Misty Munnar Highlands – October 2011

Obscure mountain pass.
Curling tea gardens encased in haze.

All over Munnar, you could see the Tea Mountains stretching as far as the horizon. Winding up through the misty mountains, enjoy the beautiful mountain vista surrounding you. The tea plantations in this area were very impenetrably cultivated.

Eravikulam National Park - The sanctuary for the endangered mountain goat Nilgiri Tahr:

This time of Rajamala visit, I could see only two or three Tahrs in the park. The big herds might have migrated to neighboring hills.
