Wanderlust – Masinagudi
In the shadow of the Nilgiris, one could find Masinagudi – a home to resorts, forests and elephants. You could reach M from Bangalore, by going towards Mudumalai. I have always believed that if you see a place near the mountains, walk towards it. Go deeper towards the mountains and Masinagudi unfolds. Its numerous luxury resorts (each better than the other) and mist cast a spell (I spelt that right, didnt I?) Masinagudi attributes its name to a tiny little temple of “Masinamma” which is at the village. The village stretches for about two streets and phew, its pitch dark after six. The resorts are a little away from the village, more towards the mountains. And the taxis at the village would take you there for a Rs 50. Some resorts you could try are “Ombalan's” and “Bamboo Banks”. There are a lot of things you could do at Masinagudi – take a mountain walk and so on. The forests are very deceptive though and is very much real – with its tigers and elephants (Tuskers too) and bears. Masinagudi is a place to unwind with your latest buy from Crosswords. Its beautiful, mist-ical and very close to Ooty. You could take a look at close by places like Singara and so on. If you meet a tusker while you do so, convey my regards.
