MuNnAR


1. Trek to your hearts content while the clouds slowly descend upon you. The mist clad hills of Munnar*. (This is one of the favorite in my photo collections).
2. I was lucky enough to witness the rare sight of neelakurinji (Strobilanthus) (in 2006 Sept), flower which bathes the hills in blue every twelve years and Nilgri tar (Varayadu, meaning rock goat), the rare mountain goat that is fast becoming extinct.

*Munnar is a hill station in kerala, a state in India
