Day 2

It was early morning and the weather was very chilled and I could see many hangover faces ;) then comes an announcement pls have your breakfast and then you ll be taken to long forest walk and take bath at the floating water, so as usual we were late so had to miss the long crowd so with the help of local guidance we walked alone  it was almost 1.5 km from Huts then we reached the floating water spot many were taking bath, water was so fresh and cold we kept walking slowing in to water and got wet, after one hour of playing...finally we came out and walked back to Huts and in the mean time played cards with friends and rushed to lunch spot as we were again late. After having lunch we had to bag pack and leave the papi hills and we boarded the lanchi it was hour and half ride to boat spot and from there back to Badraachalam and at 9pm we boarded the bus to Hyderabad.
