Google. After some discussions, we decided to visit Banneraghatta National park which is about 22km on south from the city.

                 We started at 8.30am in the morning and reached the place by 9.30 am.We stopped at tree corner small tiffin stall, which has got the authenticity of being in a village & had a simple breakfast.On reaching the destination, we went to the ticket counter. There we saw tickets for Safari,Zoo park and Butterfly gardens. We bought the safari and zoo park picket.

                   I didn't have any expectation to see most of the wildlife during safari. But I spotted so many animals like deers, Lions,Tigers,Bears etc., It was very exciting to see wild creatures crossing the road very close to the vehicle.I was able to capture pics of all the species on our journey...



                  I saw two lions playing joyfully deep in the green grass.Its the most amazing sight I ever experienced in my life.I spotted a lion roaring and ready to attack.I felt that I was on a shoot for National Geographic channel.I would like to upload some pics here...



             This park has good tiger reserve.There are about 40 tigers in the safari area. There are varieties of tigers like White tigers and Bengal Tigers.I am uploading pics of 3 tigers taking a morning walk....



                After an hour of safari ride, we then went to butterfly garden and zoo park.After a long walk,we returned back at 4pm in the evening. On our way to city, stopped at a kebab corner and had delicious chicken kebabs and reached hostel by 5.30pm.....
