In this album:

Beautiful contrasts of nature Through the maze of tea plantations on the hill slopes Clouds come-a-rolling over the terraced landscape, enroute to Thekaddy Simply stunning panaroma!
Superb scenery! Tea plantations turn a flouroscent green even as clouds descend low Hills, more hills...even more hills, enroute to Thekaddy Waterfalls break the monotony of the tea-slopes...
A foamy white waterfall cuts across the hill slopes The towering waterfall A serene lake snakes its way through the landscape Following the winding lake
Gentle slopes covered with lush green tea plants span from top to bottom Ha! The grass was greener on our side this time Wonderful scenery Scenic views, at any angle, and any depth
Makes for a perfect picnic spot (except, these are privately owned plantations!) That's the mountain range we crossed over from Munnar... More spectacular carpetted green slopes At the water's edge
Wild flowers Wild flowers View from our resort at Ramakkalmedu - apparently, the windiest place in Asia
