Some images from the Sathy trip, 2910-011122
Narasimman was kind enough to take us to an organic farm, which his uncle, Sri Sundararaman, manages, with the help of his wife Smt Radha, and their son, Sri Krishnan. They were very hospitable, and did not mind our intrusion. We had some superb filter coffee, madew with milk that was fresh from the cow on the farm...and, after ages, yumm really-made-at-home murukku! We were also very fortunate to meet with Sri Chandrasekhar, an expert birder who is now more into the conservation space. Subbu Subramanya, he sent his regards to you! Sathyamangalam, 301022.

I added a lot to my collection of colourful buses with interesting messages."No one can replace me, One and only piece" says this bus proudly!
Our entry into the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve was marked by a long halt in front of a huge Peepal tree, on which several species of birds, including these beautiful Yellow-footed Green Pigeons, were foraging greedily.
Ginger is a major crop in this region.
