At the beginning we visited Hanging Bridge and collected few ground information and made few videos and proceeded towards Hoode beach. Admiring the scenic beauty were a dozen of visitors admiring the beauty amidst the chirping sound of feathered friends who were in a hurry to visit back to their dwellings. From Hoode beach we moved forward to Bengre which we gave major priority in our road trip.
