Wayanad
Whatever was Halo thinking of,sending a Mallu into the
rainforests during the rain ?Well,it was inspired thinking,
let us tell you.Almost every conceivable inch of the
mist-wrapped undulating hills of Wayanad have coffee,pepper,cinnamon
and and cardamom growing on them,all of it hedged by
lush rainforests that stuns the eye with its varied
shade of green.Wildlife truly roams free in Wayanad's
sanctuaries of Muthanga,Begur and Tholpetty. |

Bekal Fort
This is the place where those oft-repeated clichés
about God's Own Country come true.To one side of the
imposing fort lies the shallow beach,quite the lotus-eater's
delight,over-run as it is with shells of all sizes and
colours,vast colonies of bashful crabs and little else.

with a thick green creepers that throws up mauve flowers.
