Nelliampathy

We had planned to head further into the Western Ghat from Palakkad, but no one ever answered the phone at Parambikulam National Park. We decided the travel gods were speaking and we listened.

We spent Christmas Eve day traveling to the hill station of Nelliampathy, far above the coastal plane. The last leg involved a bone jarring jeep ride up a rocky track. The fresh air, cool breezes and fine views made it all worth while.
