When you see from outside travelling to Kodanad view point, you cannot see this hidden place. Quiet Calm for Nature lovers and birders. Endemic birds can be easily identified here. Clearly a good place to trek for all age categories.
It was an amazing experience . Short , beautiful kids friendly trek..Dense forest. and it was fully covered with fog.. Beautiful.. we saw the fresh tiger and leopard paw prints and variety of tree.. The trek guide Mr.Tamilan was very friendly and informative..
Wonderful initiative. This easy trek was doable for families with children. The guides were knowledgeable and the route is really beautiful, going through an old well preserved forest.
The best view comes after the hardest climb...
A fine trip in dense forest.. Good guide and service.
