India - trip to Thekkady, Idukki

in Pinmapple3 months ago (edited)

We are ready for our trip to Thekkady, Idukki district.
We wanted to visit Ayurvedic garden, see Navarasa, elephants, and go on a safari.
Our host Rexoni organized a nice bus for us:

The drive was very interesting, as usual.
First we stopped at Valanjamkanam waterfall right next to the road.
I think that was the dirtiest street I've ever seen until then.
Many people stop here to grab something to eat or drink.
Some brushed their teeth here with this water:

... or like this guy, his shoe:

Around the small chapel is clean:

I liked these braided bird houses:

This lady gave us very good guidance, but then charged us 10 times more for Ayurvedic medicine (as we found out later). Spices were also expensive.
This was the only rip-off incident on my trip in India. Everyone was always generous rather than rip us off.

Beautiful fountain edge with satellite dish on it: 😁

The banyan fig also known as the banyan tree or Bengal fig:

We leave quickly our stuff and move on to the elephant park.

Thanks everyone! <3

اضنها رحلة جميلة تمتعتم بها في الهند
انها بلد العجائب

The place you visited is very beautiful, I like seeing the atmosphere of the Indian market which is always busy, the waterfall there also looks very beautiful even though it is small.

yes, it was small.
