Located amidst the lush greenery of the hills, the Agaya Gangai Waterfall is a must-visit destination for every traveller. The breathtaking view of water cascading down from a height of 300 feet is absolutely mesmerising. One can take a dip in the streams of Agaya Gangai, which is believed to have medicinal properties. The trekking trail to the waterfall that passes through the forest is an added attraction.
Constructed during the reign of the Chola dynasty, the Arappaleeswarar Temple is a major pilgrimage centre in the region. The unique feature of this temple is its 1008 lingams, which are considered to be a representation of the Hindu God, Lord Shiva. The serene atmosphere of the temple is an ideal place to attain peace and tranquillity.
If you have more time to spare, explore the viewpoints of Kolli Hills, which offer a panoramic view of the mountains. Try the local delicacies like Kollipavai Biryani and Millet Sweet Pongal. If you have less time, skip the viewpoints and head straight to the Arappaleeswarar Temple. Avoid visiting the Agaya Gangai Waterfall during monsoon as it can be dangerous.
