Monsoon Images from Kodaikanal

June 16, 2009

I made a quick dash last week to check out the monsoon in the hills of Kodai. The visit was fruitful – the hills were green and it rained on and off. Clouds and sun took turns and through the day, changing the way the landscape looked. Fog swept the valleys as it rained and settled down in the depressions after drenching the slopes. A few pictures below.

Hey neat images Arun. I was in Kodai around the same time. It was my first time there and I really enjoyed satying in the hills. Check out my images on my site if you have the time. Thanks.

*** Arun - April 5, 2012, 8:50 pm ***

@Shruti, all the images were taken in a place called Mannavanur, about 30km from Kodai town.

thanks a lot arun ! missed it last time….will go there for sure. if you haven’t been to naidupuram in kodi, its worth exploring. the hills and villages around it have gorgeous scenery, mostly private houses and farms- quite isolated. its above kodi town, so you can see the lake & town below from naidupuram
