Catherine Asks A Local For Directions

Wayanad is located at the top of a mountain pass. There was a scenic lake/rest stop at Pookat lake. We needed a rest after a startling ride up the mountain around several hairpin turns with little change in the volume and intensity of driving. The lake was full of beautiful lotus flowers expanding in the sunshine. We all went for a walk around the lake and took big breaths. We saw our first monkeys here at the lake and along the roadside.
