plans for the destination. Anyhow, I left it for my intuition to decide and ordered the wheels to roll.

1. Kuttiyadi Dam (Peruvannamoozhi Dam)
2. Kakkayam Dam.
Now after filling up the tank and waiting at the petrol bunk, it was time to make my decision. The brain got confused and refused to answer, but the heart always has its answer. The heart chose the Latter; Kakkayam Dam.

| The Route |
Let me give you a brief introduction of the place.

| The very first falls |

| Yet another beautiful falls |

It was a good 14 km up the hill through a narrow and zigzagging ghat road. But hats off to the concerned department for keeping the tarmac in such a superb condition despite the monsoon and constant landslides. The road was narrow that two cars can not pass by. Both sides were covered with dense green plants that added to the beauty of the road.

| What a view |
After a good 45 min into the ride I approached a small parking area that had just three or four cars parked there and a few bikes. The lady there asked me to produce the ticket. After showing her the ticket, I turned around to see what was waiting for me.
OH MY GOODNESS!! What a sight. It took my breath away. And my heart skipped a few beats. That was Marvelous maaaaan!!. Such a beautiful sight along with that cold climate was taking me away from the world. No words can possibly describe the feeling I had at the time. No camera in the world can capture that beauty. A natures scenic sight can give you goose bumps only if clubbed with the climate you experience there. Its one of the reason people spend huge amount of money to go to their favorite location. If beauty can be experienced from a picture, a downloaded image would have done wonders.

The police requested me to fill up and sign their register where I should provide my details. That also include a column for Home land line number so that they can inform them if something goes wrong.

Some Snaps at Dam site

| I was not alone there |
I was actually planning to return after taking a few snaps at the dam site, but was informed about a waterfall another 1.5 km ahead. The watch informed me that it was already 5:10 pm . I did not offer my obligatory evening prayers. Confused again.
