It was our dream to visit the place where dad was working, from the day he got transferred to Idukki. For 1 long year he worked there but we never got a chance to go there. And at last, there came a day where he got placed near our home itself, after continuous prayers of my mother. She was in vein from the day he left here. Now we are all having two reasons to be happy. one- dad is coming home and everything is going to be like earlier :) and two- we are all going to bring dad back so that we can see that place too :D.
It happened all of a sudden,we dint even got a chance to plan anything. One Saturday evening he called and told to come with uncle, since he got his relieving letter and he have to leave soon. My mum was so happy and me too. so everything was planned. we went to sleep early that night, so that we can wake up early at 2 next morning and start our journey in uncles xylo...
I was so much exited when we start our journey. It was at 3 am, Sunday. On the way it was too cold and dark outside, so the only thing I got to do that time was to sleep inside the car. At 6.00 am i opened my eyes and we were at Ranni then. It started to get colder and colder. And we were approaching high range, with hair pins and deep steeps along one side and hills touching the sky and fog at the top of each hills.
I lyked those small streams running through rocks a lot. It was damn amazing.
And once you step into that water, you never want to step back. Its ice cold and so pure like mirror.
And we continue our journey and reach Kattappana where my dad waited for us. We headed towards Idukki dam then.And at first we reached somewhere behind the dam.
From there we went to The hill view. Just words are not enough to describe that place. I never felt like to go back from there. It was such an amazing place, water, hills and fog all around with heavy wind.
From there we went headed towards Munnaar. Iwont recommend that place to anyone as if there were only tea plantations to see I think.
And went to see Attukaal waterfalls were a bad idea....
The next day morning my dad got send off from his bank. And from there we went to Raamakkalmedu, which was another beautiful place. And the wind was so strong there that i felt as if I am going to fly.
We dint planned to go to Thekkadi. When we passed through that place, it was mums idea, to visit there too. I was been to there when I was a small kid and that place has changed a lot in the long run.
It was only a part of the dense forest. And i felt like the forest is holding some mystery in its deeper darks. And there were only monkeys there. And no more animals.
And that's the end of our journey.................................................................
