Fundera, Yelagiri , Tamil Nadu (Travelogue)

As we walk into the Fundera .. one can only remember the quote 
" You are never too old to be young" 
and the old nursery rhyme "old McDonald had a farm"..  starts ringing in our mind..  
A venture run by Mr Vishak and his wife on a sprawling farm at the Yelagiri hills in Tamilnadu with its neat little pathways take us to a long lost fantasy land.... 
 
The land where fluffy white ducks walk lazily around us and the hens and chicks welcome us into its coop to be petted.



And where we see ... the bunnies hop happily onto our feet and the guinea piggies keep chomping on the leaves... 


Then there's a cute donkey, nudging close to the fence and poses for a picture with us..


As we turn right we see the ostriches  racing around their huge fenced space and don't wish to come near ... 

Hearing the mooing sound we move towards the cows and calves and that's when we see an enclosed aviary, with a various chirping sounds.. 

The birds from far and wide are housed here. Big and small, brightly coloured oblivious to the strangers they peck into our palms for food..  perching magestically on our hands and shoulders.

A wonderful place to visit while spending a leisure trip at the otherwise laid back town of Yelagiri.

(Yelagiri is a small hill station situated off the Vanniyambadi - Thirupattur road. It's altitude is around 1,100 meters above sea level and is spread around 30 kms sqared. There are few gardens, parks and temples around where one can spend a weekend. Eatouts are few and the tourist mostly need to depend on the resort restaurant.)
