Trip to Waynad and Calicut

Was having a jinxed up feeling from quite few days. I wanted break from this boring monotonous job life. So started planning for a weekend outing
We made a list of many places and started eliminating them based on distance and rains (Since many places are experiencing heavy rainfalls now) and at last we zeroed in on Waynad. Nobody had much information on this place, what we came to learn later is that waynad is the second highest rainfall region after Chirapunji and Mowsyram!!!!
We started on Friday night at 11:00 and Reached Waynad, Vythri at around 5:00 in the morning. The waynad is like heaven on earth. It is 6000 feet above sea level. Waynad is a place non pareil.
Day 1: We had to park our Car in Vythri itself as our Resort is 9 kms deep inside the jungle and the only way to access it is by a 4WD jeep or by trek.
So we took a jeep till resort. The resort was like a big haunted house from Ramsay movies. There were only 5 people in the resort and all of them were Like straight out of a ghost flick!! They used to stare at us whenever we go out or come in, they never used to speak. To make the matters worse the place was full of leeches!! We had hell time plucking them out of our body. The only other thing which is known to suck blood like leeches is Vampires
And these 5 people in resort were like vampires. My friend had a feeling that they will become vampires in the night and suck our blood .haha!!
Whenever a cloud used to pass the hill (Resort was on the edge of a hill) the resort would be covered by a thick white blanket and wind used to make a Eerie whoooooooooosh kind of sound and it was soo hard that one couldn’t hear what the next person was speaking!! . My friends were already on the verge of nervous breakdown and like last nail in the coffin; my dad called me up and told that Waynad is full of king Cobras!! And asked us to be very careful while walking. The place had no power so we had to walk around the rooms with candles or torch. Had a feeling that we were back in medieval times. The villa in which we were staying had two levels; One at the ground level and other underground!! So my friend murali felt that according to movies , ghosts stay in the underground and after much argument and persuasion I and Mahesh were pushed to sleep in underground !! murali , gopi and prabhu slept above safely. We had to keep the candles burning all through the night and there were strange noises like scratching, running, crawling!! In the room and Mahesh would sit bold upright in the bed even for a slight sound. Finally morning came after a painful sleepless night. Quickly got ready did all the settlements with resort guys and ran for Vythri!! Everyone was relieved to leave the resort.
After coming to Vythri, We resumed our journey to calicut. That’s it for day one :)
Will come up lots of photos and details about day2 and 3 in next post
