Dense forest, wild sounds of birds and buzzing of bees

Now it seems like Temple run, me being chased by some beast at the back

Road is too rough

Day 72
Always known for the greenery and the landscapes, Kerala is a land where one can find cleanest beaches as well as mountaneous treks. One of the shortest and easiest trek is Paithalmala. Covering only 4 kms of trekking route through dense forest and road of hardly 1 to 2 feet width, it is really worth visiting for one day outing.
