The ‘God’s Own Country’ this year experienced one of the harshest Summers of the recent past. Palakkad - my home town, saw a maximum temperature of 41 degrees. The Summer Showers though came in late, did provide some respite from the scorching heat. On the 12th of May I had an engagement at Kochi. Since the Rain Gods started showing some mercy already, I thought of driving up to Rajakkad near Munnar for a much needed break from the blistering days.
This is a Photologue on my recent drive to Munnar for the rains, the drive along the hills and of course some birding. Though I have visited this ‘heaven on earth’ multiple times, it was different this time around as I had my little angel – my little baby girl- with me. Staying wasn’t any of my concerns as I have a close relative of mine living near Rajakkad – home away from home kind.
After having spent a couple of days at home, thought of venturing out. The plan was NOT to visit any crowded usual picnic spots but some laid back drive along the Tea gardens and the winding roads. Could manage to squeeze in a couple of mornings and start off as early as 6.00 am- only for sheer driving pleasure, Nature and some photography.
A teaser to start with and more coming up !
