We, my friend Anil his friend Anu and I, were lucky to escape from the routine work and to go for a thrilling experience of Green Vagamon, the land of Tea estates near Kottayam-Idukki boarder in Kerala. We started from kottayam at 10:30 am for a 65 kms travel by Anil's car. It was raining and witnesses a minor accident on the way, but that doesn't stop us to see the land of tea gardens. But we have lost good amount of time to finish all the formalities.
We stopped at Erattupettai for taking some snaps of hills before heading towards the hairpin roads. Also spend some time at Maramala water falls near Teekoy Rubber Estate. 
There is often a saying that you do not need to carry a travel guide to Vagamon hills. WHY? It's so simple. As soon as you reach the foot of the fills, you get wrapped in mist and from here the mist is you guide.
The zig-zag roads and the tea 
gardens on either side are breathtaking. We found some place for parking and started walking to one of the tea estates. There was no sign of anybody and we enjoyed every moment of tea garden, a valley and the beauty of mist. I couldn't hide my camera and keep on clicking the beauty of vagamon: The Hills of Tea.
