Today we restarted our trek early morning.
More beautiful scenery and more climbing and trekking brought us to a tribal village. We mingled with the local people and the children in the village and spent some time there.
The group from Edinburgh had a lot of fun giving the tribal children a lesson in performing arts at the tribal school in the village. The kids too, thrived in the attention, and showed off their prowess. The group mingled well and everyone seemed to have a real good time.
The tent pitching competition was held at the camp in Suryanelli. The competition was rather challenging with the wind blowing hard and disrupting the groups trying valiantly to pitch their tents. The wind speed at the camp here was insane!
Suryanelli is an enchanting hill resort near Munnar in Idduki District. It is enriched with the scenic western mountain ranges and an ideal place for a break. Suryanelli has a beautiful lake, surrounded by tea plantations. Anayirankal Dam and Power House Waterfalls are next to this spot.
Tomorrow a 14 km trek awaits! Log in for more as we progress...
