Where do i go for???: A quick weekend getaway

Try the Bannerghatta Zoo. If you have time to kill and dont have the mindset to be cynical i.e. Why the zoo? Well.

For one, its presumably within a 25 km radius of the furthest part of Bangalore city (not counting the new airport
It has a lion/ tiger safari... complete with buses
There is a butterfly park
Jungle lodges has a property there
They have elephant rides

Now, the true considerations...

25km or not, Bannerghatta road at 130PM on a saturday afternoon is not a great drive budget at least 1.5 hours
There are buses. There are lions, tigers - even the white ones. But the catch is that it aint no safari, not actually. The poor creatures (looking underfed) have been let into a seperate area, and the bus driver knows exactly where they are roaming about. Not a single other animal is in sight
I like the butterfly park, or did so a year ago
Have no clue about Jungle lodges there
Elephant rides are there. But we got distracted by the visible wounds on the baby elephants feet which made it shift weight from one foot to the other consistently.

There are snakes a plenty, a lone leopard, one healthy zebra, A whole host of tortoises, A good smattering of peacocks, and best of all cute hippos. The conditions arent ideal, and one may feel that the animals are being neglected. But despite that you may catch a shot or two like we did, which will make the trip worthwhile...

So here goes our shots

The malnourished lions
If you dont feed me, ill start acting like a dog. See, i can scratch my ear with my hind leg already...

Philosophy in a zoo cage...

The king of the jungle i may not be, but im the master of all that i survey

Who said Hippos cant pose, saala?
I can stand on my own two feet and get your attention.

Noone cares about my boo-boo
I can shift my feet as many times as i want, but does anyone really care about my hurt right foot at the back?
