First day in our manjolai trip -- Manjolai Trip - 2

Hi frens!!

Hope u have seen the photos I have uploaded in my previous blog. In this blog I will explain our journey experience & how we spent two days here. (Most of the places in manjolai are not covered by GSM/CDMA service provider. U r totally isolated. Ok lets start our journey from tirunelveli!!!

Saturday (11/02/2006) early morning 5.45 we started from tirunelveli in the sumo. We packed all the necessary items which include water, snacks & bedding.

We reached ambai by 7.00. We ordered our break fast in hotel gowri sankar. By 7.30 we started from ambai to manimutthar. While traveling towards manimuthar my cousin karthik wishes to visit singampatti zamin palace. The driver was very co-operative. He arranged a meeting with Singampatti zamin. (We din expect really this from the driver). The meeting was extended up to 9. We visited zamin’s museum, palace & anthapuram.

From manimutthar police check post

After our royal meeting with the zamin we rushed to manimutthar. The dam was full because of the early rain in the place. While entering in to manimutthar, there is a police check post. If you are going by ur private vehicle till manjolai, u have to carry the permission letter. Plenty of water, no one was there in the manimutthar water falls. We really enjoyed the bath after a long time.

On the way to manjolai

Then we headed towards manjolai. (The journey takes one hour from manimuttar to manjolai). We had our break fast in side the forest. The journey was too good. We spotted some wild animals on the way. We din met any two wheeler/four wheeler in our path till we reached manjolai. (except some workers who are laying the road there) Climate was little hot. Initially we thought why others told us to carry warm cloths? In some places our ear got blocked because of the height. From that spot the temperature started falling down.

Around 12 we reached manjolai. We reached the spot...Now what to do???
