You have to start from the previous post of hogenekkal if you landed right here..I don't have words to describe this place other than awesome and breathtaking..The lap of nature where she may give u a journey through her wild mysterious beauty..
If you are a tourist and ever plans to come to south India, don't miss this place..The place you seeing now is in the midst of summer, when the river is not in her fury...If you like rafting and diving into deep water, this place is ideal for you..

"The wild green water current"Their are two parts for the journey. Now we are going to the main place where the actual fun begins. ie now we are in one of the branches of the river stream which is joining to the main stream..

"The Fast River Current"The ride is bumpy and is very fun. The boatmen have to direct the boat through the current. Look at the green water, it is very cool- cool in all sense. All of us were really enjoying the boat journey..if you are afraid of rivers, you don't need reason to get a bit nervous when in one of those boats..But believe me its more like a caterpillar ride in an amusement park..The difference is just this is in the Natural way..

"Hmmm we are going near the water falls..At this time we didn't knew the intension of the boat men.." Don't expect the falls will be like this if you are there just after the monsoon.The rocks won't be seen as you are seeing now, ie if you are in a boat in this place at the time of monsoons, your boat will be floated above these rocks and your life won't be anymore in the hands of that boat men rather than God..

"OOPs now i got some signal... The people in the first boat are wet now. the boat men just showed up the boat under a small falls there."If the river is in its fury you wont be going this much close as we went, for it will be THE END". Hey don't be afraid!! Your boatmen know all the whereabouts of the river.

"HMMM its our turn now to get wet.We people were sitting with our arms in our head. But all went in vain..Finally we were all wet. And it was just the starting............."Hey don't think the boatmen are mischievious to all types of people. They know we are youngsters and like some fun in the ride and we enjoyed it mostly..
I have to say this photo is a risky shot for we are under the falls now and were getting wet. The phone too got socked and got some water inside. Anyway the risk took by the photographer gave us this close look of the falls. You can see the main falls too in the picture.

...........Sorry guys the real adventure of the journey started from here...We were unable to capture the main moments for we don't have a water resistant camera. We people were splashing water to other boats and they were splashing on us. In no time all of us were totally wet and even the Basket boat got filled with water.
It was like a game and even the boatmen were splashing water each other. We even made a strategy to attack, when the water fight got furious. We were divided to two groups and one group started emptying the water in the boat and the others started attacking the neighboring boats by splashing water with our foot wears. It was great fun throughout.

Before coming to this place our tour guide insisted us not to take bath and not to wear good dress.All of us felt strange and inspite of the advice, we had our bath and were in good dress.We got the meaning of our guide 's words only when the journey turned to a water fight........And it was fun..really fun..Gifted us with one of those memorable events of college life..
