Days in Highrange

Gopika on top of the rock.

Nandana, gopika, appu, hari and sree at Thookkupalam.

We enjoyed the freedom....

Hari and Sree with their cousins on the top of a huge rock at Thookkupalam. Thookkupalam(means hanging bridge) is a main city in Idukki District. Thookkupalam 'Chanta' (market) is famous for transaction of cattles. Now a wind energy station is coming in Thookkupalam, attracting a lot of tourists. High range tourism is a bit more adventureous than back water tourism. Trekking wild life areas and travelling through forests.... Here in Thookkupalam tourists make temporary huts in the top of big mountains and enjoy the freedom of nature.
High range tourism includes Periyar wildlife sanctuary(Thekkady), Idukki wild life sanctuary, Munnar famous for hillstation and Neelakurinji flowers, Thattekkad bird sanctuary, Mattuppetty, Thommankuth waterfalls, Eravikulam national park and Chinnar wildlife sanctuary.
Sree was in good company with nandu chechi.

We enjoyed the trip to Highrange..A lot of space to play with Nandu, appuchetta and Mahesh chettan.

Beauty of nature from Elappara

Elappara is a main town in Edukki district. This place is famous for Tea Estates. This place is only 4 km from the famous tourist spot Vagamon. The idyllic beauty of Vagamon makes it a suitable place for a pleasureful picnic spot in a non polluted atmosphere. We can not forget the journey through Elappara because of the winds with full of energy and the hills covered with tea plants. Mostly the workers in these tea estates are Tamilians. If you are intersted to spend a day in a non polluted atmosphere have a trip to Highrange...... Vagamon is a place of hills and meadows(mottakkunnu)..
