Moonilavu - Accidental journey to heaven

I wake up from sleep around 4 AM on a Saturday. Watched TV for 2 hrs. but couldn't glue to it. After bath I was confused what to do, I want to go somewhere but not sure where to go. I started of my journey towards Moovattupuzha, called my colleague Bijosh on the way who is residing in Moovattupuzha. I have heard abt. "Moonilavu" in somewhere but not sure about the route. Bijosh told me "namukku chodichu chodichu pokam". At last we found the route, Movattupuzha > Thodupuzha > Muttam > Melukavu > Moonilavu. We reached moonilavu around 11 am. I was disappointed because it was only a small village and nothing of much scenic beauty. We parked th vehicle and asked a jeep driver about the place. He told us that there are many picnic attractions, But these places are only accessible by jeep only. His name is sibi, and he was willing to show us around. We started our journey in his jeep .
At first it was like any other ordinary road, after few Km. the climb started. Sibi changed the jeep to "hanuman gear" and the climb was becoming steeper and steeper. We passed sibi's house and I came to know that only by jeep or by walk he can reach home. We reached the top of the climb and stopped the vehicle. Sibi told us the place is called "Pazhukkakanam". He also added that on a sunny day you can even see "sea" from here. The cool breeze added more re freshness to the scene.

Suddenly the rain came with blowing wind, we took shelter inside the jeep. It was amazing sight rain over the hills. After about half an hour the rain stopped and we resumed our journey. Next we saw a water falls nearby, But I am sorry I don't remember the exact name of it. it was almost 1 PM and we began to feel hungry. We started our journey back with a lot beautiful memories. I take this opportunity thank my colleague " Bijosh" and our navigator cum driver " Sibi ".
