Talakona jungle trip

Things happen as and when it has to happen, as i believe in this, it makes me quite dizzy to plan for any trip well in advance. Talakona trip was one such fortuitous adventure with all my best charming pals.

It was a rainy day with 48hrs cyclone, everyone wanted to ensure they don't leave their comfort zone with shut eyes. We five crazy comrades (Me, srini, anil, sravs & bhanu) were excited about the climate and trip.
We commenced our journey with a devotional visit to kalayana venkateswara temple, tirupati.
Talakona waterfalls is exactly 50kms from our home (tirupati) with almost 30kms Ghats way. It took around 1 hour 30 mins to reach the parking Zone of Talakona. 
The entire way from tirupati to talakona was patched with greenery and farm houses. The difficile began with ghat road that muddled us with more of pits than path. 

The parking zone was filled up with few food courts and a very graceful temple on its left. 
We were promenading towards waterfall which is approximately 4kms. First 2 kms were too exciting as dense trees were surrounded with massive branches. All was good until we met those special creatures that resembles humans, in fact they are our ancestors.
We were very careful about our belongings as they didn't allow us to carry any food materials like the scanners kept in Inox & PVR. Once they screened us and believed we are not carrying any eatables, we climbed another 2kms with tight securtiy(Ancestors).
Haun, the moment we heard the waterdrift , we were back to our excited mood of hopping furiously in falls.
We were just under 270ft drift which gave us a feel someone is throbbing violently on us :) It was real pleasure.

We stood almost an hour that which influenced an awful shiver. Better not to be troubled with running nose , cough and cold, one by one moved out of the tenor to rest the shiver.
While walking back to parking zone we had a tight security again for baggage screening:(  we couldn't entertain any eatables as guards expected a strict reverence :( . 
Its not only our ancestors, we could hear some footsteps and dreadful noises when we were in deep woods.

But it all lasted for few secs, which gave us the feel of deep rooted woods.
We were walking with irresistible appetite to figure out the food court.
It was 4:45 pm when we completed our lunch  but it looked as though it was 7 pm .
We were set to rush back for comfortable drive. At around 6:45pm we arrived back home safely.
