Christmas trip with Family to Aryankavu in Kollam district, Kerala. Aryankavu shares border with Shenkottai in Tamil Nadu. The famous Punalur-Shenkottai metre gauge railway line also passes through Aryankavu.

First day we did a memorable trekking in the forest there. Next day visited Rose mala, a very remote village in the forest. We could see many peacocks roaming around freely. Also got a nice view of the dam water. A 4×4 vehicle is required to reach there, but we were surprised to know that Kerala govt. operates KSRTC bus service there.
