Sandeep's World >> Travelogues >> Kozhikode Trip


A long way from work to home in April 2002

Bengaluru (Bangalore) to Kozhikode (Calicut) is around 360 kilometers. The route is through some exciting places like Mysuru (Mysore), Bandipur wildlife sanctuary and Wayanad pass. We (myself and Ashish in my CBZ) started off on a friday evening and stayed at Mysuru in the night. Set off again in the morning and reached Kozhikode by noon time.

Me @ Gundulpet

This snap was taken in Gundulpet, 200 kms from Bengaluru. We reached Gundulpet by around 7.00 in the morning.

Me @ Bandipur

Entering the Bandipur wild life sanctuary. Road to the sanctuary from Gundulpet is very narrow and full of potholes.

Ashi @ Bandipur

Pristine and serene backdrop of Bandipur Wild life sanctuary. The road passes throught the sanctuary for almost 60 kms. The ambience is so beautiful, especially early in the morning, with only the chirruping sounds of birds.
