Munnar is the most BEAUTIFULL hill-station in India-Truly. The lush
green even Tea Gardens, the warm hospitality, the climate, the
people and the scenery undoubtedly make it a must visit place for
people wanting to take a break from their routine lifestyle. The
many Churches and Chapels along the way and the amazing traffic
discipline make it look more like an European hill-station.
When you reach the park enterance,You've gotta pay a nominal
enterance fee along with some ticket for a camera and the bus
transport too. The bus will then take you through a dangerously
narrow and curvaceous route to a spot somewhere high on the
hill.
WARNING- THIS VENTURE IS NOT ADVISED FOR VERTIGOES or Acrophobic
geocachers.
Then on the way you will be shown the highest peak in southern
India-Anaimudi-2695 meters.After the bus stops at a point you are
free to go for a walk to the top of the hill along where you can
see a particular species of deer Nilgiri Tahr there. After that you
reach the cache location near the prominent waterfalls there.
I have hidden the cache in the famous Eravikulam National Park
situated in Munnar. The amazing location made me hide my cache
although I was not a bit prepared for it.
Therefore in haste I was not able to lay my hands on a
professional geocaching scroll log paper, instead I put a normal
pile of paper scroll torn from my pad. Therefore any inconvenience
to the geocacher is deeply regretted.
Also there might be a chance that I placed it in a temporary
place so there is a 0.00001% chance of it getting lost. But dont
worry,the cache most probably wont be found by the park authority.
YOU MIGHT TAKE THIS INFORMATION AS A HINT:)!
