Vellikulangara Forest Explored
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 foraround 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
Some of the houses made for the Tribal People
We were entering to the Forest through the Rubber Plantation.
It was not easy to walk through the dense forest.
We don’t have enough courage to walk much through this route as it was too steep to continue.
We took a snap here.
The Journey to the top starts here…
Walking through the Rop Bridge..
Aaattalle .. Aaattalle … Thaazhe Pokum.
Alwin on a Tree, Different steps taken to climb and sit comfortably… Like who…???

We made a trip to Explore the beauty of the Forest, Vellikulangara range and it was worth exploring, though we didn’t get much time, but we enjoyed….

Great exploration. Wonderful report and photos. I suggest you visit Vellikulangara after Sep and publish the photos of the forest, when it is in its full glory. I tried this during Oct first week (our recent trip), but We couldn’t explore much, as I was accompanied by my two kids

Nice place… Thanx for the beautiful narration and pictures… By the by, the owl you saw was one of the rarest and most difficult to see birds, the spot-bellied owl or the forest eagle owl.. Keep up the good work..
Thanks alot Biju, for visiting the blog and also providing some info. Please do visit again.
