Hanging bridge are very rare and in my state few are available but one of those bridge, the longest one is situated in a place and the purpose of the bridge is such that during heavy monsoon which normally lasts for quite a long time the only approach for a village to the nearby city or town is through this bridge only.
As it is far away and in a hi range location a visit to this place is becomes not so common, especially when it rains. But to see this place when the area was submerged in water was one of my long pending dream.
And while I was returning from a long distance journey from the neioghboring and as I know this particular area was flooded with water I choose this route for my travel.
And please go through the story now…
It was quite warm and sunny when I left my place throughout the highway till I reached close to the hi range area
The place at which the relatively smaller mountain passage, it starts looked gloomy at around noon time
This is how the landscape looked like as I covered a small peak after two hair pin curve
The GPS in the car display showing the hair pin curves
Reached at the base of hanging bridge after which the only access is through water body formed during the monsoon
The full view of Bridge, Kerala’s longest
Mostly local people were seen walking across the bridge to reach the village on the other side

Believe me, this location is same that has been seen on the above photo, taken during an earlier visit.
For you all to know what the area looks like on normal days, photo captured during an earlier trip
I travelled to the other side through the bridge
People using the boat for their day to day life to the remote areas of the village
I left the place and started travelling through the hilly places where it is the tea plantation on both sides
Tea estate on the hill on one side of the road
You can see waterfalls and a not-so-dangerous turning
A long view of the place I need to cover for reaching home
Another important hanging location is just on the side of the highway. Click here to read a short story about this place
The force of water falling on the rock
The water flows across the road that travels to the interior
Beautiful landscape continued for a long time on my return; those white lines are waterfalls
And I continued travelling until I reached my destination.
