500 Year Old Tree, Kodaikanal

This tree was so beautifully atmospheric. Standing at its base, looking at the twists and gnarls, the light seeping through the holes, it was easy to attribute spiritual qualities to such a thing.

It was not on any maps, and was not signposted. And the handful of locals we asked could not help us locate it. But I found some hints online to its location, meaning we could avoid paying a guide to take us here.
