Vinod, the man behind all of us...literally. :)
Ramani sir...fully loaded.

Malabar Pit Viper, this creature had a tough time with us. Rather, we had a lucky time with this creature since it is poisonous.
Ramzan, comtemplating or resting? Not sure..
Day 2, morning..under the tarpaulin. These came handy as it rained that night.

A view of the majestic Western Ghats...we nearly didnt move after reaching the grasslands, since the view was sooo mesmerising.
A lone lensman...Here, it is Ramani sir.

I had to retake this shot. I am also sure i should have done this shot better. :) Maybe the next time guys, ok?
