1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:12,500
"Upbeat Rock music"

2
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,400
Summer has arrived, to fight with the heat 
we seek cold places

3
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:22,300
during that time first thing come to our 
mind is

4
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,200
Kodaikanal or Ooty, which we visited many 
times so

5
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:32,100
for a change we will visit a different place 
where we and nature will connect

6
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,000
and if you think like me this video is for 
you

7
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:41,900
yes, we need a real time adventure to visit 
this place

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,800
like thrilling jeep ride, you won’t have 
network connection

9
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:51,700
friendly friends and campstay during drizzle

10
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,400
also you will witness amazing sun rise

11
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,900


12
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,800
we'll see a beautiful place filled with such 
things

13
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:06,700
just leave your busy things and join me in 
this beautiful summer vacation

14
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,700
let's start now!

15
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:25,000
"upbeat music"

16
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:29,900
so now the current place we're in is suriya 
nelli

17
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,800
we'll look about the tea plantation and tea 
leaves harvesting

18
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:39,700
then we'll travel to Kolukkumalai in jeep

19
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,600
you can use your own vehicle but it’s hard 
so

20
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:49,500
we'll use jeep ride to safely reach camp 
sight

21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,400
this place behind me is the main office of 
Kolukkumalai

22
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:59,300
they will arrange jeep ride and other facilities

23
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,200
we'll ask them in detail about facilities

24
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:09,100
so brother's name is Pandiaraj, he was in 
touch with me for a long time

25
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,000
I planned to visit this place and Kolukkumalai 
for a long time so I enquired him about that

26
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,900
and asked him about, what are the plan you 
have?

27
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,800
we saw many tea plantation things, other 
than that what are the things you have?

28
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,700
- our plant is the 2nd highest plant in the 
world

29
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,600
- and specifically this one is the only organic 
one

30
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:38,500
- this is 8500 ft high from sea level and 
to see sunrise from the peak will be nice

31
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,400
- we have many foreign visitors, we're at 
TN and Kerala border

32
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:48,300
- this has full offroad route, so jeep is 
the only suitable vehicle

33
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,200
- car is useless on this path,

34
00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:58,100
- May is the best time for the visit, you’ll 
get peace and can do trekking

35
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,000
I hope I'll have the same feel, - for sure 
!

36
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:07,900
now time is almost 1 in the noon

37
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,800
so we'll enjoy the hiking with this flow

38
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,600
let's try the offroading bro?, - yeah sure

39
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:20,400


40
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:25,300
brother's name is Rajan and he is the driver 
here for 15 years

41
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,200
you may get shocked to hear about his qualifications, 
he is a B.com graduate

42
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:35,100
he was discontinued, but it’s a big thing 
here

43
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:42,200
their family left their home town and came 
here since when british started the tea estate

44
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:48,900
so we'll travel with brother for the offroad, 
will you drive us safe? - we'll travel safe 
and suprebly

45
00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:03,600
"Pleasant music"

46
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:08,500
the place we're going to enter is a private 
peoperty so

47
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,400
they asked our details like address and numbers 
for safety reasons

48
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,300
so no other issues, we’ll continue our ride 
because in 1 hour

49
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,700
it will be raining here as per driver says

50
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:30,900
"Pleasant music"

51
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,800
I understand why they named it as Kolukku 
malai, it's shaking that much!

52
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:40,700
brother says that it's just the teasing

53
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,600
main things are yet to start but we're already 
tired

54
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:57,100
"Pleasant music"

55
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,000
wondering why I'm coming from here?

56
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:06,900
Jeep driver told me that this place is nice 
to drop off

57
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,800
and enjoy the view then we can resume

58
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:16,700
I'm surrounded by tea plants only, it looks 
like can harvest and

59
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,600
boil them to make tea, it's that much fresh

60
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:26,500
and in my opposite there is one tea factory

61
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,400
many ladies are working there, we saw when 
we have been there

62
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:36,300
this is xtreme off road and he gave the be 
aware signal also

63
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,200
so jeep driver is on the top so

64
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:46,100
we'll walk between the plants and will get 
back to the jeep

65
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,000


66
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:55,900
oh where is the vehicle ? did they left us 
?!

67
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,800
ladies are working here, we may think it's 
a easy job from a distance

68
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:05,700
but look at the landscape it has many ups 
and downs

69
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,600
so working here is a tough task

70
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:15,500
if you want man vs wild experience

71
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,400
come here and you'll get that for sure, brother 
is following me actually

72
00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:25,300
I'm decided to walk now

73
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,200
our camp spot is 3 km from here

74
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:53,600
"calm music"

75
00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:58,500
I feel like I'm travelling to another world

76
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:03,400
we reached the camp site almost, when we 
reached this Kolukkumalai tea estate

77
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:08,300
we where covered by mist and it's hard to 
see any objects from this jeep

78
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,400
it's like the warm welcome we get here

79
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:22,600
"calm music"

80
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:27,500
when we reached the camp side it was so much 
of crowd and

81
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,400
we can see a view spot called pulipaarai, 
you can enjoy top view from there and also 
maggie from this canteen

82
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:37,300
people are enjoying that here, there is one 
oldest tea factory here in whole India

83
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,200
people are chilling after the tour

84
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:47,100
they have this small playground setting for 
kids

85
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,000
I got a different feel after a long time

86
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:56,900
just now they gave the tea, in 30 seconds

87
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,800
it got chiilled, I can see the steam but 
not hot

88
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:06,700
the coffee and tea we get here are made from 
the raw material they produced here

89
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,600
all are First grade quality

90
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:16,500
with light brown colour and excellent taste

91
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,800
so it's a must try

92
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:23,400


93
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:26,700
- why are you here with a bag?

94
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,600
I ran from my home, they scolded me that 
I'm wandering too much!

95
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:38,500
so I left my home with my baggage

96
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,400
I want to stay with you in your tent for 
1 month to think about my future

97
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:47,600
can you give me shelter ? - for sure!

98
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:58,300
"upbeat music"

99
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,200
bro opened this and showed the view

100
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:08,100
let me show you in close

101
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:13,000
after that ride, this feel relaxing to sit 
and enjoy the view

102
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:17,900
they gave this mat to prevent small injuries 
due to rough surfaces

103
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,800
and sleeping bag, actually now itself is 
too cold

104
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:27,700
I think it will be freezing moving forward 
and unless I remove my shoes it won’t be 
an issue

105
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,600
otherwise my legs will get freezed,

106
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:37,500
this place is so neat and 5 people can sleep 
here

107
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,400
with average body height and tall people 
like me will reduce that number to three

108
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:47,300
this one is that much spacious and after 
you

109
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,200
travelled and spent a night you can get a 
beautiful view of the sunrise

110
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:57,100
I don’t know if I'm lucky as fog will happen 
here regularly

111
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,000
it will be foggy on every random 5 minutes 
here and there, so let’s see

112
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,900
I hope we will see in the morning

113
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,800
he took us to the nearby sunset view and

114
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:15,700
I witness the sun slowly hiding itself in 
the mist

115
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,600
during that evening time I heard songs playing 
from a village situated in foothill, that’s 
a unique vibe

116
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:25,500
and I mentioned the morning sunrise right?

117
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,400
he showed the nearby mountain which is the 
spot to see the sunrise

118
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:35,300
that place is like the place showed in a 
GOD comedy skit of Vadivelu

119
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,200
did you remember that comedy? - that spot 
is 7500 ft high

120
00:10:40,300 --> 00:10:45,100
- that mountain is 8500 ft high and called 
as Meesa puli malai

121
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,000
I heard about that place, did people go there?

122
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:53,600
- they're not allowed from here, it's from 
Munar's side

123
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:58,500
the height scale increases in the times of 
7k..8k..9k...

124
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,400
I went to the kitchen and enquired master 
about the dinner

125
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:08,300
that time he was busy in chopping onions, 
tomatoes

126
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,200
I also took part in the cooking to help him

127
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:18,100
"calm music"

128
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,000
"everyone are welcomed here always"

129
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:27,900
"calm music"

130
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,800
time is 7-8 in the evening and rain is also 
pouring outside

131
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:37,700
I'm so much hungry now

132
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,600
I came here to ask for the time of the dinner

133
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:47,500
he is specially cooking dinner for us

134
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,400
he is born and brought up here and living 
here for 55 years

135
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:57,300
Right now he is cooking

136
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,200
chicken and it's boiling there

137
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:07,100
I also help in preparing this dish with spices 
and chicken

138
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,000
thanks brother, his name is...[UNKNOWN WORD]

139
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:16,900
Don’t forget it, if you visit here he will 
be the one who cooks for you

140
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,500
after a long day ride, had a filling dinner

141
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,400
had camp sleep under the stars

142
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:30,300
the important thing is the awe looking sunrise 
here and the peak we're going to is the highest 
peak here

143
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,200
it's almost 8000 ft high same as our expectations

144
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:39,400
"calm music"

145
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:44,300
a beautiful sun rise will happen at early 
mroning 6.10

146
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,200
you can't miss the sunrise and sunset here 
at Kolukkumalai

147
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:54,100
the cloud bed will

148
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,400
enhance the look,

149
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:02,300
from campsite we're doing a small hiking 
for 30-40 minutes

150
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,200
so a superb view is visible now itself

151
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:12,100
the path is slightly dark and wet so we're 
using this light

152
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,000
way is also slippery, in very short time 
it will be beautiful to see as sunrise time 
is almost here

153
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:25,200
so almost 50-70 jeeps will come here with 
tourists for sunrise

154
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:30,100
thank God!, we can see so many jeeps when 
we left from there

155
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,000
we're lucky to start earlier than them

156
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:39,000
I'm so excited to see sunrise, how about 
you?

157
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:48,000
"Pleasant music"

158
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:52,900
you may ask why so much of hype for a sun 
rise but

159
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,800
it's a never seen before sunrise and a rare 
sight to see

160
00:13:57,900 --> 00:14:18,400
"upbeat music"

161
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:23,300
it looks beautiful isn’t it ?

162
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,200
this sunrise spot is 2km from our camp spot

163
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:33,100
Bro said this spot is in border of Kerala 
and TN

164
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,000
so I placed my both feet in different territories

165
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:42,900
they have this indication of stone carving

166
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,800
they have this stone called puli paarai

167
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:52,700
at 5.30 60-70 jeeps have arrived

168
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,600
I'm lucky to enjoy this view alone

169
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:02,500
after 30 minutes it was covered by mist

170
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,400
my wish in this trip fullfilled, the one 
who brought me here is

171
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:12,300
this brother only, he took the care of me 
for the whole time

172
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,200
actually there was a 30 minutes power cut 
in night

173
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:22,100
during that time he provided backup power 
to charge our equipments

174
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,000
I may slept without any knowledge but he 
woke up us in the time

175
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:31,900
if not for him, I would have missed the sunrise 
as it was so foggy quickly

176
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,800
Thanks brother, he will take care of you 
like me

177
00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:41,700
thank you so much brother

178
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,600
