Neat rows of tea bushes, with alternating patches of Eucalyptus and thick Western ghats - Nilgiri shola forests, streams, a tea factory, manager's bungalow and the winding road from Munnar to Eravikulam. This is true Nilgiris countryside at its best... Small townships, a gushing waterfall in a trout stream. What more can one expect from beautiful mountain country such as this? At 4:27 into the clip, a sudden post-monsoon shower start pouring down... The flight over Mattupetty Dam almost looks surreal, with the clouds moving fast and making this look like a time lapse shot.

Idukki District, Munnar,
