Trek to top of Madhavoorpara Mountain via the Bamboo Bridge

About today around 3 years ago on 7th July 2018; a short trek to top of Madhoorpara mountain/temple nearby Trivandrum, Kerala. Had to take a bridge made of bamboo to reach the top. The weather was comfortable with good winds blowing and the creaks of the bamboo bridge could also be heard.

Pallivasal in Idukki district of Kerela

A small Roman Catholic church nestled among the hills and tea gardens, which is in a secluded place just 10 mins walking from the Attukad Waterfall in the small village named Pallivasal in Idukki district of Kerela.

During my visit I could just find one person who is from the same village; his name was Jo. Wasn't that great in his English but however I could make out he was saying been visiting this church for 11 years now daily twice, once early morning and his second visit is around late evening when actually we both were there at the church at the same time 5.30 pm.

Boat Stories from way back in 2015

Navigating the boat over the mountain to only realize that,
 at the top of one mountain, there's another mountain.

Munnar Diaries from July 2018

The light spring rain rode on the wind, into the trees, down the mountain, lake, and this adventure park; it brought an exhilarating freshness in the air, a smell of earth, a scent of flowers; it brought a smile to my eyes and others present over there at that moment.

These are some of the eye-catching photographs which I had taken just before the rains have poured down on this dreamy hill station of Munnar about a little more than three years ago.

Mesmerizing Weather

Captured at the DTPC kids adventure park which was just near to the resort where we were staying. The colours of green, yellow, red, pink along with others and the clouds bought a majestic feeling to be at this place.

Ever heard about the David Scott Trail in Meghalaya??

Out from the archives, the pictures from David Scott Trail in Meghalaya visited in September 2009; almost 11 years back.

The starting point of the trek near Mawphlang village

This 16km trek is part of the horse cart trail which was built to connect Assam and Bangladesh during the nineteenth century.

The highest point of the Trek

The trail is named after David Scott who operated around Khasi hills for almost 30 years and he was the first British administrator to be sent to North East India during the British Raj.

Another view of the hanging bridge

This is one of the oldest trekking routes in Meghalaya starting from Mawphlang (nearer to Shillong) ending at Ladmawphlang (near to Cherrapunji). We were accompanied by two Khasi localities who took us to the highest points of the trail, returned back since we didn't have time to complete the 16km trek till Ladmawphlang, and had to return back to Shillong before the evening.

We continued our descent towards Mawphlang

Every bend threw up something new. Rolling hills with every kind of green shade; the deep valley; the red and white flowers peeping out through the greens; the crystal clear waters in the natural pools; the sparkling river appearing and disappearing.

Enjoying the panoramic view of the Khasi Hills
