Trip to Kodaikanal – The Queen of Hill stations

Trip to Kodaikanal – Queen of Hill stations This post is about our travel to Kodaikanal -The princess of Hill stations Hills and mountains always keep mesmerizing to me. So, we always keep looking for a chance to travel to hill stations and spend some time in the lap of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city. I’ve of course travelled some of the hill stations (like Munnar, Ooty, Ponmudi etc) but Kodaikanal is the best I would say of all the hill-stations.  Just sharing my travel experience to Kodaikanal -in the lap of mother nature. Kodaiknal is the city in Dindigul district of Tamil Nadu. The nearby hill stations like Ooty and Munnar have been highly commercialized, but Kodaikanal still enjoys the advantage of being a picturesque hill-station.  Kodaikanal mostly encompass of a close community and other basic infrastructure. There are some beautiful visiting spots and the economy is mostly driven ...

Elephant Rehabilitation park - a travel diary

From ancient days elephants have been an important part of the history and tradition of Kerala.  It’s not a fairy tale but I want you to take through the visuals that I come across at Elephant Rehabilitation Centre located at Kottur. The morning sun in its childish drive lures myriad figures in the water reservoir with the black majesties having their grand bath – Both big and the small. My son Abhinav standing behind the mammal with a prehensile trunk.  It's always fun to visit multiple locations on one trip, but I think it also actually depends on the ages of those on holiday. As a child, I loved spending time in one vacation spot, getting attached to the location, becoming comfortable, and feeling as though I were at home.  This is something I would like for my children to experience. Have you ever seen an elephant bathing in a lush forest?  Some of them joyfully get into the water reservoir for getting their tough skin scrubbed. Peace l...

My great day at Ponmudi - The Golden peak

Ponmudi – The Golden peak is located in the God’s own country, Kerala. The hill station is just 50 kms away from the city center, Thiruvananthapuram . We all connected and networked all through our life. I was just trying to break it out and welcome the nature with vast arms where silence greets you and you are cut off from the world.  I just did that and got away for a Sunday, a retreating into the hills, running away from the urban civilization with my family. We felt a change immediately after we passed Kallar. The ride has turned out to be a smooth one and quickly we were inside the forest area. The roads were curvy but it was fantastic and I was really enjoying the drive.  It was a thrilling experience to navigate all 22 Hairpin curves. The major picnic spot on the way to Ponmudi is the Meenmutti waterfalls. Have to trek 1km through the dense forest to reach the awesome waterfalls. We were really enjoying the climb through the thick forest....
