Today could not stand the soaring summer heat in Kanyakumari, so thought of riding my bike. Did a quick search on Google Map and decided Kalikesam as the destination. One of the reason is it's about 4KM from Keeriparai, my last visit. Though its not thrilling to trek the same route twice, but gave it a ride.
What made the ride truly wonderful was the unsuspecting rain. Yes, as I neared thadikarankonam, I was welcomed by dark clouds and thunders. And soon it started raining like cats and dogs. In minutes the rough hilly road filled with puddles. Enjoyed it and couldn't stop myself from singing, yes from my heart. Soon I was all wet and it was a nice feeling to ride the bike on such a wonderful place on a summer day. As I reached Kalikesam came to know from the villagers that it's been raining for the past 5 days and there were water streams as you could see it on the pictures. You are welcomed by the Kaliamman (Kalimatha) temple and just behind it begins the hilly water streams and further the falls. Took some dips in the chilling water and some pictures and prepared myself to turn back. Hope to visit again with family and friends for more fun.
