                        So got fresh, changed our attire and got off to see the famed Edakkal Caves.

                        First pic of the day from our room.


                        The view from the other side.....


                        Phantom Rock 2 kms





                        the view from the quarry... we thought the headlike structure on the right side was the phantom rock...






                        climbing back down....


                        But then, we saw some group of tourists and climbing a different route..
                        Then I imagined that it might be the REAL PHANTOM ROCK!!!!. So just followed them.


                        The real phantom rock..




                        The scenery on the other side...





                        Rubber plantations...







                        Then we realized that we needed to reach the base of the caves by travelling in the Jeep.


                        The edakkal hermitage.. would love to stay here..


                        Enroute to the gate of the caves...



                        The bamboo groves on the way...



                        Foot of the caves









                        View from gate 2


                        we thought the climb was over...












                        The steepness of the mountain...







                        90 pc of the people who came here.. would have stopped at gate number 2.. See the caves and get back..

                        Crawling throught the holes to get the view of the actual mountain...


                        Rope Climbing....


                        view from half way up..




                        But infront of us was one young lady.. she was climbing as if she was a snake.. slithering through the rocks..
                        I guess she was the one who inspired us..

                        Slithering girl


                        look at the sand on the rocks.. whcih makes it even more tougher...


                        Vertical Limit




                        And yeah after some time, that young Snake was here too..
                        Just gave her a wry smile.. and she did smile back.. I guess it was for our efforts..

                        The view from the top,....


                        a butterfly on the top..


                        The green fields


                        On top of wayanad.


                        The beeline to climb it... while returning back...


                        A cave and some inscriptions inside it.. supposed to be some 4500 years old..







                        This is the one which we climbed...




                        Will update Mysore journey very soon.

                            All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence
