The landscapes and wildlife in Valparai in this season, in December, is just amazing.

Drive to Valparai, Tamil Nadu:
A couple of weeks ago, we did a drive to Valparai, Tamil Nadu, mostly to see the landscapes amidst tea plantations there and to see the wildlife too. This drive was done together with my friends @robimahanta and @justwheels. Thus we had three Thars going together for this drive. The whole drive and the plan was the idea of @robimahantaand thanks for to him for this amazing plan and the theme.
We stayed at a beautiful bungalow called “Sheikalmudi Bungalows by Tahr Trails“. It is an amazing tea estate bungalow with three rooms – perfect for our group of three families. The landscapes and wildlife in Valparai in this season, in December, is just amazing. We were so engrossed in enjoying those scenes that we forgot to take any car pictures at all. I got some photographs of the landscapes and the wildlife but not many car photos. Therefore, instead of sharing all the nature photos here, I will write a separate travelogue on that.
But for now, sharing just a few photos as a preview, while I wait to find time to write the full travelogue.

Hopefully I will get time to write that detailed report soon. Thank you for reading this till then.
