coorg

had heard about this hill stn a lot but peeps dint tell me bt the leech community. neverthless it is a nice place.. our journey starts at blore n we drive to srimangala after a fillin bfast of a new cousin of idli n coffee. now we reach our homestays in coffee estates in time for a leftover chicken curry and a much better fried chicken n rice n dal n a funny potato sabzi. (due respects to the food but we peeps from plains are not into potato alternative other than the regular).
so we get set to trek up in rain to iruppu falls equipped with salt n lime leech protection gear..for all you guys who want to avoid those leeches..apply salt n lime on feet n calves..wear boots n carry a lighter..showing leech fire shakes it off they say..
so we all got our leech share..those of us who chalta haid the salt..falls was ok..but our drive along wynad to kerala for dinner was fabbb. fish is different there.
day 2 was white water rafting on ponya estate..what a tea estate n organic coffee..rapids were technical and fun..n then there was the drive to upper coorg..kushalnagar to say hello to buddha n we got to see a sangha meeting and debate...
drove back after a dinner at the tibetan market..
thank god for the weekend breakd
