India's Blue Hills

Tessa McGregor takes to the hills- India’s Nilgiri Hills, which, once every twelve years , turn blue as the kurunji flower blossoms.

The hills get their name..the Blue Hills… from this spectacular synchronised flowering which attracts thousands of tourists each day.

But many people also come to see a rare goat-antelope called the Nilgiri tahr….sometimes known as the cloud-goat, which is found almost entirely in the south –west of India, and which has become a conservation icon for the area.

As many mountain goats , sheep and deer around the world are threatened by hunting and habitat loss, Tessa meets the biologists studying these often neglected mammals and uncovers the remarkable story of the cloud goats of India’s Blue Hills.
