nning so fast that I didnt even realize that one week went past. Ok, now coming to the point. This is the second time I'm going to this place. In 2006 I had gone to the same place with few of my collegues. The same place was choosen again this time for the team outing and yup, we started for Coorg on May 1st morning 6 am. Its was a holiday for us and the planned trip was for 2 days. May 2nd, all the team members opted for On-Official-Duty. (OOD)
As usual there were some confusions with the timings. Everyone assembled at K2 office by 6.15 am. This time the bus was late. I was a bit tensed since I arranged the bus. We had not wait much longer. Bus came by 6.30 am and we started for the journey. It took almost 7 hours to reach the resort we had booked. "Planters Camp". On the way, we had some fun activities inside the bus like, anthakshari, dumbshrads etc:-. Watched one lovely movie "Jab We Met". We were not much tired, 'coz the bus was air conditioned. The website of Planters camp says 
"Planter's Camp is designed for Eco Adventure tourists and is not a conventional resort. The camp is designed for maximum staying comfort and with all facilities but the essence has been to touch the natural space as little as possible.". This statement is true to the fullest. We were welcomed by the staffs there and were directed towards 4 tents, in the middle of a tea estate. Its almost a semi transparent tent. But 
a new experience for all of us. Low cost constructions. It was an amazing view from the tent. On the far side, could see beautiful hills covering the entire area. We settled down for few minutes in the tents, took some snaps and then moved towards the place where lunch was arranged. All the cooks were mallus. I could interact with the freely. Food was pretty good. Not only for me, but everyone else enjoyed the taste. After the lunch we boarded the bus and moved towards the foothill, to see a river. Since its summer time, we could find only less 
water there. Spend few time out there and then we started towards the view point. Ohh dear... I love that place... Superb atmosphere. We were placed on top of a hill. A mind blowing panoramic view. I took one video and few still, before my camera battery died. We all enjoyed the scenic excellence to the core. Sat there in the tower for sometime, did some chit chats, got dissolved in the cool breeze flowing in. 
Now back to the tent. There we were welcomed with an organized camp fire. We all got fresh up quickly and gathered infront of the burning wood bunch. Some fun activities we had that time too. I was carrying my p
ack of cards which helped me in pushing atleast 45 mins of the entertainment. Haann yes, I did few magic tricks for the team. Simple tricks, but my team members got really impressed with those... He heeee... Last trip it was dance. This time magic. And in next trip something different should come out of me, which I have already planned.. Surprise :-). Next is, sleep in the middle of a jungle, that too in a semi open tent. We found different varieties of insects poping into the tent at r
egular intervals. Slept by 00.30am and we all woke up by 6.00am types.The second and final day. Early morning it was planned for a plantation walk. With the track suits on, we all went for the tiring and exhaustive plantation walk. Walked towards one place were its said to be having waterfalls. We hardly
found any water there... Spent some time there and walked back to the tent. Had a quick and heavy breakfast. Packed up the things and return. On the way back we had planned to drop down at Golden temple of Tibet. I had visited the same place last time as well. For the first time visitors, it was a pleasent feeling. The place is so colourfull that you will love it. Some snaps I took from there in which I got one of the best and soothing still of my life. A rose. 
The same place is slightly comercialized. We had some shopping there. After sometime we started back. In between we stopped for lunch. Played the 
movie "Don". Watching the movie we all sat back and relaxed. By 8.30pm we reached office and settled the bills and dispersed.I can't rate this trip as a 100% statisfied journey. But a better time with the team mates and a change from the routine life.
