Weekend tour to Wayanad

Hello ....
So here is my first post and it's about a trip we had last weekend. I am here in Bangalore from last 6 months and unfortunately I hadn't got any chance to roam much outside Bangalore. So this time me and 5 of my friends planned to spend few days in a beautiful place ,Waynad. So on 24th night we all started from Bangalore in a hired car. before starting for Waynad we celebrate Christmas by cutting a cake :).At the next morning we reached Bandipur tiger reserve which was in our wish list to visit. We got tickets and sat in a bus and started for jungle safari. The view was really good ,green,green and more green,roads are curvy and we all were looking outside for a glimpse of tiger . We got to see lot of deer, elephant with big teeth, peacock but sadly no tiger :( .Anyways it took one and half hour and we came back the place from where we started. We started from there for our main destination. We reached Waynad at 11 a.m. We booked a home-stay called "ma-mere Residency".After reaching there we found it difficult to trace the exact place of that residency ,google map was showing something different . Anyways,finally we got the place and when I saw the way to that residency only one word came from my mind "OMG" how we will reach there. The road was quite steep and i was sure we have to walk to reach there,it wont be possible for our car to climb up up-to that place. So we all took our luggage and started walking.I was really feeling disgusting to carry all the luggage and climbing up since we were all so tired for the whole night trip. It was not so far though ,it took some 10 mins for me to reach the residency. The house was really beautiful and the surroundings too.. We had our compliment breakfast made by house owner. Then I observe the beauty of that place and slowly I was feeling really good. All over hills and hills and tall trees are spreaded everywhere.Since the place is little bit far from main road ,it was quite calm and no noise from any vehicles. And the good news was that finally one of our friend able to drive the car up-to that residency. We all took rest and next day all 5 of my friends went for chembra peak. I couldn't able to go because there people need to trek a long way to reach that peak and I am not that much fit to climb up :( ..So the whole day i was only sleeping and sleeping. But I have lot of photos and feedback about chembra peak which I got from my friends. It was a really nice trek and really tiresome too. But if someone can make it the result is too good. You will be welcomed by a nice heart shaped lake at the top of the hill and a nice view of the whole Waynad from there.They came back by 4pm and we planned to go for soochipara falls . This path was too too good. You all can check out the photos which I have attached in this post. While going there we got to know that road is blocked and we couldn't ablt to go further. So we planned that we will go for falls next day.Next day early morning we left for falls and it was our last day in Waynad.We reached there got tickets and started walking down .Here also we had to trek but it was not that much difficult. so after walking approx 2 km we reached there. The falls is really good and people can take bath if they wish. The place was so slippery and water was too cold. One bad thing ,there was no place for changing clothes at all, After that we went to Banasura Dam. It is the asia's fist earthen dam and it is quite huge. place is nice and there you can go for a speed boat ride. unfortunately we reached quite late and they stopped giving tickets. So we clicked some photos and went for fish-spa. It was the first time i had an experience with such kind of spa and really enjoyed those 10 mins :D. It was a nice weekend overall and now you all enjoy these photos(clicked by my new camera :D) that are attached below .
