In my quest to probagate Nilgiris – of its grandures and uniqueness I lost unto the time and as the buck keeps passing on to another time and nother day.I need to get my acts together, to keep the momentum on I am going to blog mostly of back logged photos - the above one is a compelsive blog material

Moolakadh 22 km from Gudalur it is lynch pin in the 'O' Valley basin at 4330 ft msl groovy gorge's under belly of the Nilgiri high lands flanked by the Nilgiri Peak at 8320 ft msl of it looks like a typical third world country side small plantation settlement of the Birla Jaishree plantation, the plantation has run in to huge legal embroil as the said tracts of land belonged to Nilambur Kovilagam which where turned over to the Birlas who converted large extant of prime forest in the tea, coffee and spice plantation suppose to be around 16000 acres – as the Supreme court has directed the birlas to maintain status quo and there isnt much estate works happening the the labour force have moved out in search of better pasture this settlement wears a deserted looks. We found curious infants peeving at us on our quest to Nilgiri Peak ( that is an another blog do coming soon, I hope so...)
