The last few days were unprecedented and crazy in the tourist hotspot of Ponmudi. The hilltop nestled in the Peringamala gramapanchayath of Thiruvananthapuram district is not a stranger to tourists, but the last few days were insane as the hilltop revelled in ecstasy and delirium.
Thanks to the picturesque climate and the nearly impenetrable fog as tourist visits recorded new highs in the last few days alone. The viral reels also did their best to rope in tourists en masse.
The hairpin bend near the check post witnessed traffic snarls unknown in the place for a long time. However, nobody complained of the disruption as they knew their wait would be worth it. The climate couldn’t have been any more perfect, and the people were in their jubilant best. In no time, the serene hilltop morphed into an arena of people simply looking for Nirvana.
As an icing on the cake, rain arrived in the misty climate, leaving the crowd euphoric. All it required was a popular Tamil beat to be played somewhere from a tourist bus to leave everyone in a frenzy. Youths were seen shaking their legs on top of a bus, even in the company of senior citizens. The video is going viral on social media.
Even now, there is no stopping the massive crowd heading towards Thiruvananthapuram’s prominent tourist destination. If the trend gets viral any further, Ponmudi may witness a similar popularity akin to what Ooty amassed last year on Instagram.
