Masinagudi has treats to delight all kind of tourists. It is located in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, and is one of the five ranges in Mudumalai National Park. If you long for the adventure of wildlife safaris and love being surrounded by the wild, Masinagudi is the ultimate destination. Wildlife spaces like Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Bandipur National Park and Theppakadu Elephant Camp make it a wildlife hotspot.
We had been to Masinagudi in Aug 2018. Thought to stay for few days but unfortunately due to strike we could stay only for a day. But that was very beautiful day we spent in a resort. A quiet place surrounded with mountain and clouds, a rainbow in the morning. A memorable day well spent. Would someday go back there to fully enjoy the beauty of the nature again.
We had been to this place from Bangalore on a road trip. When we covered 1hr distance, our vehicle broke on the way. We had to wait for another vehicle for almost 1hr. And luckily got a better vehicle..hehehe :D
To reach this place, we have to pass through Bandipur forest area. No vehicles are allowed to stop as wild animals freely roam here. We could spot many deers, peacocks, wild pigs, monkeys, a bear, elephants. But one thing personally I didnt like was honking on the road unnecessarily. There was no traffic but probably due to habit, people honk. It disturbs the animals on the roadside where they were peacefully sitting, gazing, having their own time freely. Hope someday they put a board saying no honks! There is also a safari in this Bandipur forest. We could see the same animals that we saw on the roads.

Next day we went to Gaganachukki waterfalls. It is said to be Niagra waterfalls here. Barachukki and Gaganachukki are two waterfalls situated near the island town of Shivanasamudra in the Mandya district of Karnataka. The Gaganachukki waterfalls are best viewed from the watch tower at Shivanasamudra. Since it was monsoon time, the water was gushing in full force. We couldnt go to Barachukki waterfalls due to rains and water was overflowing everywhere. This time Kerala was in floods and everywhere there was alert.
It was a confused trip altogether but everyday we had some adventure and enjoyed without getting tensed. All is well that ends well. The trip was relaxing and memorable.
