This trip was not at all a planned trip. My friend Shoubhodeep's was getting married in Coimbatore and we were going there to attend the function.We were eight people Atul, Body, Harry, Manoj, Rocket, Vimal, Vinay and Me... Marriage was on Monday but the reception was scheduled on Sunday... and we started our journey on Saturday morning itself.
We had hired one Innova for this. that has place for only 7 but we adjusted... We started at 7 in the morning from Takel's apartment... Road was the same familiar NH7 and steering was in Body's hand. Good road and fantastic weather, there was no stopping for Body and that reflected in the speedo when it was crossing 160km/hr so many times...
We took our first break after Hosur at Adyar Anand Bhavan (A2B) and had breakfast... We tried Masala Dosa and Idli bada there... was kinda ok... didn't find anything special...After breakfast, we again hit the road. In the meantime, we were discussing where to go.... One option was that we go to Coimbtore and then try to cover Kodaikanal and other option we thought was Hogenakkal.
We chose Hogenakkal because it was on the way and we could cover it on the same day and next day would be free. So we took the diversion to Hogenakkal and what a place it was.
The falls there were really amazing. We took coracles (that's what they call the local form of small boat ;)) to go around the water there.
One more very interesting thing of the place was little kids... who would jump off from so much heights in the water for just 10/- and leave you open-mouthed.
Some more pics are here.
