Vadanthangal... or Bird Park

A few weeks back a group of us took a bus ride from school about 2 hours to Vadanthangal (Th is pronounced as a T). An area where there were thousands of migratory birds living around in this one area around a lake. I wasn't sure what I would see but was excited just to be getting out of the city and see a little more and a different side of India. The busy, people packed city of Chennai can be a little trying at times. I was a little hesitant to go on the trip considering we had to be at school by 6am on a Saturday to catch the bus. It was all worth it though, the bus trip wasn't too bad, sometimes the crazy driving/driver can be enough to convince you not to go on a trip here! We arrived smoothly and were surrounded by nature. There was the lake with birds on one side of our walking path and on the other the rice fields! It was a wonderful break from the reality of Chennai, the air was clean the scenery was beautiful and the company was good! I'm excited to take some more weekend adventures out of Chennai and explore more of the beauty that India has to offer! Check out more pictures here!
