Wah- ya - naadd!!

This post is very old news... but still I would want to write about it. It's all about my trip to Wayanaad [College trip!].

First of all, this is my first known visit to Kerala! [my mom told they took me to Guruvayur when I was some 7 or 8 years old... I don't remember!].

Secondly, Wah-ya-naad[I love saying that way... its really WAH!!] is so beautiful and made me addicted. I decided that after I get married I should come again... and you know for what! And also I should stay in the same Resort - Hotel Green Gates! The most beautiful resort I've seen until now!

Thirdly, I shall begin writing :D

January mid we all were set to go to Wayanaad. It was over 14 hours of journey in train. It was always nice to sit in the train and look outside the window! Nature, people, stations and more you see differently when you cross each place. With a bunch of friends around, one can never feel bored. It was too good. We played, sang, gossiped ;) and ate nicely! Like this foolish idiot I forgot to bring my sweater! Closing Erode, I started shivering and by the next day morning I caught up with cold [Thanks to guru for transferring her's ;)] Early morning we reached Calicut and we have to shift to bus to move on to Wayanaad!

To reach the place, we have to cross 9 hair pin bends I guess! The beauty was superb! Half way we slept off with mouth wide open...as nose was blocked! It was 10.30 a.m in the morning when we reached the Wayanaad view point and would you believe me if I say it was like some 6 am in the morning. The mountains fully covered my mist and fog! We took pictures with our typing teeth!

Then we moved on to resort, refreshed and set to Soochipara falls. To see that small falls, we had to climb down the mountain. After walking so much, we could see a small amount of water coming down called falls! For going to the falls also we need to do rock climbing! Argh... my leg was paining so badly! Thanks to Guru,Sonali, Suchi, Varsha and Priyanka. They literally pulled my hands and got me down there.. It was great fun treaking ... falls I was not that impressed with it [ After seeingJog nothing seems to Impress me!] After that we traveled to visit the tea estates. Ah... it was really beautiful, the way they laid down the roads in between them and the way they have trimmed it was so BEAUTIFUL!

Next day we set off to Kuruva Island! It was not like this island types... but still nice. We have to cross the water to visit the place. We all held hands and was standing in a big row and moved slowly. I was praying I shouldn't fall and thank god I didn't! But I could see Sumi fell, while she was taking pictures! It was slippery ... and our guide helped us move on! But really I must say.. it was too good :) After my Coorg trip, I crossed water again! After crossing we wear walking in some -forest-look-alike- place and was walking walking walkin... and finally reached the end! there was only tress and the island by the side... Already we were tired crossing the river.. so we in a hurry to reach the end point! I did some tea shopping there and left to the hotel for bon-fire!

Next day we went to Edaikal caves. Well, I couldn climb as it was too steep and slippery... already down with fever i had to stay back mid way! My friends said it was too good... but one should take a risk to climb the mountain! Am sure I missed it! Thats okay :( Then we went to Pookote Lake. Lakes' are always beautiful and so did Pookote! We took pictures, did a lot of shopping and set to Calicut again!

Though we missed out on some places due to lack of time, we didn't bother much cos the place we went were so damn BEAUTIFUL and nice! It was just nature and nature's painting all the way! Hope I get to visit the coastal places too! Kerala is definitely a G.O.D's own country!

And Wayanad?? ...... am coming back for sure! :)

Smiling ever :-)
