The highest peak in India south of the Himalayas is called Anamudi. The Malayalam word means Elephant’s Head. The 2.7 Kms high peak is easily visible from a distance. When I saw it again, I was struck by how apt the description is. It does not take too much of imagination to see an elephant’s head in the shape of this peak.
The morning started off sunny
Clouds rolled in early in the afternoon
Anamudi looks lovely in the distance
Anamudi is the highest peak in the Nilgiris, and it does look like an elephant’s back
Clouds began to gather behind the Elephant’s head
There was a little haze even in the morning
The morning started sunny with a mild haze, but by midday clouds had started gathering around the peak. By early afternoon the peak was barely visible. The clouds did not lift before we left the neighbourhood. The changing weather gave me a chance to get a variety of views of the peak in half a day. Looking at these photos brings back memories of a nice walk.
