Very nicely captured. Really took us on the trip with you!
ReplyDeletevery nice pics.....
ReplyDeletepalani hills reminded the terrifying "winch"
though it was long time ago...
thanks for keeping in touch with the real south india.
regards.
I'm glad you were able to enjoy and photograph some of the sights along the way. Interesting roadside village, hay stacks, trees, ponds, fruit, animals... I like them all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAwsome pictures, all of them!
ReplyDeleteThe hill in the top picture reminds me of the famous hill overlooking the small town of Waterloo in Belgium, where Napoleon Bonaparte's army was defeated by the british army.
One gets to the top by climbing many stairs - and the reward is a fascinating panoramic view of the area.
Awesome pics, especially Palani Hills.
ReplyDeletebeautiful images of a lovely serene countryside!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful countryside. Gives a nice view of the environment there.
ReplyDeletevery nice pics. We travelled with you through the pics..
ReplyDeleteI like the Hay-stack(#2) picture. What is special ablout Karaikudi?
ReplyDeletenice clicks..all your posts n clicks always give a feeling that our India is still beautiful :)
ReplyDelete@kusum: Karaikudi is the center of "Chettinad" region in Tamilnadu - from where "Nattukottai Chettiars" hail. They are well know for their industrious nature,wealth creation, culture & cuisine. Karaikudi is also home of two famous Institutions, Alagappa University and CECRI.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures..
ReplyDeleteAwesome captures..Hope you had some delicious chettinad food too.

I noticed that ponds of lilies are endemic in Trichy, Pudokottai, and the contiguous areas. I like them. The hill looks beautiful, one could see the stairs leading up to the top. Makes one wanna pack and leave for a visit. :)
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. Loved the lily pond and the last one - the cow looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI remember the few trips I made by road to Karaikuddi. The driving was a good experience.
ReplyDeleteYour pics has come out well. Perhaps a few pics of the Chettinad cuisine would have been better.
I enjoyed the scenery so much. Good tour.
ReplyDeleteHello Ram,
ReplyDeleteExcellent photographs which gives an insight into the places you traveled. To travel 800 km. in three days is a feat by itself. This is mango season and Kochi markets are flooded with mangoes including the ones from Tamilnadu and this is the time to enjoy all varieties of mangoes because at this time they are relatively cheap.
Wish you all the best,
Joseph
Beautiful series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour, loved it!
Wish you a wonderful weekend.

Great photos, Ram! Love them all. Another look at India that we don't always see. A land of contrasts.
ReplyDeleteI would love to travel to a place like this someday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous road trip! Love all photos. The Banyan Tree and Tamarind Tree are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe lily pond is so beautiful too.
You live in a wonderful country!
