Vagamon
Vagamon has nothing to do with Agememnon (from the Helen of Troy chronicles). This is a hill station in Kerala. It is about 64 kms from Kottayam, the nearest Railway station. The journey to the place is a treat to the eyes if you are not the kind who gets dizzy with hair pin bends.
I liked the place but it was tragic, the way people had left it... full of garbage or cattle shedding their waste!!! We visited the grasslands which is a good trek, the Pine valley which was very beautiful but trashed miserably and Kurisumala (the hill of Cross), a Christian pilgrim spot. The place is excellent for trekking. You have loads and loads of hills to climb. Below are some pictures...
