Sunday in the Mountains

We met these guys on our way back and they offered us mutton(which was not bad at all).I wonder how they managed to cook in that heavy rain.
Breathe taking stuff.....
Me and Kempi enjoying the amazing view.

Flowers Every where(Kurinji Flower)


The Strobilanthes(Kurinji Flowers) is flowering after 16 years in the BB range(Chickmagalur) of western ghats. This last happened in 1990.This has become a major tourist attraction for people around this region.

Last sunday, me and a couple of my friends went for a drive to see these flowers.We left chickmagalur at 1 pm as soon as we reached the mountains its started pouring and nothing was visible because of the thick fog cover.

All of us were disappointed and dint know what to do.My camera battries also gave in so we decided to go back to the town.On our way back we met a few people and they told us that the weather was much better a few miles from where we were.We turned back and drove for a few miles in to the mountains.

The weather became better as we drove further and the sight was amazing.The entire place was covered with flowers and the view was unbeliveable.The pictures i have uploaded does not do justice.The day was great and well worth all that trouble.
