Parunthum para-beautiful hill point from Highrange


It was a rainy evening with lightening




Wide angle view of the site



Hari, Achu and Soorya on the hill top. One thing I noticed that here its effortless to reach this top point. When I went to Ramakkalmedu it was a painful effort to reach the highest peak. For adventurous trekking experience my suggestion will be Ramakkalmedu...




Gazing cows .....





Its 914 meters above sea level!!!!






Its clouds .... like a stream .....










It was not a pre planned trip to Parunthum para. It is a hill station in Idukki District of Kerala. It is in Peerumedu Taluk. Nearly 80Km from Kottayam town. Through the way we can see rubber plantations, tea plantations and the rich greenery of Western ghats.
It was a rainy evening. We can not spend much time because of raining and lightning. Vehicles can reach the hill top. Its a cool place with calm and serene atmosphere.
Grazing cows, sharp edged rocks and grassy lands makes this a popular tourist centre. 'Parunthu' means eagle and 'para' means rock. Another unexplored scenic spot from High range. From the hill top we can see mountains covered with snow. Small tea shops 'Chayakkada' with hot tea and ethnic snacks of Kerala are also there. There are no barricades in the hill top because of that we have to care more about the children, didn't allowed them to play and wander. Anyway its a nice location for a joyous week end. This location is also known as 'Grampi'.



Whenever we enter into High range area we can feel the fresh air and taste the fresh water with the natural cooling.

Hi Aswathi:)

Greetings and good wishes:)

Very interesting post and a lovely picnic spot with wonderful refreshing scenery. And as you said, it is a place to breathe unpolluted fresh air which is not available in towns.

Your photos are fantastic and I particularly liked the one with white clouds on the hills looking like a gushing stream with foaming pure white water.

Have a nice day Aswathi:)

Thank you sir for commenting my post. That clouds was an excellent view, after that journey my children always dream about that clouds flowing like a stream.
