We took the car to drove all the way for the trip. We started from Chennai at 9:30 PM and reached first wayanad at 9 AM by touching the Bangalore -  Mysore -  Kalpetta cities.
Police check up has been there before entering the Bandipur Forest Area.
The 10 km stretch is very serene and beautiful. We spotted some the dears too.
We started with the Kanthapara water falls, but the roads are like hell and it is very dangerous to ride for the new bees.
