Back home after a fulfilling stop at Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur - The last day of our 14 days long trip through east coast of India || Noida to Rameshwaram

I am not sure if everyone feels this way but as a trip draws to a close, there is this bittersweet realization that the adventure is about to end and you are about to go back to a routine. However, on the last day of our 14-day-long road trip from Noida to Rameshwaram and back via Eastern Ghats, I had this and much more on my mind. The challenging exit out of our hotel parking being one of them.

However, on the last day of our 14-day-long road trip from Noida to Rameshwaram and back via Eastern Ghats, I had this and much more on my mind. The challenging exit out of our hotel parking being one of them. 

As I had feared, it took a lot of effort to get our car out of the parking. It took a lot of maneuvering and tire burns to make it happen. Above all, we needed to keep a cool head. However, once we were out of it, we had another decision to make - whether or not we should go to Bharatpur. We wanted to make one more exciting stop before we got home and both of us cannot have enough of birds. Moreover Bharatpur is reliable, hassle-free, and the returns are 100% guaranteed.

However, at that time we were not aware that we would be passing through some very foggy areas. We drove through dense fog with close to zero visibility for almost 50 kilometres and were worried if we would be able to see any birds at all.

But just as we reached the sanctuary, the fog miraculously disappeared. As a result we were able to spot Northern Pintails, Greylag Geese, Bar-headed Geese, and the usual favorites such as kingfishers, darters, cormorants, egrets, herons, raptors etc. We walked about 13 kilometers and 22000 steps through the day.

Then we took the Yamuna Expressway back home. 

As exciting as the trip had been, coming home was a great feeling too. However the irony is that only a few days after you get back, you start getting that urge to head out again. Travel too is addictive and you start experiencing withdrawal symptoms as the distance from the last travel grows.
