Kodaikanal Mountain Hike

A group of physicians and I traveled four hours by bus into the Western Ghats and the "hill station" city of Kodaikanal. At 9:30am we began a 20km hike down the mountain, which took us through forests and clouds and small villages into a mango plantation. The hike took 9 hours and 3 pairs of our shoes. We were tired and sore, but it was a gorgeous day!
