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.

Travel and travel

Loads and loads of journeys this year . Just returned from Cambodia towards the end of January and now am off to Chhattisgarh, a very young state in India, which was earlier a part of Madhya Pradesh. The invitation has come from the state tourism board and am looking forward to the tour.

Meanwhile there are so many tour reports to publish, stories and photographs to share , but I have hardly had any time in between trips. Besides I have been in a rather lethargic, sleepy and dreamy state of mind and in body to start focussing on work, writing and blogging..However for now, here is a photograph from my village Kallidaikurichi , in down south india , located in Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu.  The river Tambiraparani flowing at her own pace , bathed by the evening light . More photographs are on my Facebook page and you can join me there as well.

See you all soon..
