About 25 km away from Vellore is Amirthi. It is a nice spot for a weekend getaway if you are at Vellore, or even Chennai. The main attraction is the trek to the waterfall. It is not a difficult trek at all. You just have to walk along a pathway of stones. There is also a mini zoo. This picture was taken on the way to Amirthi.
Munnar is a beautiful town in the hills of Kerala. As I had said earlier, tourists usually forgo the beautiful scenery of Kerala to visit beaches or backwaters that are more readily accessible. Munnar is known for its beautiful tea estates and cool weather.
I remember this little monkey, sitting on the ledge, whining/ moaning in pain. It had been attacked by a group of bigger monkeys and was obviously hurt – physically and probably emotionally as well. Later it jumped into the trees and fled.
