We had trekked up to the top portion of Ponmudi Hill from the KTDC resort and enjoyed the sights and fresh air of the wild green valley below.
After we turned round the top hill where there was a police post, we came to the side from where we got a good view of the blue hills and the tea estate covered valley.
But there was smoke and black burnt hills.
A man was trying hard to stop a raging forest fire which had been eating up the hill sides.
I called up the tea estate manager to bring his labour force to help curb the fire.
The rare photos taken then are given here.
