THE WESTERN GHATS

Deep blue skies, pine sap breezes, dollops of purple and gold splashed from a wildflower palette and the crackle of a wood fire on perpetual late autumn nights.




The British built their summer homes here, seeking what we might call "Colonial air-con". Because let's face it. Tamil Nadu can be as hot as hell, and even the plushet rooms cant cool you off as you wander the dust clouds on the plains. Solution? The lush mountains of the Western Ghats, offering some of the most welcome hill heat relief in India. Rising like an impassable bulwark of evergreen and deciduous tangle from the north of Mumbai to the tip of Tamil Nadu, the Western Ghats contain 27% of all India's flowering plants, 60% of its medicinal plants and an incredible array of endemic wilflife.Although its not just the air and lack of pollution that's refreshing, either-there's also a general acceptance of quirkiness and eccentricity in the hills that is hard to find in the lowlands.

Sri Mukthi Naga Kshetra

India is a holy land. Every piece of land in this country is associated with some divine personality who left his or her mark indelibly on that place. One can see a number of such holy places throughout the country. The state of Karnataka too has many such places to offer. One of the most famous and powerful of such kshetras is the Sri Mukthi Naga Kshetra, which is located off Mysore Road, within a kilometer from the village of Ramohalli, five kilometers towards the Dodda Alada Mara (Big Banyan Tree), and 18 kilometers from the Bangalore bus stand.
