Kudremukha receives an average annual rainfall of 7000 mm, largely due to the forest types of mainly evergreen vegetation that can be found here.

At stake, aftger all, is the world’s greatest forest. Beneath the entangling personal motives, the debate is one of the oldest in the Western Philosophical tradition, between ‘nomos’ and ‘physis’. The ancient Greeks saw existence as a contest between ‘nomos’ (rationality/order/artifice) and ‘physis’ (irrationality/chaos/nature). In environmental terms, Thoreau, who saw the landscape as imbued with an essential wildness that could be heedlessly destroyed, embodies ‘physis’. ‘Physis’ says, Let Nature be out guide; step out of the way of the environment, and it will know how to keep itself healthy ‘Nomos’ is the postmodern philosopher who argues that the entire landscape is constructed -- that it has no essential, innate qualities, but is simply a reflection of chance and human action. ‘Nomos’ says that no one ecological state is inherently preferable to any other, but that all of them are a product of human choices (even the ones with no people, since we will have made the choice not to go there). ~ Page 374
