Valparai, nestled deep within the Anamalai hills of the Western Ghats, is a rare landscape where wilderness and human habitation exist in remarkable harmony. Blanketed by sprawling tea estates and surrounded by dense montane rainforests, mammals such as elephants, leopards, lion-tailed macaques, and gaurs quietly navigate the landscape. For bird enthusiasts, the canopy is alive with the calls of Great Hornbills, Black Eagles, and Malabar Grey Hornbills, while the undergrowth hides treasures like the Rufous Babbler and White-bellied Blue Flycatcher. This gallery brings together moments from Valparai's unique landscape - a reminder of the delicate balance that sustains life in this part of the Western Ghats.
