Yesterday afternoon Sam and Senthil took me out for a gander at the scenery. We drove out to a famous local viewpoint where there were stunning views in every direction (except behind, which was the car park). Ahead of us the Eastern Ghats mountain range rose up, and then beyond that the plains stretched away far to the East. Below us was a huge gorge choc-a-bloc full of elephants, tigers, crocodiles and leopards (and other things too, like trees, but they are not as exciting). Eagles soared overhead, and to the North beyond craggy peaks the river spread into a dammed reservoir (no need to swear Mike, it's only a reservoir). To the South, further down the gorge, the Sumil plateau, where cobras and pythons abound.
We did some scrambling up and down cliffs and then headed back for dinner and a glass of brandy. Very pleasant.
