So if you love wildlife, if you love that soothing breeze on
your face, if you love greens around you, if you love staying on tree houses,
if you love going for random walks inside the forest, then Masinagudi is the
place! There is much to see in Masinagudi, the forest destination nearly three
hours from Ootty. Located somewhere in the borders of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu,
Masinagudi has much to offer to nature-lovers.
We traveled all the way to Ootty, made a halt there for a
day (just to indulge in the serenity and calmness that town had to offer), and
moved to Masinagudi. The place is perfect for those who need a break from the
highly bust city life. My photographer friends clicked many pictures! And the
journey to Masinagudi was bliss. With trees and animals (guiding us to Masin),
lest did we think about anything else.
We stayed in a guest house, towards the interiors of the
forest. You wouldn’t believe! There are tigers and wild elephants, deers and
boars visiting this guest house (nearly a km away as they have fenced it). We
were lucky enough to ‘trip’ on a small mountain lake that flowed nearby. The
crispy fresh waters were sprinkled on us, and it was sunset. So the beauty of
the waters merged so well with the colors of nature.
We moved more into the forest, the next day. The thick dense
dark forest reminded me of the concrete jungle where buildings replace trees,
and wild animals replace wild men and women (in the haywire for survival). We
did our forest trekking in a jeep when we went deeper into the thickness of
greens. We made barbeque once the sun went down. It was all soo much of fun!
Masinagudi is haven if you want a 3 day break from the chaos
and calumnies of daily life. The pill I would suggest to elate your mood, and
find peace!
