Day 42: Mudumalai

Our day started with a 5 hour drive to the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary where we are staying in this hotel right in the jungle.

On our way we stopped off at a tea plantation. We were supposed to have a tour of the tea plantation. Our tour consisted of pulling over on the side of the road and taking photos. I will say that the plantation was nice. Seeing the rolling hills covered with tea plants is a rare sight in the US. It is hard to imagine that these fields are still cultivated by hand; wouldn't want to be the guy that had to do that.

At the wildlife reserve, we had the option of sleeping in a treehouse. So yes I chose a treehouse room. Later we all hopped in jeeps for a safari jeep tour. I was thinking we wouldn't see anything, but it was actually an active drive. Our ride was full of stags, wild boars, elephants, and peacocks; we even got to see a deer that had been pulled up into a tree for feeding. Nature at its finest. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures with my phone, only one of the view at the end of our trip. Well worth it though. I got some great shots on the camera. You just need to wait for 3 weeks. Sorry.
