A nice one.

Did you manage to see any wildlife - Jackals, lesser cats and even striped hyenas are reported here. There is a wonderful riverain tract in the foot hills which supports numerous birds.

Associated with this area since childhood as this area is not too far from my native. Quite recently this beautiful place is getting vandalized - mostly due to indiscriminate mining and filthy tourism.

Many lesser known areas of E.Ghats lack recognition and they all are perishing at a brisk rate.

Nice scene. Seems you photographed from the car. Would like to see more of the greenery around than the road :). Look forward to more from Kolli hills. Thanks for sharing.

Did you click through the glass (windshield)?. You can go out of the car and click. Some precautions needed for shooting in rain can be found here: http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=648

I would love to hear some details about this place.

Cheers,
