Dhoni Hills-A must Visit

Okay so it was our last day of our vacation.The college re opens for the second year classes soon and we knew that all the record writing , assignment writing exams labs We and all miseries are about to return.Before we get back to that machine like life we wanted to have a last day of celebration.Me and my friends gathered around and several ideas were discussed.That's when Dhoni trip idea struck.We knew very little about Dhoni.We knew the place was fun with hills and waterfalls.I have also heard many rumors about the place concerning elephants that went wild and causing destruction to the nearby place.We really liked the idea about exploring this natural beauty and decided to visit the place.

                                           The trip was planned and executed and such a short notice that we did so many little errors.Mainly about the food and water that we did not take along.We gathered at palakkad town stand and from there we got direct bus to Dhoni.The bus journey roughly took around 45 minutes and we reached there at around 11pm.The bus halted at a distance from the entrance to the forest.We inquired about the bus which would take us back to palakkad and found that next one is at 5pm only.This gave us enough time to enjoy ourselves at Dhoni.The place was literally deserted with only about handful of people that we met here and there along the way on out trecking.We came around the first waterfall in less than 700m distance.It isn't really a waterfall but rather a stream of water moving at very high speed.But it was a good indication of the beauty that awaited us ahead.We enjoyed ourselves at this place for a little time.The water was surprisingly cooler than we expected.After enjoying ourselves here we moved along to the main waterfall.After another 500m we started climbing the hill.Here the path was well maintained with stones laid out in order for easy climbing which proved to be really useful for both climbing by foot or vehicle.About 3-4 km trecking was there and it took nearly 3 hours for us to reach thee top.The path used to get steeper and steeper at each turn and we were nearly completely exhausted by the time we reached the top.We were both hungry and thirsty.But the sight we saw at the top nearly recharged us to the full.The breathtaking waterfall was an incredible feast to our eyes.We dived to the cool water without a second thought.The  cold water splashing to our face was really a experience.There was a pool like place formed due to the particular alignment of rocks there.We had a good bath there and as the place was at the top most of the hill we could see the whole forest and Dhoni town from there.The experience made us forget our exhaustion hunger and thirst.We were fully recharged and we felt very fresh and energetic.The place has very beautiful forest and unique species of butterflies.The cool water is guaranteed to make you feel fresh and that feeling will last for another week irrespective of how difficult your life is gonna turn out.We reached at the base of the hill much faster than it took to get  to the top.Both because it was downhill and we have used several shortcuts which was easy to use as we were descending.We reached just in time for the bus which took us back to the town.
                           This trip has left me very fresh and recharged that others wondered why i was looking so thrilled when the vacation was going to end the busy life was about to start.The place is ideal place to visit on vacations and specially on monsoons because swimming in the natural pool under waterfall when it's raining is another once in a life time experience.You should however be cautious and should take all precautions and be equipped with all safety gears because 7 deaths has been reported at Dhoni hills.There is also a warning sign included at the entrance to waterfalls. So next time you plan on a trip do not hesitate to choose Dhoni as it is a must visit for all nature enthusiasts.
