Only four-wheel drives!
Posted By thecouple
Some trips can be scary, but exciting. We learned it during two trips – one to Manpara Peak in Nelliyampathy Hills, Palakkad, Kerala and other to Kudajadri Hills, Shimoga, Karnataka.
Only four-wheel drives can meet the challenges thrown by these roads, if we can call them ‘roads’. Unpaved and bumpy would be underestimating adjectives for these.
The ride through these forest pathways is so bouncy that you can’t rest your bum on the seat. Ditches and stones make sure your head hits the top of the jeep frequently.
One moment we climbed up at somewhat 70 degree, followed by a climb-down at a similar angle. At one place, there was no track; instead we climbed a rock face. Nevertheless, we were all laughing hysterically.
If there was something common between all the passengers, it was an unrelenting faith in the young drivers (in both places), who were doing nothing short of a dangerous circus, albeit well-practiced.
