Under the white blanket...















Pytthal mala - a hilltop in Kannur district with a height of about 3500fts from the sea level is one of the tourist spots in the district.

the hilltop is a typical shole forest, with its grass lands and vegetation.

during rainy season, its difficult to reach here. leeches, fog and fallen trees makes you in knee-deep trouble.

the fog, will blind you and will chill you to the bones.

on the top, our hair, get beaded with white drops of fog.

but beware, you may meet an elephant on the way at any moment!!

The 'White Out'




when rain is in reign on the hill top...

trees are just sillhoutes...


the photo is from the hilltop of pythal mala
i visted it during the last monsoon season...
lonely on the top with only white around me i wondered whether i have reached directly to the sky..! !

in the 'white out' i lost my way and was wandering frantically to find the way down into the forest ...

then suddenly the white wall in front of me melted away and i saw these silhoutted rock and tree just in front of me..

i was so happy to see smthing not white in the distance..

my batteries were almost running out in the cold but i mangaed to get this somehow...

....for the time i was in the 'white out' on the hilltop...
