in Pinmapple11 months ago

Hey HIVE friends,
I am very happy to be a part of this community.
Today I will share my experience on a mountain walk, this mountain is located in south India. Satharam it's the name of that place. Satharam is located near to Thekkadi it's one of the best tourist spot in south India. Since the eightieth century, tIMG_2416.JPGhis Thekkadi and Idukki is famous for the spices and nature beauty. Am very happy to share that from this wonderful land.

I went to this Satharam on last week, I got an off day from my job, so I just planned to visit this Satharam mountains. We can't drive to this region because there is proper road, if you needed, you can use some off-road vehicle. I planned to walk to there with one of my friend. We planned to go at morning time there is no tree, so the atmosphere is too hot at noon.

There is some forest fire on last month, so we can't see much greenery there, since from last week there is some rain, so the grass starts to grow again I think with in one month the greenery should come back cover the mountain like a blanket.

We reached there nearly 9am at that time also the sunlight is very hard, and we feel the hotness. While walking we are discussing the nature beauty and the miracles, my friend told that every year there is some forest fire on this location on March April month. From May last and June first, the rain starts. All the small plants and grass are get fired, and they came back after the rain. If there is no fire, the plants grow in very high and we small animals can't eat it. Every year it happened for the small animals like rabbit, forest goat etc. When the forest fire was there, all these animals move towards the dense forest. They came back to these mountain only after the next rain for the fresh newly grown leafs.

These mountains were also rich with so many rare Ayurvedic plants. Some so the local people will come to here to collect those plants they may sell it or use for himself.

While walking through this mountain region realise the difficulty faced by the old generation with the absence of transportation, more than that am surprised to see some different type flowers and plants from the mountains

While coming back from the mountain we find dome local peoples they are going for their job. Most of them are working on tea plantations. This tea plantation have a great history, these plantations are done by the great east India company before Indian independence.
