Vellikulangara Forest Explored
Posted by: Binoy Anto on: February 23, 2009
It was a Friday 16 JAN,09 and I decided to explore the natural beauty. For the past sometime I was thinking to visit the Vellikulangara Forest range and as I do not have much knowledge about the place even though its near to my home ( 20Kms). So I took the day off and started on my Kinetic towards the Forest, Alwin accompanied and we were with some preparation, as it may take 5-6 hours to fully escape to the forest.
We were just reaching the Forest Area.
Through the Rubber Trees. As it was winter the trees were without leaves
Top View
Rubber Plantation
Long view from the Top
We walked through this road for around 2kms and returned.
As we were walking along the stream we saw some fresh droppings
of the elephant and we were worried, still we walked for another Km
Alwin was looking around as some sound came from the trees.
Adipoli Aadivaasi Style ….
After reaching the top, we entered to a Plantation area and we have to
take the diversion from here.
Its a good view from here..
What is he doing there on top of the Rock
Eda … Erangi Vaada..
We were travelling along the stream as we were not sure of the roads
ahead.
This was a Double headed snake, I think as it was looking at me with both
the heads up…??
We walked along this route to reach the Tribal Colony at KARIKADAVU
Even it was in the middle of the day, I was bit cautious, after seeing the
droppings at the first halt.
We were reaching the KARIKADAVU Tribal colony
