Start your day with a refreshing dip at the Kumbakkarai Falls! A serene waterfall located amidst the greenery of the Western Ghats, it's a perfect way to escape the heat and city rush. The falls can be reached with an easy hike through a forest path, offering a picturesque view of the surrounding hills and a natural pool for swimming.
Hop on a winding road to reach another beautiful spot in the Western Ghats that offers a spectacular view of the plains around - Meghamalai. Packed with cardamom and tea plantations, this scenic drive lets you relish the unspoilt nature of the region. Make sure to stop by on the way and enjoy the locals producing spices that make it one of the coveted fog-draped destinations in South India.
Continue your day with a refreshing experience at the Suruli Falls. Located in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, these falls rush down from a height of around 150 feet creating a mesmerizing view. Take a refreshing dip in the pool, enjoy the view and the vibrant atmosphere around. There are many local food vendors nearby where you can taste some authentic South Indian delicacies.
Wrap up your exciting day on a serene note with a visit to the Vaigai Dam. The fourth-largest dam in Tamil Nadu, it is built across the Vaigai River, adding charm and beauty to its surroundings. Rent a boat and take a ride along the dam's backwaters, enjoy the sunset and its beautiful reflections. Don't forget searching for local street food and snacks to satisfy your hunger on the way back.
If you have more time, add a trip to the Krishna Temple and Megamalai Wildlife Sanctuary for an adventurous day filled with stunning views of lush forests and waterfalls. However, if you're running short of time, skip Meghamalai and head straight to Suruli Falls, but make a point to reach there before noon for the best experience.
