Yesterday went to Sangam and GRS fantasypark. Gosh i know how exhausted we were at the end of the day. we planned this picnic on 13th Jan. And luckily we were able to excute it. Went with my classmates (X). We were 11 ppl. I think i better mention the names: Kamna, Sukada, poornima S, Amit, Kundu, Ranjan, Veenu, Pranay, Sachin, Shashi. We started at 8.30 a.m from bangalore in a mini bus (Tempo Traveler) and reached there by 11 a.m.
Sangam: heard a lot about it..but not a very nice place.
About Sangam
It is about 90 km from Bangalore via Kanakapura. Sangam, (or the confluence point - the rivers Cauvery and Arkavathi meet here) is the best place from Bangalore for an average tourist to look forward to. On the way (from Bangalore), there are number of hills, hillocks and about 15 small lakes which are all a feast to the eyes.
i guess we went to a wrong sangam...because we went to mysore road and its written kanakpura road...this i realised after reading article again now :O
My friends started making fun of me saying that " yahan per nala dikane ke liye laayi hai"...it was so embarrasing...i saw the sangam's photograph on net and it was looking a nice picture...i tried explaing them how i heard about it and they told " wasted 30 bucks" because we paid 30 bucks for parking our bus..god they ate my brain but thankfully poornima told something good..she told that some local people come here to bring the ashes of the deceased to the Cauvery. Its supposed to be a holy place. Then we moved to our main destination "Fantasy park".
We reached there at 12.00 p.m . We were damn hungry so we took meals and then we changed the outfits and were in water. We enjoyed all the rides...it was so exciting...we tried almost every waterride...then after we were tired we went to the dance floor...Rain dance at 5.00 with all latest tracks...enjoyed that but it was getting cold..so we came out and went to another ride called as "Lazy river". 15 mins we were there in the lazy river..sitting happily on tubes and waiting for river to flow slowly. Had a great time there. Then started for bangalore at 6.00 and halted on a dhaba for the dinner. The serivice was slow but food was good. It took one and half hours to finish everything at dhaba. Reached bangalore at 12.15 a.m.
Just went to bed straight and slept...today morning went to dentist and came late to office...Still having the water effects on me ;) ...would love to have another picnic soon. Everyone seemed to enjoyed so they told me to organise a third get together outstation..and destination we chose is Kerala backwaters. Lasttime i could not go because of Tsunami waves but m sure before going back to delhi i will see that place :)
