Again to Wagamon- A New Experience for me

It would have been a usual trip to Wagamon if I wasnt informed by one of my friend about what all is seen below .

Wagamon is some 120 kms from my Home. Wagamon is on the borders of the Idukki and Kottayam districts in Kerala. Its a hill station and pilgrimage area too..

Started my journey at 6a.m. from my home.. My bike was in the worst condition when I made this trip.. It had oil leaks and the engine had lost its pickup and I was afraid whether it would climb the hair pin curves of this hill.. After this journey it was in the workshop for one week.

I reached the Peermed Junction(or Marian College Junction) at 10 a.m.
Had food -3 parattaas(Kerala's own food) and egg curry.

From Peermed its left to Wagamon and its right to Parunthinpara..
I never knew about Parunthinpara.

It was around 5 kms from Peermed junction

Pine forests near Peermed. Its really cool here
On the way I took some rest in the Pine forest and some snaps too. But what I visualized didnt show up in my Photographs.



After all this stuff moved to Parunthumpara...




The hill from its sides... It looks like the sides of an Eagle and also seems similar to the sidelooks of Rabindranath Tagore
For this reason its named Parunthumpara(Parunth means Eagle in Malayalam) or Tagore para


OMG .. Its a long way to climb back
