Nisargadhama's longings Nisargadhama forest is one of the tourist attractions in Kodagu, Karnataka. It is an island formed by the river Kaveri. What you see everywhere on this 64-acre island are bamboos. There are also some sandalwood and teak trees. As you walk along the mud track, some deer will gaze at you with a strange longing in their eyes. Their gaze looks plaintive. You enter this forest through a narrow hanging bridge which raises your hopes if not dreams. You walk along chasing those hopes or dreams. Bamboos blink at you everywhere. An air of desolation overwhelms you slowly. You long for something more than bamboos. More than the wistfulness in the doleful eyes of the deer. One of the many huts on the way For a change you can choose an elephant ride. Or maybe look out for a peacock. The easiest diversion will be the elevated huts. Climb up and then climb down. Back on the mud track, philosophise about life’s inevitable ups and downs.
