The weather has been pleasant and cools these days (in Chennai) and it wasn’t raining either but still, the clouds, continue to seize the
sky, kept low the temperature that lures me to dream of mountains. Though not
exactly, I feel a mild cold in the air to embrace me and my mind cling to the
memories of the same feel. It’s been more than a year I visited mountains or stayed
overnight other than the home esp. this cool weather is impossible to restrain the
thoughts of Smokey Haven or what I call a bird paradise – Thandikudi – nestled
in the lower Palani hills of Kodaikanal. It was a place that wasn’t too cold as
Kodai or hot as plains but comfortable weather to stay all day out exploring
the locality of coffee and pepper plantations and listening to birds in woods. 
Glad my uncle built his wood houses there,
so it was always a hassle-free and home-like stay for us and it would be fun if
two more families of my uncles join the stay. I too used to the comfort of the
woodhouse or to say my uncle had built the house easily accessible by the wheelchair
so that I could visit it anytime without difficulty. He knows how I enjoy
staying into nature or travel to hills and the woodhouse was first executed
for personal use before the idea of renting happen. The weather is one pleasing
thing about this place and no matter what the season was, it never drops out of
comfort and the weather in Chennai right away is something that makes the mind think
about. Perhaps due to Aadi (the season with high wind blow, falls between
July-August) is believed to bring a successful year of rain and these cloudy
moments brings hope as the southwest monsoon had smashed this year.
I leave you with some nature and cool images
for the glimpses of the locality from different times of the visit. I love
being there any time of the season and it has something to please or offer with
the arrival of differences in nature like the migration of birds, flowering
environment and wind.

Great photos .. Happy weekend
What a fabulous location!
Oh, how I wish I had a house in the hills to escape to, especially now with our 33 C weather. The trees and forests look so peaceful. Your uncle's house is cozy and inviting. Noticed that bird resting in the cables, wonder what it is?
Your uncle's house makes a great getaway place for holiday makers. So nice to be able to enjoy the cool weather at your uncle's house. Have a beautiful weekend.
