Yet another visit to God's Own Country - MUNNAR!!!

I have been longing to do a long trip to Cumbum and surroundings in my Car. But since I only drive in day, it means I need 2 full days for driving. So, I was always waiting for holidays more than 3 days. Luckily with my son also had 10 days holiday from 1st of October. Since we had 1st & 2nd public holiday with Saturday and Sunday usual holiday. I decided to take vacation on 3rd october. There you go I got cool 5 days.

This became a ideal vacation for going to long drive and I had no dificulty in deciding the location near Cumbum. It is Munnar. The thought of me driving through those Bodi mettu and hills made me so excited.

Before I put the full logs and upload the picture, I am putting just a glimpse of the trip now. More to follow when I am back from office

Hi mjothi,

Nice to see that you are travelling almost every week. Saw your travelogues to Bhoganandeeshwara temple, Mysore, Srirangapatna along with some very nice pictures. Keep it up.

Please post the travelogue and pics of Munnar soon.

Best Regards/Satish Prabhu

Nice pics MJ. Keep them coming. Was wondering where you went last week (you mentioned in your earlier travelogue the mysore one).

Do write a detailed travelogue about the route taken, how many kms etc etc. I'am planning to do this during Dec/Jan.

This is coincidence. It was not confirmed even during my Mysore trip. But since you have your own mode of transport, no hassle in planing right?

No. I checked the car physically once its cool. I did not feel anything wrong except for the dent. No leaks or anything. So, giving less priority. Will check whenever I drop in there.
