Karnataka Tour

We around 85 students with our H.O.D.Mr.JeyaChandran went on an educational tour to Coorg & Mysore. We stayed in S.K. Continental at Mysore and Mahalashmi Residency in Coorg. It was a grt fun there. Mr. Balaji a travel agent was the tour manager. The scenery in Coorg was implicit. The climate was also very pleasant with cool breeze from all side. The cloudy atmosphere and the rains splashed with happiness. The water droplets on the leaves in the early mornings looked amazing and the fog which covered the trees with a white layer looked beautiful.



We visited Tibetar Golden Temple where we found a lot of Buddhist monks. The temple was a massive one. We had a chat with the monks there. They have planted rose and grasses. While they shook in the air it seemed to me as if they were welcoming and wishing us all the best. I learnt abt their beliefs and lot more. The place was surrounded by high walls.



We reached the hotel for stay in the late afternoon. And in the night they had organized for a camp fire where Rev. Fr. Joseph Antonysamy gave a brief note on St. Ignecius of Loyola and the founder of Society of Jesus (SJ). Thereafter we danced with joy and returned back to the destination for rest.



The nxt day, we went to Abi falls which was surrounded by hills. The falls was located miles far away. The place was breezy. Though I was not able to go near the falls I njoyed view of the scenery & it looked awesome. From there we went to Chamundi hills. The hills from above looked fantastic. The clouds looked near as if its coming down. Thala Cauvary is a boat resort in Coorg. The fresh water is flowing with joyfulness. .



The following day, our crew went to Dobera Forest ..There we saw deer . The forest was dense. The forest was sloppy and it seemed to me that we are going on a trekking . On the day, we visited tomb of Hyder Ali & Tippu Sultan in Mysore . In the evening we were engaged in light & music show @ Brindavan Gardens. The colorful fountains looked awesome while the fountain danced along with the tune .



This tour gave us a good exposure and a nice experience. I learnt many things. Every one has to visit Mysore and Coorg at least once in their life time.
