Weekend drive to Gudalur from Bangalore via Bindipur and Mudumali National Park
As Amar was visiting Banglore i was thinking about a weekend drive and stared planning with Shankar. First place which came to my mind was Gudalur and Devala. Reaching Gudalur would be driving through Bandipur and Mudumalai National Park.
Started the trip with a good breakfast at Iyengars Café around 10 AM and filled up enough fuel for the trip and headed towards Gudalur. I must say this was one of those trips were pit stop time (photos and snacks) was more than me behind the wheels.
By mid-day we crossed Mysore and headed towards Gundelpet more pit stops followed.
Around 2 PM we entered Bandipur National Park with in few kms a young elephant showed up.
We turned off the music to blend in with the atmosphere. As we drove we saw deer and more deer.
As we entered into TamilNadu the routine prohibition check was done by TN police. We reached Theppakadu, Mudumalai National Park around 3 PM and were not in a mood for the Van Safari or the Elephant Camp today so moved on to Gudalur.
Oh God those 18 KM from Theppakadu to Gudalur was awful roadless nightmare. After the restless 18 KM located my Uncles place which was our stay. As we had few more hours of sunlight we headed to Devala will have a dedicated post for this.
Started the day early at 5:30 AM drove towards Theppakadu for the Van Safari. 20 mins into the Van Safari all we saw was deer just then a we had a prime seat for peacock dance this made the trip
Soon after the Van Safari we rushed back to Bangalore as I had to test a Go-Live application Oh Yeha on a Sunday !! Yes the young elephant was at the same place ( just few kms in side Bindipur ) to send us off.
Trip Distance: 540 KM
Thank You For Helping Us Reach Our 2014 Noble Cause Goal
Thanks to Hackerz family & friends for generous contributions towards Noble Cause 2014, we reached (and surpassed) our goal, raising Rs 37500!
We feel that, it is very crucial for the students for whom we are sponsoring as they pursuing their 10th & 11th standard. With all of your generous contributions we had helped those two students to pursue their education. On behalf of the HackerZ family we had wished the students “All the best” for their exams. We would like to thank the sponsors for their generous support!

NOBLE CAUSE – 2014
Last year, we had identified a child studying her 9th Std .
We have been in constant touch with the school principal and she was excited to share with us that the girl was the topper (1st) among all classes in 9th Std and now have started her 10th Std special classes as well. She is ready to study and so, it’s time for us to huddle up again for sponsoring her 10th Std School fee.
The principal of the school also approached us on if we could sponsor one other boy as well who has completed his 10th Std and awaiting his results. Below is the fee structure for 10th & 11th Std.
For 10th – Rs. 13,640
For 11th – Rs. 16,258
Books – Rs. 5,500
Total = Rs. 35,398
People who are interested in sponsoring this year pls. email Sathiyendran with their desired sponsor amount. This will help us in calculating the funding and decide on next steps.
Last date for volunteering and transferring fund : 31st May , 2014
NOBLE CAUSE – 2013
The discussion started on Noble cause 2013 in early June. Upon majority wishing to help a child for Education. Ganesh and his Parents took the responsibility of identifying a child in need. With their help we spotted a child who had lost her parents and was living with aunt. Aunt living alone is depending on daily wages. The Principal of Ramasamy Matric hr. Sec. School, Kavundampalayam who was trying to make things better for the child had a word with Ganesh’s parents.
We took this for discussion and on behalf of Hackerz Noble cause we decided to support the childs fee Rs. 13,150 this year. We are happy that we were able to raise the fund with the generous Hackerz community “ Thanks You ALL “.
On August 10th We meet the Principal and paid the Term 1 and Term 2 fee along with the Computer fee.
On November 20th remaining Term 3 and Term 4 fee was paid.
Thanks to Ganesh’s Parents and The Principal of Ramasamy Matric hr. Sec. School, Kavundampalayam
