Idukki is famous for its greenery and water bodies. Idukki is one among such places where there is not just one peak. instead, there are a lot of peaks to explore. So we decided to have a ride in its wilderness. We went on our bikes, It was our nearest district as we were staying in Kollam, it took us few hours to reach the place where we were staying. We stayed at Idukki for two days and captured some mind-blowing views.
According to the myths, The Pandavas along with their spouse 'Panchali'had a sojourn there at the time of one-year exile. Hence the place got its name Panchalimedu which derived from the words "Panchali" (Draupadi) and "medu" (hill). The local tribes there offered selfless help to the princes. Pandavas left the region before the beginning of one year incognito.

| At the time we reached Idukki, it was already dark. |
 |
| It was cold and visibility was bad. But it was really fun. |
 |
| First place to visit on next day was, Ramakkalmedu |
 |
| Ramakkalmedu was very windy and also gave an excellent view of Tamil Nadu. |
 |
| Way to our next stop, Panchalimedu |
