After the second trip, several years went with failed attempt to book the tickets. I was away from home for a year and could not go that year either. Finally in 2018 a few of us decided to go together again. I, Parameswaran, Kesavan, Harishankar, Rakesh, Jishnu, Vishnu, Muhammad Rabiat and Zenith were the nine members of the group. In this we were all relatives except Rabiat and Zenith. Tickets usually run out shortly after the booking starts. Everyone was anxious about the ticket availability. Finally, we managed to give everyone’s details and, luckily got the tickets. The trip was on February 2, 3 and 4.

We started early morning in my car. After parking the car at Nedumangad, we entered in the Bonakad bus at 5 pm. After reaching Boncaud, we went to the office of the forest department. There was a small canteen there. We had our breakfast from there and collected our parcelled lunch also
