Scenic splendours of Theni district
Two days back I had to make a trip to an interior part of Theni district. The entire district was part of Madurai district till 5 years back. Now after the creation of new district, it is blooming into a cool, quaint & attractive holiday hill country.
The temperature at Theni is always noticiably cooler than Madurai. But it dips further if you travel further west. The scene is also beautiful with green hills and fields with occasional water canals.
Theni is 2 hours by bus and about one and half hour by car. If you travel further west, there are two routes, one leading to Thekkadi and another leading to Munnar (pronounced Moo-naar – Three rivers) . Both were well known hill resorts in Kerala filled with foreign tourists.
Now with improved roads and mobile access, these village areas were much better places to live than Madurai.
