Get toghether - Annamai PG 1990 - Part2

I had a nice sleep for almost 8 hrs. Morning I walked on the road towards Walparai to check for any water resource to take bath. There was a canal, which is from upper Aliyar and store the water in the lower Aliyar dam. The canal was very narrow and the water was flowing in a high speed as the reservoir was few yards from that place. Chock annan, Sekar, MS, Manoj & Sugi joined me.

We went towards the upper Aliyar along the canal bed to see a safety place to take bath. We had a nice bath there. The water height was neck level. We swim in the canal for some time. It was really a new experience for all of us.

We went to room and went to Vethathiri Maharishi temple. It was calm place. We spent one hr there and went to Aliyar dam in the van. Took some photos and started towards Kerela. On the way we went to Masani Amman temple. It was almost noon.

After having the Dharisanam, we went to Malampuzha dam. We had lunch there. It was not so good. The we went in the cable car ride. In Malampuzha, there is a water game place. Kids were very much interested in going there. Especially Kanmani, Manoj, and Krithi. Some of us not interested in it.One group went to the water games and the other group went to the dam park.

Guru, Sathish and MS went for a ride in the toy train. Praba, myself, Mrs. Sekar, Aruna and Geetha went inside park and also visited the hanging bridge. We started from there at 7:00 pm and reached Pollachi at 9:00. Mrs. Sugi and Masha joined us in the hotel. Chock annan cut the cake (get togethar cake) and we had some fun. Mani arranged a buffet and every one enjoyed the dinner. It was a nice dinner.

MS. family and Sekar family left to CBR as they have booked the return ticket for Saturday. Mani and Chocks requested them to stay back every one until Monday. But they wanted to go back home. They also convinced Kodi to stay back until Monday. (As we have booked the rooms in Top Slip on Sunday night). I told them if I get flight for Monday, I was ready to stay.

We gave send off to MS and Sekar families and took rest in the hotel. Next day morning I tried ticket through yatra.com and I booked flight for Monday Noon from CBR. Prabakar planned to return on Sunday morning, said he will come with us for the Thirumoorthy fals and from there he will go to CDM. We went to Thirumoorthy falls. We walked for 20min. (2km.) and reached the falls.

Thirumoorthy hills was not too steep and the height of falls is normal (it is betterthan the monkey falls). The water was very chill and great force. We took nice bath there and went to Thirumoorthy temple situated at the foot of Thirumoorthy hills. The temple has a Amalingeswarar Idol, which looks like a nacked kid doing sirasasanam.

Prabakar also decided to stay back and decided to come with us to Top Slip. We went to Pollachi room, had lunch and vacated the room. It was almost 4:00 pm so we have decided to send one van back. We started in one van and two cars.

I went with Prabakar in one car to get dinner (Sungam Biriyani). One van and a car left to Top Slip. They reached there in time. On the way Sugi called his brother and arranged for accomodation. It was realy great that Sugio got a dormatry for us. We had only two room booked before that(32 people!!!!!!!!!!!!).

After reaching ther we saw Elephants, Deer. Kids were playing throw ball for almost two hours. Then we went to the room to finish our dinner as the night saffari was delayed. We went for night saffari at around 9:30 pm. It was a thrilling experience in the night. We saw elephants, bisons and deer.

We went to bed around 11:30pm. Morning we got up at 7:00 am and started in JPS car to CBR. It was a pleasant tour organized in a short duration and every one enjoyed it. Thanks to Mani, Prabakar, Sudhakar, Mani, Sekar, MS, Kodi, Sugi, Chock Annan for making this trip grand success. We will arrange similar trips at regular interval so that we will relax from our routine work.

I was telling my friend Shyam(he is now in India) that we can go for a family trip during Dec. end. But I made a different group trip and I missed to meet him with family.
