Another weekend trip. Left by bus to Thrissur on Friday night. A car picked us up at the stand next morning. We spent the morning at a dam nearby and closer to the afternoon we left for Chimmony national park. Staying at an inspection bungalow in the forest is always going to be fun. After resting for a while and after lunch at a small canteen in the village just outside the forest, we began to explore a bit.
Bird activity was not too much. Saw a few deer, and birdwise just racket tailed drongos, orioles, parakeets and emerald doves. Was hoping to find slender loris but that was not to be. Since that night was supermoon night we stayed to shoot the moon and caught a few bugs as well. The trek next day showed us a few geckos and a monitor lizard. Was disappointed at not finding a slender loris. I was told they were common.
The evening was spent at a couple of waterfalls around, Athirapilly and Vazhachal. Athirapilly of course looks fantastic and the clouds and the sun brought out a little rainbow at the base as well. Since monsoon was still to hit, it was not really covered with water but it still is a huge.
