A weekend in Veerajpet

We had a series of holidays in the first week of November. We decided to drive down to Veerajpet, a southern district, famous for coffee. The Chegappa couple has a house where they accommodate nature lovers with homely food and atmosphere. The Honey Valley estate is an ideal place to spend a couple of days for any nature lovers.

Though they warned us about climbing up with our scorpio, we decided to test the vehicle. We could manage even though we got stuck in one place. ( I don't recommend anyone else to take a chance if the muddy road that leads to Chengappa house is slushy )

We enjoyed the environment and decided to just roam around close to the resort in the first day. Second day, we trekked to Tadiyantanamol, one of the highest peak in western ghats. It was a 16 km trekk through multiple leach palaces. Axe deo was a real savor in this case. ( I found lots of blood and leach bite when I removed my shoe in the evening ). It started raining as we reached top and I should admit, the view from top is something that one should experience.

On return, we came back through Bhagamandala ( bhagandeswara temple), Talacauvery ( birth place of River Cauvery ), Abbe falls in Madikery and the Golden Temple in Kushal Nager.
