Vaidehi Falls and Kerala

My blog is quite turning into a travelogue kind of stuff…However, Unquestionably amazing is what nature has around… With lush vegetation, astounding panoramas, extremely pleasant weather, it can take you a long way through the journey of enthralling ecstasy… Getting back to Western Ghats that spread over Coimbatore, I am now seriously zooming locations of Narasipuram yet my main focus would be over “VAIDEHI FALLS”, cascading down the Western Ghats exceptionally rich in Fauna.

Vaidehi falls locates far west to Narasipuram, a village that grounds considerably lesser population with a quieter atmosphere, nevertheless people panicking constantly on “elephant hang around”…. The falls is 37 kilometers west to the Coimbatore city, quite into the Forest department. I don’t really think officers permit access now… It’s perennial with a big YES to acute aridity in the months of summer… Thickly forested with trees, plants and what not bending towards the path you’ll take uphill… It can look finely narrow on a distant view… Tell you what; the cascade has promisingly a lot of undiscovered routes with each of these reasonably formed…

Yeah back to my adventuring… It was once when we took the hill route from Vaidehi Falls towards Kerala, latently it’s again the inter-state barrier…. But, the back side is equally forested with a lot more wild animal frequenting than what you’d possibly notice on the other side of the hill….Kerala was just two hills away from Vaidehi falls… It could be quite scary; you should need an undaunted spirit that would effectively drive you uphill… So the back side locates Sholayoor amidst estates and forests….. It’s conventionally less visited getting to be a big wildlife territory… Sholayoor houses few people, majority of them tribes… The hill routes can map to Sholayoor if on a viably safer trek… On the steep right to Sholayoor, the spot that enters your eyes would be “NBNP” or the “Nilgiri Biosphere Nature Park”… With an interestingly diverse species of birds and butterflies, the NBNP hosts ecological wonders… Should be termed one of the best preserved assets of Tamil Nadu with unadulterated water, denser forest covers and thriving wildlife… Well once through the NBNP you’re almost into Thuvaipathy, the foothills… Sources traced nature news stating NBNP found countless butterfly species and cooler monsoons significantly nurturing the reproductive processes in butterflies…

Deciding to adventure here, all you need to be doing is take the forest officer’s permission; cos the falls is closed most of the months…you’ll for sure have a tough time on getting a permit… Sorry, but yes, truth hurts…Wow, if things turn out positive, its going to be your own adventuring… the forests and you on a big time trek… Well, there are lots of points to think over… To us it took around a complete 5 hours on trek, with a good luck though… You really need to monitor your routes and an obsessive tenacity pushing you through times of confidence drops…

Every trek is always a combo of luck, courage, fascination and a pinch of healthier prudence… Best of luck!!!! Have a safe trek ahead…!!!!
