Honey Valley Estate - The paradise beneath Thadiandamol


Added below are my pictures of a realm, where paradise is predominantly green and is washed perennially by the myriad streams flowing down the slopes of one of the greatest Indian Natural treasures, The Western Ghats...


A view from behind the Tribal hut.... Looking at the Manjana Motte hill.

Honey Valley HQ - This is where the gracious hosts of this shangri-la reside ....


Chingara - Honey Valley's very own waterfall ....


Chingara again...


On the way to 'Cheepekund", The natural swimming hole, an hour's walk away from the farm.

The Neelekanti Waterfall... This perennial waterfall makes for a glorious backdrop all through your Trek up the "Ridge Walk" trekking trail.... Grasslands surround the Waterfall and the interspersed Shola Forests add charm to the whole green drama...

Experimenting with shutter speed.
Location: Stream at the "Bottom of the Waterfall Forest". You reach this area at the end of your "Ridge walk" trekking trail.
