Paithalmala — again.
12-07-2025
Fifth time. Third solo. I wanted to see how beautiful the hill gets during the monsoon. I chose the Manjapullu side for climbing.
Misty trails, cool breeze, and water flowing everywhere. Tiny springs were popping up on the way — fresh ones born from the rain. I drank straight from them, splashed my face.
At the top, went to the stream (by now I know almost every place and vibe up there — ha ha). Soaked my legs, took a quick bath — no one around. My T-shirt was too sweaty, so I washed it too. The nonstop wind helped dry it fast.
As usual, had the packed പൊതിച്ചോറ് — lunch on top, alone.
Felt good. Smiling alone.
But you know me — I can't stop with just that. Had to leave my own little signature on the trip. Don’t call me mad, I’m perfectly fine. Just… normal.
So yeah… I walked back. All the way home. Paithalmala to home. Over 35 km in a day.
Just felt like walking.
