Thirusoolam Quarry

If you are a watcher of tamil cinema you must have seen this place in many tamil movie climaxes and songs.

I am posting a collection of photos that I took at the Thirusoolam Quarry.
The Photos belie the sheer depth and magnitude of this place.

Kodaikanal To Munnar Trek - Day3 - Berijam lake

Have a look at the photos from the previous days here.

Day1

Day 2

Morning walk in Berijam Lake :

We had reached Berijam lake from Kodaikanal the previous evening and today our plan is to trek from Berijam to Kavunji village. But before the main trek, we had a morning walk along the Berijam lake and it turned out be one of the most beautiful place. Amongst the 50 who were part of the trek, we 4 of us were the only ones who visited this place at the right time and I was the only one with a working camera when we went. Hence I got to click the most beautiful place in the trek without any competition. And below are those photos.

Today most part of the trek was thru the Bhagavan Mahavir National Sanctuary.
