Thanks, rsk. We will know tomorrow if we can get a room there. Spending the night close nature, rather than the city, is one of the attractions.

Have binoculars, although not high power --- I can just imagine how mad we would be if we forget them!

Rocky, we should be going next week, but it has to be weekday, and we plan to spend the night.

Hello folks,

I am back after a small break (8 Days I guess)

Looks like Nick is postponing his trip to vedanthangal.

CBCID: What happened to your job? Have you joined?

Santos: What's up? No Sound?

We had a room booked for tomorrow night, but Sushi is not well. Probably we'll go next week.

You can always go next week when Mrs.Nick is alright

Tips:
Dont go if you dont have binocular,

Maximum you can spend 2-3 hours in that place.

Birds are far in bushes /trees in middle of pond / lake, so without binocular you cant view them close.

You can sit and eat food in benches provided there, bring your own food, as outside there are some stalls, but better to bring little snacks from outside, when you come there.

Nick , I dont think there is something for you to spend whole night, anyways if you really love nature, and greenery then you can stay, else whole trip can be covered in 6 hours flat.

Hi, Thanks for the tips on Vedanthangal. I thought CBCID people carried binocs in their back/side pockets? Just a joke please! Happy you had a good time.

Good Morning. I think that must have been the reason why the birds were so far away from CBCID. The birds all over the world have adapted to humans carrying guns! Good wishes and have a good day

hi CB CID,

I am just back from the Commissiner's office, but couldnt find you there.

anyways, about exploring Pondy, two days is enough. If you wish to go to Auroville, then an extra day is required.

Do visit the Chunnambar resort on the Pondy Cuddalore Road. its worth the visit. However if you want to board the boat to the island you should be there by 2.30 PM to avoid disappointment.
