Kumily, India

Kumily is a lush green tropical mountainous place in the western ghats complete with monkeys and geckos that walk on the ceiling of my room. The hills are beautiful and covered with tea and spice plantations. I really loved seeing how all the spices (pepper, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, nutmeg, coffe, cocoa, etc) are grown and harvested. Oh, and rubber trees too... very cool!

Tea plantation

Bulk spices are sold at stores in town.
