Manjolai - Unrevealed heaven of south tamil nadu -- Manjolai Trip - 1

I have been to MANJOLAI last week. I wanted to share my experience with all of u.
A brief intro is needed for manjolai. (Eventhough my native is very near to this place I have not been here till now) It is situated near southern tip of western ghats. Lots n lots of greenary - Tea plantaion, where ever u turn ur head u can spot only one colour that is green.

There are some view points from this, u can spot so many dams situated near by.

Height 6000ft MSL
Temperature Very chill
Road condition Poor (now they are laying roads there)
Emergency needs Nothing (puncture,fuel etc etc everything we have to take care)

In my next blog I will explain about our trip in detail. Enjoy our trip photo in this blog.
