Missed out Ponmudi deliberately as their is nothing in Ponmudi only barren rock hills. Not even a good restaurant. Only one is KTDC Restaurant (within 50km radius) which has average food which are priced exorbitantly (Because of no competition). Also a small resort is their near to Ponmudi called Duke Forest but is a bit expensive.

Last week I had a visit to one of the most beautiful destination in Kerala known as ”Wayanad” which is a very famous place around the world. One of my best friends was there with me along the journey throughout, which made the journey more fabulous. We both had a dream of an adventurous trip, which was successfully fulfilled by this journey. The journey was all about greenery, hill stations, waterfalls, and trekking. All the way throughout the journey was simply superb, you could just sit back and watch the natural beauty itself would make you amazed. We also had a boating at Banasura dam which was remarkable. The dam itself was so beautiful but since we visited at afternoon it was so sunny but otherwise it was stunning. We had booked tour packages to Wayanad which made our journey carefree and more enjoyable. All the bookings and accommodation were taken care by the dealers.

Have you tried to contact a tour operator? They are reasonable without the headache.

I agree with @SankarNarayanan.

If you are planning to visit Kanyakumari, then must halt at Suseendram which is enruote to Kanyakumari and on the highway itself.

I presume you will be staying at Kanyakumari (to see the sunrise?) and if that is the case, on your return (after seeing the sunrise, finish your breakfast) you can halt at Suseendram which will be the ideal time to visit that temple.?!

As of now canceled the kerala trip and would be doing kerala next year.
Thanks for the replies.
