点评:I visited Panchalimedu at around 12 noon during the rainy season, and it was such a unique experience! The whole place was covered in mist and light rain — it felt like rain was coming from all sides. If you’re planning to go during monsoon, forget the umbrella — a raincoat is a much better option!
The walk up is easy and the view (when the mist clears for a moment) is just breathtaking. The cool breeze, the fog, and the light drizzle make it feel like you’re in a dream.
I also recommend combining your visit with Parunthumpara, which is just after Panchalimedu if you’re coming from the Mundakayam side — both places are worth it on the same trip.
There’s a small temple and pond at Panchalimedu and some basic facilities like a tea stall and toilets. It’s clean and not crowded, which I really liked.
**Tip:** Wear a good raincoat, waterproof shoes, and carry snacks and water. The rain makes it even more beautiful!
Highly recommended if you love misty hills and don’t mind getting a bit wet.
翻译:我在雨季中午12点左右参观了潘查利梅杜,这真是一次独特的体验!整个地方笼罩在薄雾和细雨之中——感觉雨水从四面八方倾泻而下。如果你计划在雨季前往,那就别带伞了——雨衣才是更好的选择!
攀登过程轻松惬意,当薄雾暂时散去时,景色美得令人窒息。凉爽的微风、薄雾和淅淅沥沥的小雨,让你仿佛置身于梦境之中。
如果你从蒙达卡亚姆(Mundakayam)方向出发,我建议你结合参观潘查利梅杜之后的帕伦图姆帕拉(Parunthumpara)——这两个地方都值得一游。
潘查利梅杜有一座小寺庙和池塘,还有一些基本设施,比如茶摊和厕所。这里干净整洁,人也不多,我非常喜欢。
**小贴士**:穿上合适的雨衣和防水鞋,并带上零食和水。雨水让它更加美丽!
如果你喜欢雾蒙蒙的山丘,并且不介意淋湿,强烈推荐。
