Neelakurinji flowering - September 2006. Rajamalai Hills about an hour's drive from Munnar in Idukki district, Kerala, India. This region also forms part of the Eravipuram National Park that is home to the Nilgiri Tahr, a protected species. When the Neelakurinji flowers once in 12 years it carpets the slopes of these hills turning them a violet-blue as far as the eye can see. We drove up the hills specialy to witness this once-in-12-years natural phenomenon and we wern't disappointed! (see some of the photographs we took at Neelakurinji Flowering 2006 )
