Day 1
On our way to munnar from Kochi
1. Cheeyappara waterfall
It is between neriamanga m and adimali in idukki district. It Cascades down in 7 steps. Nice place to see and photography. But it is on highway so you can not spend much time there.
2. Spice Garden
There are many spice garden on the highway.
At the entrance they told you they have chocolate factory and show how they make chocolate from coco but when you enter they just tell you theory of it. But good thing is you can see how spices are grown. Especially cardamon, cinemon, black pepper and some medicinal plants and of course their spice shops also. But if you really want to purchase some spices don't be in hurry. thekkady is good place to purchase them

We had our stay in Anachal so we visited Ayappa Temple. In campus there are nagraj and ganesha temple as well. It's architect is similar to sabarimala Temple
