    Start your day early and head to the Agaya Gangai Waterfalls, hidden in the lush forests of Kolli Hills. Marvel at the cascading waterfalls and take a refreshing dip in the cool waters. For the adventurous, try trekking up to the top of the falls for a stunning view of the surrounding hills. In the afternoon, visit the Masila Falls, a short trek from Agaya Gangai.

Afterward, visit the Siddhar Caves, believed to be the meditation chambers of ancient sages. These natural caves have stunning rock formations and offer a glimpse into the spiritual history of the region. End your day by trekking up to Selur View Point, an ideal spot to watch the sunset over the rolling hills.
