Answer:
Hilly areas of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu transform into blue stretches because of the moist condition and due to the particular trees found in those areas. That's why hilly areas attract so many tourists. For example, Kurinji is a shrub that grows in the forests of the Western Ghats in South India.
