Dandeli



A small beautiful city and a perfect destination for a pleasure holiday. My wife and I were all set to explore this new adventurous city and this was made possible by Travelife. Travelife took care of everything accommodation, sightseeing, adventurous activities, pick up, drop everything. And believe me every moment spent there was priceless.

Our stay in Kali Adventure Camp was surrounded with cozy rooms and tented cottages. It is ultimate destination for true lovers of Wilderness. The range of outbound activities offered at the camp includes jungle safaris, coracle rides, bird watching, walks and visits to primitive caves and viewpoints.

We left in our jeeps around 8 in the morning after sipping hot cup coffee, feeling cool breeze no trace of hot sunrays. The jeeps dropped us at a certain point as we had to start walking and this walking took almost forever. After all the walking and climbing few stairs down we reached a small cave, inside this cave was a tiny Linga. Visiting the cave in and out we started our way to kali river, all plans set for swimming. Munched hot idlis and vadas served just by the side of the river and jumped into the river. enjoyed being in water for an hour and then we moved towards the point where the jeep had dropped us. Reached the point and in an hour we were in the resort got ready and finished a heavy and completely authentic style lunch. Must say that Karnataka Cuisine has a long list of delicious dishes.

Late in the evening we had to go for a jungle walk/night walk as per the schedule organized by Travelife. A guide was with us it was pitch dark and we were walking one behind the other, this did remind us of our school days following our teacher. We were strictly instructed to remain as quiet as possible so that we don’t disturb the wild. We sat there for a while heard the sounds of crickets, other insects and a few birds. This turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life.
Satisfied with the adventure of entire day we ended resting into a cozy cottage at the resort.

Enjoying every moment in Dandeli is the best of all experiences. Call 9611196123 or request a call back.

Bannerghatta National Park



This is one man made park situated nearly 20kms from Bangalore. We started early to avoid all the rush, we were 6 of us and were sleepy since the sun had just started to show up a little. Reaching the National park took almost 90 minutes. We got down the vehicle and bought 6 tickets to enter the national park.

In spite of us reaching early we had to wait in the queue and when our turn came we all moved to a caged vehicle. They took us to enclosed spaces, different animals were in different spaces. Vehicles passed very close to the animals and these animals were fed their natural diet. At the first we spotted few animals like spotted deer, sambar deer, bison. In the latter space only 2 bears were rested, and the next enclosed space consisted of tigers. This was one breath taking moment for all of us. Lions and Tigers is one of the major tourist attractions which are being conducted by the forest department. We also encountered the elephants migrating between eastern and western ghats reside in this park so its more like a refuge for the elephants. Wildlife safari gave us an opportunity to study about the natural habitat and the study of behavior of various animals. Time went by and our Safari came to an end and we were given a Lunch break.

After having a stomach full lunch we all were set to explore the rest of the park. This included Crocodile Farm, Zoological Garden, Butterfly Park and Snake Park. Walking past through the zoological garden the dense deep forest covered by tall trees was really a great experience. Butterfly park was mind boggling moment, the variety of colorful butterflies was an experience in itself. The uniqueness of some rare butterflies in this park is worth watching.

Well this gave an end to our one day outing organized by Travelife. They made it a wonderful experience for us, everything was strategized and executed at the best. I would suggest you to visit this place with Travelife.

Visiting Bannerghatta man made park could be an experience for lifetime. call on 9611196123 or request a call back.
