The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of... Nothing!

In order to ease our re-integration back into everyday Indian city life we dragged ourselves away from the beach into the beautiful scenery of the Coorg region of South India. Staying in the middle of the forest at a homestay with a Canadian homestay was more like being in Canada (or New Zealand) than anywhere in Inida.

With a couple of nights just spent camping out in a two man tent under the stars and full moon, the peace and quiet was a welcome relief after the constant noise and pollution that hovers around most of India. The hiking was made easy as our base in the forest was central to most of the popular hikes in the area. I think it's got to be one of the only places in Inida where you can go off for a day without seeing another person..... sheer bliss!
