The narrow lane to the hill lacked parking, and upon reaching, a 5-minute climb led us along a muddy pathway flanked by plants and flowers—a haven for butterflies and birds. Coconut trees adorned the surroundings. Though one might think they’ve reached halfway, the true allure…

Hatton (I went up the Hills)

The drive We drove up to the hills with loads of luggages and our mobile phones. The drive was on curvy and narrow roads with a deep edge as we went higher and higher a few waterfalls we counted. Six hours later we entered a path which stood amongst a bunch of green tea bushes….
