Munnar Travel & Shopping :)

Ladies and Gentelmen,

Here I am with yet another writeup on my Munnar Shopping and travel experience. Read n Njoy our Munnar conversation !!!

Saturday 9th March - Morning 8.30 AM - Me : Renju(my hubby) can we go somewhere, it's been a while I have been to some places.
Renju: Yes we can! Provided you wake up from your bed and get ready fast ;-)
Me     : Okay... well, I would like to go Munnar, what say?
Renju :Why not Wagamon, my Parents wont allow me to drive till Munnar. They get scared of me driving through the hairpin curves.
Me     : Hmmmmm... But I wish to head to Munnar only, somehow I don't like the idea to see Pine trees and hilly areas of Wagamon :-/
Renju & Me : Heated Debate on Munnar vs. Wagamon ( Now time: 9. 30 AM). Finally we concluded on Munnar,  now go and get ready. Will see where we can go.

----Now we both running up and down to get ready and leave. All the bags packed and ready to leave by 10.30 AM. Yipee.. we are heading out..... -----

Finally we reached Munnar by 2.00 'O' Clock and checked in Elisiyum Resort, near to Munnar town. From the resort, you get a beatiful view of the hilly mountain areas of Munnar. At the time temperature was quite mild, not so hot and not too cold. We immediately left the hotel for sight seeing in Matupetti route. 15 km from hotel, we reached the Echo point in Munnar. We parked our car, and went to see the spot. Eventhough we both have seen these places before, It was the first time we went there together. The echo point was much crowded with college students from Tamil nadu. Youthfull Guys and Ladies, all in their top voices yelling in echo point  ;-). We dint find it much romantic to stay there for more than 3 minutes to take a snap at all. Left the area, and went for street shoppping and mouth watering eateries on the road side.

As a shopoholic person, it's manadotry for me to keep my levels of shopping. My helpless husband just kept starring of my anxiety in moving from stall to stall seeign all the glittering bags and earrings :-). Meanwhile ther were few collge girls beside me bargaining on the items in shop, asking "ithu yevallow villai". Oyeah! I learned some Tamil some them. It says - "How much does it cost". Gee... guys I know I am making it a bit elaborate, just bear with it.

Ok, now it's time I stop blabbering and share with you guys the items I shopped. See below:


Colse up of my Jewellery accessories. All these costed - Rs. 235:

Now see some of our Munnar snaps:

 4: Kalvery Mount - Idukky


After a funfilled day in Munnar, we headed to Idukky the very next day. Piling to almost 46 km from Munnar. Oh cant say, I hated that journey to Idukki, full of twists and turns. :-/

After reaching there our first visit was to Idukky DAM. The famous DAM as I studied in my geography lessons( and first time seeing) were built between 2 adjacent mountains. See snap below:

And then to Kalvery Mount, the picture posted below. That was an amazing view. The walkway to Kalvery Mount is very steep and hectic, we climbed there in the afternoon, so you can imagine how exhausted we were in the scorching heat in the mountain areas, but it was all worth seeing the view from the top. See below:


And here goes one pic of "OURS": In Kulamavu DAM - Munnar

Well well all in all it was a happy journey, came back Sunday evening. Got freshen up and headed to Sivaratri festival in adjacent temple to our home. That's all for this time. Hope you Enjoy reading it.... :)
