Skywatch–my village down south

 

My ancestors come from a beautiful village called Kallidaikuruchi located down South in India in a district called Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu district. I visited this place early this year and I am still mesmerised by the trip . All around you are views like this with The Western Ghats for company. This is no picnic spot or destination..just a piece of natural beauty on the road enroute to Manimuthar Falls/Dam.

Skywatch this Friday - My native village

I belong to a village called Kallidaikurichi, located down south in Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu. Ringed in by the Western Ghats , the River Tambiraparani flows here while KMTR - Kallakadu Mudanthurai Tiger Reserve is located barely a stone's throw from my village . Picturesque, the region is surrounded with forests, waterfalls, rivers and streams. I visited the Manimuthar waterfalls and the waters later get collected in a large dam. The entire journey is a feast for the eyes, but here is a little stream formed by the waters before it flows into the reservoir.

Skywatch Friday - Manimuthar Dam

One of my childhood haunts, (although I must confess that I must have barely been here not more than a couple of times ) is the Manimuthar Dam on the river Manimuthar, a tributary of the Tambiraparani. Its located a stone's throw from my village, Kalladaikurichi  where the river ultimately joins the Tambiraparani . A journey uphill takes you into the Western  Ghats alond the KMTR- Kallakadu Mudanthurai Tiger Reserve.
