Those beautiful places on earth

A tweet took me back to Peerumade and the one day trip that we made to that place. Just like Munnar and Ooty, even Peerumade and Kuttikanam have changed. Since the tea estates no longer seems to be viable much land has been sold (illegally one presumes) and many cottages and buildings have sprung up. More educational institutions too have been built since the climate is good and it is far away from the usual distractions.

A resort up on a steep mountainside astonished me and we thought of exploring it. I remember climbing that mountain and finding lost or wandering cows and even small caves where wild animals made their home. No idea how this place was given up for a resort. The road that leads to it goes through the estate where I once lived and it is very narrow and steep.



We found none when we reached there.


 Maybe because it is the monsoon time and hence off season. Water source is a small dam built at the bottom of the resort.



One can see Kuttikanam and much of Peerumade from the spot.


Maybe next time one should book early and stay at least one night out here in the wilderness before more buildings come up and take away all the charm.
