    Wow! Amazing. I almost missed the kid jumping from the rocks into the water. Snacks and a boat ride. Looks exciting and dangerous. One of these days….

    Beautiful! I have been there once, almost 16 years ago. It was where the ‘Rukumani’ song from Roja was picturised. Must go one of these days. :) Thanks for the reminder.
