Rajesh, who comes from the region, spent the weekend trying to convince us that Kerala is the most beautiful place in the world... It might very well be true, but we won't tell him that.

This little fella is not as shy as it looks !

Hold on tight to the bar, the driver thinks he is Alonso...
No A/C?! No need for this luxury as there are no windows.
Just smell the fresh green air and let the wind rush through your hair !

After 1.30 hours in this beautiful bus from Kerala State, we finally reached Thusharagiri waterfalls. During the trip, everybody on the bus was taking care of us (they were a bit worried to see us there).

Our self-proclaimed "Guides" who were very keen to explain to us everything about Thusharagiri waterfalls, but in their language... Very enthusiastic but difficult to get rid of !!

Just what you need but nothing more, very basic, easy to fix in case of damage.
