Visit to Munnar - Mangulam - Anakkulam

-

Its a Team Outing this time and plan is to visit Munnar. Started on a Friday night from Trivandrum and reached Munnar by 5:00 AM. It was so chill out there and hence we came to a conclusion that the weather will be pleasant and it happened to be right opposite to what we thought. Once the sun comes out, it was pretty hot there. We stayed in "The Heights Resort" which is almost 18 km from Munnar Town. We really don't want stay in the middle of the town since we would like to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Less crowd, calm location, pleasant weather is what we expected and everything happened except the last one.

Once we check in in the early morning, everyone seems to be so tired ,started to sleep and only a bunch of guys available with whom we decided to visit the nearby waterfalls, which was happened to be the best part of the trip for me.

Beautiful Tea Plantations on our way



I really enjoyed our mini trek to the waterfalls. It was a small waterfall and there were no people at all by the time we went and we had some great time in there.The water was absolutely chill and the experience was magnificent.


Chilling

We finished bathing and started back to the resort and by the time only there were few tourist started to come by. I was just thinking about the water which was so chill even in the hot weather and how it would be during winter.


Picturesque location 



We reached the resort in the afternoon and we had some good food out there. After lunch we have decided to go for a Off- road Jeep trekking which was an unique experience for us. The resort has arranged couple of Jeep for us and we started immediately after the Lunch. 





Starting from the resort , we went through Mangulam and took Off Road to Anakulam Elephants view Point

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
