Karicharakadavu - unspoilt nature

You may not find Karicharakadavu in any tourist literature or even in any blogs. It is small village not far from Kazhakuttam. On National highway, you turn left at Kaniyapuram after the bus stand (at Althara junction) to the Chirayinkeezh road and within a few kilometers, you are at Karicharakadavu.Another left turn and a brief ride you are reach the water's edge. The waterbody you see is an extension of Murukkampuzha. Kadinmkulam is on the opposite side.  One can see a few country boats and a lone cottage used by some  picnickers. 

Monsoon, football and fishing

Kerala was a football crazy state. It still is, but the craze for cricket is overtaking the love for football. So I was happy to see these determined footballers at Valiathura, a fishing suburb, at a vigorous game of football, despite the pouring rain and the lashing waves.
