In the jungle, the mighty jungle...

We just finished 3 days in the mountains, which is where all the spices and tea plantations are located. We also went to another wildlife sanctuary, Periyar, which is home to 2000 elephants, 50 tigers, sambar, guar, boar, bison, monkeys and a few others. But we still didn't see any elephants! But we did go for a 4 hour trek in the jungle and learned a lot about medicinal plants, ayurvedic medicine and religious uses of plants. We also also went to a spice garden, who knew cinnamon came from trees! And then we had a tour of a tea plantation. The tea here is sooo good, chai is actually just the normal tea but made with milk. And then there are other spicier teas like masala or cardamon etc.
