South Tamilnadu (Week End Trip) => In & Around Nagercoil(Kaalikesam Falls)

Hi readers, I am continuing the places I visited in nagercoil, with the previous post.

     It was the month of june, when my project was in the full swing, I was in the situation of working on Sundays also. One fine Sunday, my work was completed at 11:30hrs. So me and my colleague decided to visit Kaalikesam.

    Kaalikesam is situated in the Keeriparai forest range which is 51kms from my place and 15kms from Nagercoil. This place is famous for its dense forest and rubber plantations everywhere. A kaali temple is very famous, which is situated by the side of the stream. It is a remote place where there is no proper transportation. One could use their own vehicle to reach this place. 

 

    We started to kaalikesam at 12:00hrs. En route gave us breathe taking view of beautiful mountains and greenery everywhere. Travelling for nearly an hour and quarter, we halted to have tea and snacks at Thaddikkarankonam. We started from there and made our travel towards the falls. One will never hesitate to stop enroute to take pictures. Watch showed 13:30hrs and we were near the kaali temple. There was another road going up the hill which leads to the Balamore tea estate. One cannot go in this route without the permission of the forest department. But we left the bike there and started to walk along the falls for 1 km which is not safe as wild animals may be wandering there any time. We got down from the road somewhere in between the trees and had the most beautiful scene of the falls. The river is rocky and the water is crystal clear.
 

 

 

     My colleague stepped in to the flowing water to have a bath as the weather was hot. I was as usual clicking the pictures. One who loves nature and beauty will never feel like leaving that place.

   

 My watch ticked 16:00hrs and we decided to start back home as I have to travel for another one hour and quarter. The experience was really amazing and nostalgic.

 

I will be writing about one more place in my next writing.

Kindly feel free to give your feedbacks and queries.
