Our experience in Coonoor

I visited O'land plantation, Coonoor,Tamil Nadu with my father, mother and sister recently.  I had a very nice experience there.  On the day we all were to leave, we left Bengaluru at 6am. We reached Mysore at 9;30am.  We had our breakfast here.  After a few more hours, we reached the Bandipur forest. We saw herds and herds of deer and elephants there. Then, we reached the Madumalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu.


Before entering , there was a sign that read, VISIT AGAIN KARNATAKA STATE .  I felt very sad.  I love Karnataka.And after all, it is my mother land.  Around 1;00pm we reached Ooty.  We stopped there to have our lunch.  We even bought some of the homemade chocolates of Ooty.   We resumed our journey after that.  To my delight, my father had brought a route map and told me to show the way!


Finally,we reached O'land plantation.  We were going to stay at a villa named the 'Hornbill house'.  As soon as we settled, we went to a nearby waterfall and played. At 8;00pm, a guide took us to the Estate house wherein we all were going to have dinner. When we were returning , we saw a herd of wild bisons. Luckily, the guide chased them away.


The next day, we planned to go for a treck. We had fun and came back in the afternoon.  But, the next day , we had to leave. We left early the next day and reached Bengaluru at around 9;00pm.
