Date of trip: June 2006
Travel time: About 2 hours from campus
Mode of transport: Biking or Jeep
Duration: Day trip
Cost: Rs 250 per head
Nature of trip: Trek
Don’t leave home without: Covered shoes (there be leeches in the monsoons), sunscreen, water, caps, salt (for leeches), camera (extra charge of Rs 50/- for camera use)
Recommendations: The view is amazing during the monsoons, with the waterfalls in full force. But you could go for hikes in the dry season too. Order a meal at the lodge before you set out on your trek, and have a full traditional Malyali meal waiting for you when you come back (with red rice and fish fry). Groups of 5-6 work best.
Highlights:
Getting soaked to the skin in the waterfall.
'Ahhhh!!! Is that a leech on my leg? Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!!!'
The thrill of adventure sports for those who went ahead to the bigger waterfalls
The famous 'Bala can swim' video
