A Walk in the Woods

One of things that the Nilgiris have plenty of is beautiful terrain for hiking. In the little bit of time I've been here, I've managed to get in just a bit of hiking in the local area, and there's never any lack of scenery.

First hike of the season sponsored by the Staff College: Alex (UK), me,

Hillside views and tea plantations
...post-hike beers, of course.
And no hike would be complete without a monkey sighting...
