Visit the Manjolai Hills, located in the Western Ghats, surrounded by lush green forests with Tea estates and a serene atmosphere. Enjoy a family hike, get a panoramic view of the mountains from the Manjolai viewpoint, experience the fresh tea aroma, and spot some wildlife. Please note that the area is only accessible by car or bike, so rent one beforehand.
Admire the spectacular Dravidian architecture of the Nellaiappar Temple. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has a vibrant history and contains several shrines and mandapams inside. They have daily poojas and they also have the practice of bringing the temple chariot outside for some occasions only. Afterward, head to the nearby Papanasam Dam for a relaxing family picnic and take a dip in the cool waters.
Plan a day trip to one of the most popular waterfalls in Tamil Nadu, the Courtallam Falls. Experience the soothing sound of waterfalls, enjoy a natural jacuzzi, and take a relaxing bath under the therapeutic waterfalls. Bring dry clothes, towels, and food. Enjoy several other waterfalls nearby such as Old Courtallam Falls, Tiger Falls & Main Falls.
Complete your trip of exploring waterfalls by visiting the Agasthiyar Falls. It's quite hidden and requires a small trek to reach, making it a perfect family adventure. Enjoy the tranquil environment and the small pond below the falls, which is ideal for swimming. Carry durable shoes & enjoy the offbeat path.
Do carry along extra towels, clothes, & bottles of water that cause no litter along the way to preserve the beauty of nature. If you have extra time, visit other nearby attractions such as the Kudiraiyar Dam, Sanjeevi Hills or Manimuthar Dam. If you have less time, skip either the Agasthiyar Falls or Nellaiappar Temple. Remember to stick to the timings, as we don't want you to miss out on anything.
