Dear Friends,

Welcome to my blog and appreciate you for being here!!!!!

I am continuing with my travel series on a daily basis as I believe there is enough materials for covering many months from now. In continuat. Please read on..
ion with yesterday's village trip today my trip id from the same district, a hilly location which has been mezmerised by Dicaprio.

"If there is a paradise on earth, it is here", this is said none other than Titanic fame Oscar award winner Hollywood actor Leonardo Di Caprio after seeing the pleasing beauty of Ramakkalmedu, a hill station place also as there are many wind mills installed in many parts across this small area. and a small town along the border with Tamil Nadu situated in Idukki district.

A destination which is not much popular but very much attractive with its geographical terrain and bright landscape all around. For those who are fond of myths this place is linked with Lord Rama too as the name implies, Rama – Kal- Medu which literally means Land of Rama’s Stone. It is a windy place too where you can so many wind mills installed all around.

We parked our car and started moving towards the entrance and saw there were two roads that one goes to a not so difficult hilly terrain and the other towards a strata of rocks like a small hill to be climbed with little difficulty for those who would like to. We chose the second one first and even then it was not clear what this trip is all about. As we climbed little by little sometimes through very narrow space spending enough time for photos and selfies, the view from every point was changing to different landscapes. Many couples and groups were also seen keenly enjoying this trekking if it can be called so.

After few minutes we were in a plane area from where we could see Tamil Nadu on the other side. And still the rocks to be climbed stood tall at a fair distance with few people atop. We decided to move further towards with the hope of climbing the peak through the cleared pathway among the plane.

It’s not fair to judge that only the mesmerizing beauty that makes a trip a memorable one, but the geographical profile of the nature especially in such unhabitated place too may be worth in terms of scenic beauty. Few steps towards the small rocky mountain revealed one such rare sight. On the right side huge rock of gigantic size and left to it breath taking deep valley leaving so little space that only one person can walk at a time. There was some villages or town far away in the valley spread across on a vast area. Two of the friends tried walking in that narrow space available to see how far they can go and to see what surprise there on the other side, but nothing special though.

Wind started blowing in a heavy pace as we climbed and it doesn’t took much time to reach the top just below one set of rocks with just enough width for one human being size can fit between them.

Few visitors were already on top and I have to defy my age to overcome the slight fear to force myself climb up to be honest. But the spectacular geography of the nature all around looking from the peak was another marvelous sight to be cherished for a long time.

On one side it was Tamil Nadu looking far down covering a huge area, nothing substantial for human eyes to notice though. What surprised me to ponder too, how states were marking the borders as I was standing in kerala and if drop a stone on to left it would fall on Tamil Nadu.

Hope you all enjoyed my trip too
