Hi Lalu,

Amazing pictures.

Keep them coming. Your travelogue has made me think about visiting Ooty

Great work

Cheers

Very nice Lalu. Please continue. The pictures are amazing as always. Also now I can plan my next trip to Ooty to visit the places which I missed in my last couple of visits there.

The photos are breathtaking, so I can only imagine what it must have been to witness it in person.
I am sure there would be many others like me heading towards the Nilgiris asap

Rams

Rams, thank you for your kind words.
I am quite excited that I could instigate you guys to visit these places

Day 4, November 30th 2009 continued

Pykara Falls

In another few minutes we reached Pykara Falls. You have to park on the main road and walk for a kilometer to reach the falls - it cannot be called a falls, its just a flow thorough some undulations and is not tall at all. But it is beautiful.

Power Puff Girls running towards the lake.

Sleep like a Dog

Sparrows, we are missing them these days

This fellow was nice and soft. See the shiny fur!

Sheep grazing happily

A sheep herd marching

Power Puff Girls at a Sheepish meeting

The customary Tree climb

The lake flowing gracefully toward the fall

continued....

Day 4, November 30th 2009 continued

Pykara Falls

Some different views of the falls. It's not tall at all

We enjoyed the beauty for an hour and drove to Pykara lake and Boat house buy 13:00PM.

continued...

Hey LaluKS, its amazing how you have brought life into each of these pictures. I have been to quite a few places in India and looking at the pictures you have posted, feel all the more convinced that our country is the most beautiful place on Earth.

Keep up the good work

So the trip coming to an end uhh?? :(

Regards,
Rams

Rams, Thank you.
Yes, our India is so beautiful. I was going ga ga on european stuff in 2003 - 2005, and when I visited Himalayas in Sep 2009 - I was floored. Our India is indeed beautiful, and we just have not seen her enough.

2009 Trip log is nearing an end, but don't worry I'll get some more details of the 2006 trip and photos for you guys.

Great going Lalu. PS: If you do buy the boat house, let us BHPians have a get-together on it! just kidding.

laluks,

Your travelogue is so far, the best I have come across! I came across this today and could not stop reading page by page

. Brilliant pics too!!! I had been to Ooty on the weekend, but could spend only a day as I was short of time. Your photographs inspired me to pay a visit again sometime this month. And this time, I would definitely find more time to stay there to explore all the places. Thanks for sharing this travelogue

Pykara lake is Green, amazingly green.

We went boating
