Shaped by nature’s forces for over two and a half billion years, these mountains are an ancient storehouse of stories. Yet the most dramatic transformations have taken place only within the past two centuries, driven by human influence — from colonial-era plantations and expanding railway lines to growing settlements. This is the story of India’s very first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve — the Nilgiris — one of Asia’s most intensively studied ecological regions. It is also the first feature-length documentary about this landscape, taking us on a journey of discovery and uncovering the many secrets that make this region so incredibly special.
