We, the four Started over night journey from ernakulum to theni. Bus connectivity was good, we didn't wait much. Started from theni to bodi(Bodinayakkanur) and then to kurangini, also known as bottom station. This was the last station of the old ropeway that carried tea chests from Munnar. 12km trek from kurangini to top station is not a easy job, we planned well to carry biscuits, glucose and sufficient water. We started at 6:24 in the morning from kurangini and reached central station at 8:30 am. Central station is like a village in hinterland is about 4-5 km from the bottom station. We met locals, two kids and their father taking them to home for vacation from bodi to some place after top station. We went along with them talking and taking short cuts. Had sharbath at Central station which boosted us. Not more than 10 families living at Central station. You won't find anything else except one shop. Path throughout the trek was quite good. Birds sound, flowers, fresh breeze which says hello when you feel tired, mountains, to take a snap for the cover pic, you don't need to google for it, just a one click in 360°, Amazing mountains around you. You can see kolukkumalai, worlds highest organic tea plantation at 2300m above sea level. There will be a story to discuss about it in future. Skip it. Horses carry things from bottom to top station. Imagine, a guy from central station forgot to bring one item among the list of groceries. Horrible right!
Central to top station is another 7 km kilometers where you will see wonderful sceneries. We reached finally with a sweat and smile to top station. We are at 2200m above the sea level. It took four hours for us I.e., 10:30. Had a good breakfast and returned to ernakulum by bus. Luckily we got every bus in time to preferred location.
There are bunch of tourism locations within the kottagudi valley. Kottagudi, kurangini, middle station or Central station, top station, kolukkumalai, yellapatty.
Weather from top station to Munnar was inexpressible. You guys can read about MUNNAR in previous posts.
