3 days tour to Kalpetta, Wayanad - Day #2

DAY #1: 25 May 2013

DAY #2: 26 May 2013
Woke up at 9:00 Hrs IST. Refreshed ourselves and had breakfast at the Resort itself. We were provided with puttu, veg curry, bread, butter and jam. The breakfast was complimentary.

Spent time over there at the resort by walking around and taking photographs. Around 13:00 Hrs, started to Pookode lake. The Pookode lake is around 10 Kms from the resort on NH212 towards Kozhikode. We were charged Rs 15 for car parking. Entry fee for the Pookaode lake is Rs 15 per person. And for camera they charged Rs 20. Spent sometime in the children's park over there.
And there is also boating facilities. But by the time we decided for boating, it started drizzling. Hence we didn't go for boating.

We had lunch at Hotel Sahara Inn. It is around 1.5 Kms ont NH212 towards Kalpetta from the Pookode lake. Hotel Sahara Inn is non-vegetarian. There is a vegetarian hotel 'Vigneshwara' next to it.
We had Chicken Biriyani, Paratha, Chicken Masala, Karimeen Polichathu and Meals. The food was good. The ambience was also good. Service was average. And price was ok. We paid Rs. 1264 for 4 persons. I would recommend this hotel.

We went to a view point on NH212 towards Kozhikode from the Hotel Sahara Inn. The view point is around 5.5 Kms from the hotel Sahara Inn. Spent sometime on that spot. The view was spectacular. Since the viewpoint is right on the highway one has to be very careful in parking cars and crossing the road.

From the view point we went to chain tree. The chain tree is around 2 Kms on NH212 from the view point towards Kalpetta. There is nothing special about this place. We just stopped over there and spent sometime chatting over tea in a nearby shop.

From there we headed to the resort which is around 12 Kms on NH212 from the chain tree towards Kalpetta. It was around 18:30 Hrs IST. Took some rest and had dinner at the resort itself. We have to inform the resort prior if we are to take dinner in the resort. The dinner was good.

Night we spent time by watching the IPL final (Chennai Supper Kings vs Mumbai Indians) and then by playing cards till the next day 01:40 Hrs IST.

DAY #3: 27 May 2013
