Back on the road again - for fish, food and friends :)

Had been almost 4 years since I'd been on a fishy trip. With vyas in town for a week, quick plans were made for a quick collection trip. Vyas would land from Manila into coimbatore, we'd pick him up and drop him back - some late night planning and came up with a probable routemap.

We ended up with the following -
Bangalore (amazing dinner at Ajay's) - coimbatore (lip smacking breakfast at Vyas') - Anaikatti - silent valley - kuntipuzha - Edappal (stop for the night) - angamaly - muvvatapuzha (stop for the night) - Thissur - Palakkad - coimbatore (Yummy biryani) - Bangalore

Quick list of species we spotted:
1. Dawkinsia filamentosus
2. Anabas
3. Xenentodon cancila
4. Puntius ticto
5. Mystus sp
6. Mesonoemacheilus sp
7. Pseudolaguvia sp
8. Pseudetrouplus maculatus
9. Rasbora sp
10. Garra sp
11. Devario sp
12. Salmostoma sp

Adios till the next ride!
