As every trip this trip als had got lotta discussions but it ended up in some miserable things that had and would never happen again (hopefully :) ) :P We were ready for a night trek to Skandagiri. All set.. ready on time!! (only half an hour late of given time :P) but wondering why no1 is calling to go. then we get to know that two of the drivers themselves had decided and no one knows why the person who was suppose to be our driver didnt turn up. And so, instead of cancelling a so discussed trip Mangesh decided to check some other travels. Finally we left for place at 11:30pm.
Journey started in so much excitement! Played antakshari.. singing every aa, ee, and uu of a song... Journey was not that long... it seemed even short coz of songs!! In some lonely area some bikers seemed to follow us! oops! forgot to mention... We were 5 gals and 3 guys!! So we had to be carefull :P
We were some 1km away from the place from where we were going to start a trek. Some 2-3 ppl stopped cab asking to switch off light! They talked something to driver in kannada.We could only understand was there are police and they are not allwoing to Skandagiri! Gosh! We still went ahead and checked thinking it could be some kinda trick local ppl playing! (1am). But that was true. We came back. And those 2-3 guys were actually a guide who wud help during treks and all. And they were telling they would take us to a place through some different route (1:10am). We all were deciding wat to do.. wat wud be safe.. how much money to giv to them.. etc.. even some more vehicles came at same time and we got confirmation that it would be okay if we go with these ppl.
So, we all came out of the cab and were about to leave... (1:30am).That moment 2 police came. One person came towards us. He was shouting something obv we didnt understand anything as it was in kannada! He got angry since we were not following what he was asking us to do. and he just moved his stick and hit it so hard on driver's leg.. Next second we all were at respective places and in 2 seconds we were away from that place.Those guys who were suppose to be guides they went off in the air just like ghosts!So.. completly disappointed we decided to come back to flat! still some excited minds planned to go to Nandi Hills near by place. Driver was already scared as he was saying he first time in life got bit-up from police.We decided will go nandihills (even though those people were saying even at Nandihills police are not allowing to go).. see sunrise n return... no one was talking a word..
We reached down to Nandi hills (2:30am) and again there were police and some more people waiting to tick a 4am in clock! So, enthu public in our group decided to have mini-trek on a small platau in front of our car. 3 of us went till top.. 2 managed till middle and 3 even at the start oly(3am). Cold and fresh air... dark dark and dark all around... stars twinkling in the sky... so beautifull over there! Happiness in small version! liked it.. We started climbing down by the time we reach something had happened down with unlucky 3 people who didnt climb up! two small children who were not letting us climb that small hill came with someone like police. As Mangesh and Sumant got hit by his stick.. I missed this event but writing what all i heard from reliable source :P :) And we gave him some bucks to let us go and avoid some more 'lathi-chaar' :D. We reached Nandi hils at 4am and got to know ticket couter and gate wll open at 5:30 or so... again waiting...
But this time it was really really awesome!! there were almost 100 to 150 people i suppose who were waiting. most of the crowd was drunk.. some cars were playing really loud music to get feel of pub or something like that! And a guy we call him B+ve (he had written his blood group on his car) simply started some stunts around a pole!! and this all went off till 5:30 in the morning! Some bikers came in between and showed their tallent!! it was juss amazing!! and actually helpful to keep our eyes wide open in chilling cold! :) ticket couter opened at 6am. We ran to the point to catch up sunrise! and finally that red globe we managed to see! so calm and beautiful look! ready to burn the world for rest of the day! Ate some stuff we had there and left the place (as all of us had been there and everyone was in hurry to go home!). I dont know who all were awake in journey back to flat as i was sleeping! :P And we were about to reach to our place and the climax of this eventfull trip had to happened!
We were 20 mins away from spencer's and tyre got punctured!!! Driver took his time to fix it up.. we still managed to laugh and click more pics and came back at 9am!!
So... this was like this all weirdest eventfull trip!! We enjoyed everything in it!!! :)
