Going to Visit Murugan

I thought since I had the cycle for 2 days to go and visit Murugan who has one of his residences not far off, some 25 km to the south west of Ooty. I left right after lunch but made a few wrong turns which took some time. The road was not terrible great.

But interesting views of the tea terraces.




As you can see, this road does not have a lot of room to move about on


Some of the delightful flowers while finding the right road.



By 4pm I had made it to within about 4-5 km of Murugan's house, but sunset is around 5:30 and it was starting to get rather cold, so I decided I would have to visit Murugan another time and headed back to Ooty. Now knowing the road I made better time on the way back and made the 25km in 1.5 hours, making it back to Ooty just at sun set.

The road road would be a delight for mountain Italians, nothing but banked turns and hairpin turns. They actually number the hairpin turns so by the time I turned around I was on turn 39 of 48.

On the way there I did stop fairly frequently as the plants, flowers and views were quite delightful.
