Waterfall goats
In the highest reaches of the western Ghats, cloud touched peaks rise above the forest.聽These grassy islands in a sea of trees have their own unique animals, nilgiri tahr whose聽ancestors came from the distant Himalayas, where other tahr still live.聽The hills rise to over 2500m and clouds - harbingers of the monsoon - condense and cool around their peaks, watering the forest below with 10m of rain a year. India's highest waterfall thunders from these rain drenched heights.
