The trek to Walayar Hills was decided with very short notice. I had a group of first timers and wanted to take them out on a short for about 4 hours, have a nice refreshing bath in the waterfall which comes gown as the Walayar river, also the geographical border between TamilNadu and Kerala.
The group had a very busy routine and wanted to breakoff for a days outing to nature.

We started at about 8 am and reached a friends farm at the foothills near the Chinnampathy settlement. Having parked and packing our basic needs, we started our trek uphill and reached the waterfall two hours later. It was an ardous climb for the group and they were divided on whether it was an easy or difficult trek.
All pains were gone when the waterfall came into sight and we jumped in to have a back beating bath.

The water was very refreshing and after an hours time in the water we came down back to base to have our lunch by about 4 pm. It was a late lunch, in the shade of the bamboo brakes but nobody complained as the bath in the waterfall was the highlight of the day.
It was a day to remember and everybody was planning on when we would go out on another trip like this one, as they would be able to get out only for a days outing.
