Checked out around 9:30 am. The resort. staff was wonderful as they have been all through. The resort itself was one of the best I have ever stayed in any place in the world. The attention to detail even in the smallest of items is worth mentioning. Every one believes in service with a smile and quirky replies to possible tiger sightings - yes ma'am, I sent an SMS to the tiger this morning to be available for photographs and many more such replies.
Wish we stayed here few more days, next time.
The distance from Kabini to Bandipur is only 100 km but due the terrible condition of the most direct route we had to take the road to Mysore and go South from there. A long detour it took us around 3.5 - 4.00 hours.
Checked into the Windflower Resort, a beautiful but rustic place with limited amenities . The Manager on duty was very pleasant and helpful as was his staff.
There is no cell reception here and limited wifi in the conference room. Other than having to save this blog locally for now, I think I can survive 12-15 hours without.
After lunch, left at 3:30 PM for the 4:00 PM safari. This was a larger vehicle but without the visibility that the other ones had.
The forest itself was beautiful but the animals were scarce. It had some very scenic water holes but not much animal activity.
This coupled with the fact that the vehicle was noisy, hardly ever stopped for picture taking, and the spotter didn't make much effort it was a somewhat of a non productive trip.
The roads were very bad, I kept thinking of how nice everything was in Nagarhole.
Came back to the resort for coffee and snacks followed by dinner. We need to be packed for tomorrow since we will leaving right after the safari and breakfast.
