in this video we’ll travel to the princess of mountains Kodaikanal
00:48.2
00:53.0
the usual route I prefer to reach Kodaikanal is via
00:53.1
00:57.9
Dindukal and vathalagundu, but this time I'm going via pazhani
00:58.0
01:02.8
they said the climate and roads are awesome, so how we can miss Lord Muruga while passing pazhani
01:02.9
01:07.7
so stopped in pazhani and worshipped lord Muruga and then continued my travel
01:07.8
01:11.3
"chime music"
01:11.4
01:28.0
"divine music"
01:28.1
01:32.4
This is the Dandayudhabani Murugar temple of pazhani
01:32.5
01:35.7
this is situated 1500 ft above the sea level
01:35.8
01:40.6
there is two ways to reach the top, one is climbing 700 steps
01:40.7
01:45.5
or you can use the cable car service also
01:45.6
01:50.4
it costs 10-25 Rs.
01:50.5
01:55.3
if we climb we can reach in 20-25 minutes
01:55.4
02:00.2
this is the top view of the temple
02:00.3
02:05.1
this is the third house of the muruga's six houses
02:05.2
02:10.0
I got positive vibes after visiting here after many years, they provide food offerings for devotees also
02:10.1
02:14.9
they gave the fruit delicacy that was showered to the idol of Muruga
02:15.0
02:19.8
I tasted it, it was superb. then
02:19.9
02:24.7
I tried tamarind rice and curd rice, which both sold and gave for free also
02:24.8
02:29.6
I tried some of them and continued my journey
02:29.7
02:38.1
"divine music"
02:38.2
02:43.0
as expected the climate will change drastically when you reach Kodaikanal
02:43.1
02:47.9
Similarly this time also climate change occurred rapidly, the rain never stopped
02:48.0
02:52.8
still we took some small break and traveled by enjoying the view
02:52.9
02:57.7
as I heard, this pazhani to Kodaikanal route is amazing
02:57.8
03:02.1
so enjoy those sceneries for yourself
03:02.2
03:07.0
"Ambient music"
03:07.1
03:11.9
it will take 2.5 hours to travel in this route
03:12.0
03:16.8
but the time exceeded beyond my calculations
03:16.9
03:21.7
and it rained heavily after getting dark and the day ended unexpectedly
03:21.8
03:26.2
"Thunderstorm"
03:26.3
03:49.2
"upbeat music"
03:49.3
03:54.1

04:38.3
04:43.1
now I can sustain cold, we'll climb down for Kodaikanal
04:43.2
04:48.0
the hostel price starts from 400 Rs
04:48.1
04:52.9
range is 400-500 and it's worth the money
04:53.0
04:57.8

05:02.8
05:07.6

07:24.0
07:28.8
we enjoyed the climate and they have this watchtower and it's foggy there
07:28.9
07:33.7
It’s not visible but we can enjoy the view for sometime
07:33.8
07:38.6
they preserved this cave with caged fence for safety reasons
07:38.7
07:43.5

08:32.6
I waited 30 minutes to get rid of this mist
08:32.7
08:37.5
