Ride to Bannergatta National Park

     24th Dec turned out to be pretty special to me because for the first time I took my little sister for a ride.She didn't remember visiting  the Zoo and so it was a ride to Bannergatta Zoo :) Left home around 3:10,took us around 1 hour to reach,not much traffic,around 20kms from Forum mall.A lot of people due to the holiday season. They've improved the zoo quiet a lot.Entry to the zoo costs around 60 Rupees per person and for the safari 220 Rupees.We decided to just head to the zoo.

     There's a park for kids to play and a lot of shops to keep you munching on.There's a good variety of birds,really lovely ones.Enjoyed their chirpyness :) 

     The park is very clean,even the enclosures for animals.I would say the star of the zoo would be the leopard and then the Hippos :) The spotted deers look so peaceful and beautiful.

     Kinda felt sad for this Indian hornbill,because it was the only one in its cage,where as every other animal had a company.

     These southern USA turtles seemed to be the happiest in the zoo,so alive :) Then there were some more animals in the zoo.One can head to this place for a relaxed evening.The safari closes by 4:30 and the zoo is open till 5-5:30 I guess.Where ever my sister heads,she has to do some shopping,pulled me to the souvenir shop and we ended buying two Tiger T-shirts.It was around 5:30 when we left the place.As a rider didn't want to take the same route to reach Bangalore,so we took the nice road from Bannergatta to Kanakapura to enjoy the sunset.Open smooth roads gives you a different feel altogether. 

My Faithful Companion :)

    After reaching Bangalore we headed to Brigade road to check out the decorations which really puts you in a Christmas spirit when your in Bangalore. 

    And so this lovely day on Christmas eve ended beautifully.Everyday brings it own beauty and magic,all we have to do is to discover it :) Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year :)
