Ponmudi - The Golden Peak Trivandrum

-
I relocated to Trivandrum from Chennai and it has been 3 months now. Heard a lot about ponmudi and want to explore the place this weekend.i don't have a car or a bike and travelled by public transport. KSRTC bus from Thambanoor bus station starts exactly at 8:10 Am.For the bus timing Type KSRTC TVM PMDY and send it to 537252 you'll get the timing at which the bus starts from the bus station,pretty useful,isnt it?







 Bus starts at 8:10 and you can reach by 10:30,they will drop you in a place well before the check post and it's almost 2 kms for the upper sanatorium. We got into another bus in about 20 minutes to get into the upper. If you have car or bike ,then no issues,pay 20 Rs at the check post and you can go to the upper sanatorium.




since it's a weekend, there was good crowd there. I loved the place actually , it is not yet commercialized and hills are so beautiful.what I really loved is the gentle and cool breeze you'll get,absolutely wonderful.ideal picnic spot for families.


 Well I packed lunch and took couple of water bottles and it paid of actually,there are no shops in the hill station. There is a KTDC restaurant where you can get tea and ice creams.



    One day is more than enough to explore the place.not sure how this place could be in the month of April and may.but in December it is beautiful



 .By 1:30 PM there is a bus in the upper sanatorium from where you can come till nedumangad and there you'll get many buses to east fort. Just go and enjoy the cool breeze with an ice cream ,so calm and peaceful.

When we decided to visit Alleppey, the 1st thing that comes in my mind is the beautiful love story of Jessi and Karthick potrayed in the Tamil movie "Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya" where some of the portions were shot in the backdrop of this lovely backwaters of Alleppey. So we decided to visit a church which played an important role in the movie. Walkway to the Home stay Walkway Once we decided our destination, we preferred a calm and peaceful home stay and got one on the bank of the river Pamba. After getting down in Alleppey Railway station, we took an auto to reach Pallathuruthy Police station from where you have to either walk or you can ask the home stay persons to help you with their two wheeler to reach their home stay. But I preferred to walk and it was a good choice I made. It was a Friday morning , a pulic holiday followed by weekends. So there were a lot tourists around especially foreigners. The walkway was so nice where i was accompanied by the g

We start to heard a lot about a Non- Veg Hotel which is an hour and half drive from my hometown. Even people from far distance are raving about this hotel and no surprise we wanted to visit that place. Myself and my friend Muruganand started from karaikal by 10:30 AM in the morning. The Hotel is located at Puthur which is at a distance of 8km from Sirkazhi Town and 50 km from Karaikal. Since the location is in the Chennai - Nagapattinam National Highway where there will be frequent travelers to Velankanni, Nagore, Thirunallar which is a  big advantage for this hotel. view of Puthur Jayaram Hotel We reached around 12 PM and hotel is already full. Luckily we got couple of seats and people who came after have to wait in the queue. The Hotel is very famous for Seer Fish Fry, Prawn fry , fish Gravy and Curd. I can say , you won't get these food items with this excellent quality anywhere apart from Puthur Jayaram Hotel and that too for an affordable price. I ordered th
