Nairobi 5 - Paradise lost

Paradise lost - our place of visit today. Susan drove us in her SUV for around 25 mins covering 13kms to reach this pleasant location. This place is surrounded by coffee estate and a huge lake. After getting through the entrance formalities we get in to the resort which provides camel and horse rides. Beyond this area our vehicle was parked.

We proceeded towards the paradise lost caves and waterfall. Due to off season there was very less water falling in the falls. Once you cross this area we have the caves. The waterfall falls from above the cave and through the side we can enter the stone age old cave. To reach the bottom of the fall, one has to climb down the small slope.

Getting inside the cave you've got to crouch on the way. There lights placed through the way to help the visitors. Its a different atmosphere inside the cave. Same way you crouch back to come out of the cave.

Away from the waterfall we started walking towards the lake. Row boats are available to go in the lake. One side of the lake is surrounded by trees and is ideal for walking with a scenic beauty.

When you move to the other part of the paradise lost we come across visitors in groups. Each group of friends/families preparing food and enjoying the weekend. Kids have their own playground to play and also indulging in horse rides.

There was also a age old tree whose hanging roots denoting that the tree lives by taking food from the air, hence considered sacred says Susan. She gave good company today.

Paradise lost is just what one would want to go to after a hectic week at work. Also less crowded and offers such natural beauty. There is only a small restaurant but most of the visitors seem carry their food or cook here. Separate shelters are provided for visitors to eat and relax themselves. A most go place..

Aadi koozh vaarthal

Koozh is prepared and offered to Amman followed by the distribution. While offering koozh there are also other heathly eatables included in the Padayal. The koozh preparation starts a day earlier.
