Munnar Bike Trip #13
Day #3
Munnar - Devikulam - Pooppara - Theni - Periyakulam - Kodaikkanal
The rain wasn't showing signs of letting up, but we didn't let it
bother us. The weather had its plans, we had ours. No one's
stopping for the other. We left shortly after breakfast, and rode on
towards Kodaikkanal. This was a shot taken at the side of the
road. The world, though blurred by rain, isn't short on colour.
Once more, with feeling. This stretch had a bit of everything.
Pouring rain & blazing sun, dense fog and clear skies, winding
ghat roads and flat plains. The road even wound through a minor
forest fire of sorts. Everything was ablaze on either side of the
road.
We reached Kodaikkanal in the afternoon with the whole town shrouded
in thick fog. A good hour spent in finding a place to stay paid rich
dividends! We got this awesome isolated cottage with a complete
valley in its backyard.
Kodaikkanal off season is frequented purely by honeymooners. We
stuck out like sore thumbs. We did a bit of sight-seeing, but not
many photographs because of the failing light. This is one of the
sights about the place. It's called "Suicide point" or
something, my memory fails me.
