Munambam Beach, Ernakulam, Kerala


Munambam beach is the place where the River Periyar flows into the Arabian Sea. Situated at the northern end (5 kms) of Cherai Beach.To protect the harbor mouth, two ramparts are constructed into the sea to about half kilometer using granite stones and concrete blocks.


To reach munambam beach - The Cochin International Airport is located 20 kms away. The nearest railway station is at Aluva, situated about 22 km away. The beach is around 30km from the Kochi city.


From Ernakulam city - Marine Drive & through the Goshree bridges - Vypeen island – Cherai beach – Munambam beach.


From Aluva – North Paravur – munambam beach


Neat and well maintained beach. We reached there by 10.30 morning. This is the entrance of the beach.

Like Fort cochin Beach, Chinese Fishing nets are one of the most beautiful attractions of this beach.

We will get fresh fish from here. But the cost seems to be high.
No one was there to disturb our freedom. It was very calm and quiet.


It is one of the few places where we can see dolphins.

We returned from there by 1 o'clock and the kids were very hungry. Fortunately we found this place. The entrance fee is Rs.100/- per head. We will get homely food from here. Boating, fishing facilities are also available. We decided to have food from here.

This is the entrance bridge to this place. Very colourful.

This was the food we got. Rice, Fish fry, Achinga Thoran, Fish curry, pickle and Prawn Fry (paid extra cash). Crab fry was also available there but we have to pay extra for that. Got one cup of ice cream along with this food. It was delicious and very spicy.

After having food, we went for fishing. We liked this place very much. There was a narrow sandy way surrounded by water both sides.
Small sheds and seats are available to sit and watch the beauty of this place.

We really enjoyed fishing.

Got two fishes.


We left this place by 6 o'clock. Gave more importance for fishing and didn't get time for boating. Good place for one day trip. Very calm and quiet place without any disturbance.
Realised..... my Kerala is very beautiful.

Ooty trip..... Exploring Dunsandle Tea Estate, Coonoor

Image
Dedicating this travelogue to my friends. When I was in NeST, we planed a tour to Ooty. All most all colleagues visited Ooty before and this made us to rethink about the destination. As usual I discussed this with my parents and they suggested the place Dunsandle near Ooty. Dunsandle is the tea estate in Coonoor near Ooty which comes under BBTC (Bombay Burmay Trading Company). My dad was with BBTC and he got enough friends in Dunsandle Tea Estate. My dad arranged the accommodation for us. We all stayed in my dad's friends house. We started our journey by 10 o'clcok morning and reached Dunsandle in the evening. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Midhu and jismy (my friends) for sharing these pics. Dunsandle estate ( is situated in the Nilgiri hills), is 6,000 feet above the sea level. This is the road towards our house. The road was lonely and really beautiful. Bus services are available to this place. Home stays and other hotels are not available since its a Private ...

Valparai

Valparai is the place where we (me, my sister and brother) used to go during our summer vacations when we were young school going kids; because our dad and mom was in Valparai. My dad was working in a tea estate which comes under BBTC and mom was a high school teacher. Because of the lack of good schools in Valparai; we were forced to stay along with our grandmother and completed our studies in Kochi, Kerala. After a long time, along with my kid and husband I visited Valparai during Sept. 2009. The most prestigious, impressive, inspiring and pollution free greenish heavenly land Valparai, a Municipality of Coimbatore district in Tamilnadu, is located above 3,500 feet from the sea level on the Anamalai Hills range of Western Ghats. We went to Valparai, in a rented tempo traveller, through Pollachi route which was incredible and unforgettable. It was an exotic experience. The road was completely covered by mist. To reach Valparai from Pollachi we have to cover 40 hairpin bends. This r...
