The water that flows through the river is crystal clear. The Silent valley is divided into 4 sections, the Sairandthri, Poochipara,Neelikal and Wallakad.

As part of our desire to explore the wilderness we decide to set out for the Silent Valley. We reached Palakkad Railway station around 8 am in the morning. Took a Taxi towards Mukkali.The Silent Valley office is located in Mukkali.We were led to the accommodation arranged inside the Guest House. The Guest House was in the middle of a Medicinal Garden. It was a room facing the Bhavani river. After breakfast I explored in and around the Medicinal Plants Garden .After lunch decided to go on a trek.Total kilometers to be trekked to and fro was around ten. Was accompanied by a guide towards the Karuvara waterfalls.On either side of the road were houses were the local tribes of that place stayed. They were involved in the coffee plantations along with the government. On the trek towards the waterfalls we saw a giant squirrel. Saw a Kasthuri manjal plant, several cashew trees, eucalyptus, clove etc. on the way. Saw the way the local tribal people made cuts on the trees to climb high up and collect honey from the top of the trees. Finally we reached the Karuvara waterfalls .It was a beautiful waterfall and there were no people around. So it was very calm and serene. Spend a lot of time there. Did not feel like coming back from there. After the trek back to our room. Could spot a bird inside the Medicinal Plants Garden. There was a small kadavu near the guest house. Spend some time there. The night was so calm and peaceful ,with no sound. Just the sound of the river which was nearby.Got up early morning.Roamed round the garden to see whether I could spot some birds. Could spot some but could not manage to take pictures because they were high up on the trees. Spend some time playing in the water in the nearby Bhavani river. After breakfast we set out towards Sairandthri in a Jeep. There were two zones. The Buffer Zone and the Core Zone. Could spot some giant squirrels on the way towards the interiors of the forest. Reached a watch tower. Had to climb around 200 steps to reach the top. On climbing to the top we can experience strong winds touching our face. What waited for us on the top was worth the climb, an excellent view of the Silent Valley, where we could see the thick vegetation spread around.

From there we could see the origin of Kunthi river. This is the only river which flows through Kerala, which is untouched by Humans until it reaches the Silent Valley.
