On 30th December we travelled to Bengaluru for holidays. It took almost two and a half hour to reach Bengaluru from Delhi and luckily no fog delays this time. Last year when we were travelling to Mumbai/Goa, our flight was delayed by about six hours.
From the airport we took a taxi to one of my father's friend's house. As it was already evening, we did not do much that day and had evening snacks, dinner and took rest. My father had great time meeting his old pal.
Next day we went to a meeting another family friend. At their home I played PS3 with their son Vibhu who was of my age. Then from there we all together went to Science Museum. The science museum was very big. It had lot's of scientific stuff which we enjoyed.

Then we went back to the place where we were staying. In the society there was a new year party.
After the party we went back home as the next day we had to go to Coorg, a town near Bengaluru.
The next day we got up early and took a tempo traveller to Coorg. On the way we took another family of my father's friend. Then on the whole way to Coorg I was reading a book. We took breaks to have our breakfast and lunch. I had Idli, Dosa and Sambhar. That was enough. Authentic south Indian food was very delicious.
Then on the way to Coorg, we visited 'Golden Temple'. Golden Temple just before Coorg is a Buddhist Temple and there is a small community of Tibetans in that area. After visiting the temple, we continued our journey to Madikeri, which is district headquarters of Coorg.

We had booked a homestay atop a hill surrounded by Coffee plantation. The house was very big and there were two sevants who were cleaning and cooking. The house had a place where we could do a bonfire. There were two swings also. The view from the homestay was terrific.

In the same area from where we did shopping there was a good restaurant, where we had our dinner. The food was delicious especially the chicken. As it was getting late, we decided to go back to our homestay.
The next day we had to go back to Bengaluru so we left the homestay and went towards Bengaluru. On the way we stopped in Mysore to visit the Mysore Palace. The place was huge and pretty crowded. The palace was built by Maharaja Rajashri.

The next day we first went to Bannergatha National Park. It was a huge place. First we went to do a safari. The safari was divided into many parts such as lion safari, tiger safari, white tiger safari etc. The safari was awesome. We could see all the animals walking freely here and there. These are some of the pics of the safari.
