  1. The waterfalls are ๐Ÿ‘Œ. Highlights are the flowers. As if captured in a botanical garden. Orchids are so very beautiful.

    1. Thank you dear Senguttuvan Annae!

      I am sure that you would have had a field day there! Let's hope we all can make it one day soon!

  2. Absolutely lovely to look at the waterfalls .. what a serene surrounding for the Buddhist monks who live there ! Flowers look beautiful. And, you look smart in the pic .. don't think you have changed one bit in the last eight years, my dear Hemanth ๐Ÿ’ The wooden staircase looks nice but perhaps was difficult to climb up and down. Glad you have made the best use of your time ๐Ÿ‘

    1. Yes, dear Maya!

      It was a really enjoyable day where everything went well without a hitch. It's such a lovely place.

      We all should try to make it to the place sometime soon. I am sure that you would enjoy the place.

      Best wishes and warm regards

  3. Beautiful pictures of waterfalls and the flowers Hemanth!Ginger flowers and orchids -what a riot of colours! The waterfall with the Buddhist monk’s cottage is picture perfect. What a lovely place to spend time and have lunch! One should not forget the mother and baby pic! That one is super cute!
    Looks like you had a great time!

    1. Yes dear Savithri.

      It's a lovely place and I guess we all should try to make it to the place once soon. Let's see how things will turn out.

      Thank you for writing.

      And yes, you got it right. That's the profile picture all right! :-)

      Best wishes and warm regards
