These places remind me of how much beautiful India is

Oru valiya thaniya long ride poitu vanten.
Mostly na group ah than ela pakkamum poirukan. Thaniya ponathu cinama, lunch and random lakeside than.
Trip planning lam epovum na than panuven so, athirappilly ku polama nu ketan but my bad luck yarum varala
But enaku epdiyachu antha waterfall ah intha monsoon peak la, parthe aganum nu irunchu.

Planning
Bike ondru, oru raincoat, tyre inflator, oru water bottle aprom konjam paalkova last but important confidence

The Day
Coimbatore — Morning 6am - bike chain ku lube adichutu, air check panitu oru vegathula bike ah eduthuten. Oru chinna jerk irunthutae irunchu but pathuklam nu petrol fill panitu kelambiten.
1.5 hour nalla highways la verati otitu poi Vadakancherry la breakfast saptutu partha Full ah black clouds ☁️** drizzle start aachu**…
Still pathuklam nu Thrissur cross paniten.. monsoon rains ⛈️⛈️ nalla start agiruchu, Rain coat potum I got drenched.
Chalakudy reach agitu 🪫oru break eduthen sooda oru tea ah potutu last 30km start pannen. Already tired agiten rain la bike ride pani. 🔋
My mind - Ithulam unaku thevaiya nu oru kelvi ketuchu….

The grand welcome
** **Slow ah apdiyae western ghat forest 🌳 ⛰️ kulla enter aachu. Nalla dense ah irunchu but instead of fear, the moment i opened my helmet visor, the breeze 😌 cleared my mind just like that.
After 3.5 hours of riding my bike, came the viewpoint. I saw the glimpse of falls and my heart just raced faster and then i got welcomed my 🌊THE NIAGRA OF SOUTH INDIA - Athirappilly waterfalls.
** **I quickly parked the bike and rain started. I took the tickets, walked down the path to falls

My breakpoint
** **Falls oda sound ah ketathum I got excited to the core. Fast ah trek 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️ panni base viewpoint reach panen. Shorts layum reels layum matumae partha falls ah avlo kita parthen.
i got mesmerized and my mind went blank. Water vilugura sound continues ah idi vilugura mari irunchu… water vilunthu mist ah mari saaral adichutu.
I clicked a few photos, settled down on a rock, ate my paalkova and felt so complete 🍃
Sometimes romba think pannama panra vishayangal kooda nimmathi ya tharum pola…
Worth every minute of travel…

Already romba perusa poiruchu… balance nadantha sambavangal ah next post la vena soldren..

Thought of sharing it here — Romba yosikama seiyanum nu nenaikratha seinga… success oh failure oh journey will be a memory

Took me 6 hours to assemble. A day well spent 😌
Worth the time and money.

Itha start panum bothu en mind full ah tension and when i saw the puzzle coming together, felt so relieved.

Tried my hands on these assemblies brought by my friend from Japan. Took 6 hours to assemble the pagodas and 4 hours to assemble the Bonsai. Im planning to start collectives on them.

My friend brought these DIY assemblies from Japan. I absolutely fell in love with this activity again. Remembered my childhood days. It took 6 hours to assemble the 5 story pagodas and 4 hours for the bonsai.
