Hill station

The hill stations in Kerala offers some of the best spectacular views of the nature. Almost in the entire district the hills gives the tourist an energizing atmosphere.

Trekking, rock climbing and other adventures activities can be enliven in ones journey to these hills stations of Kerala.

Nelliyampathy: This fascinating hill station is at a height of 467 to 1572 m above sea level. At least 10 hair pin bends have to be negotiated on the ghat road that passes through the breathtaking evergreen forests of the Sahya Ranges. Seethakundu at Nelliyampathy offers a panoramic view of about one third of Palakkad sightseeing.

Attappady: A beautiful synthesis of mountains, rivers and forests, Attappady is of great interest to anthropologists. This is the habitat of many tribes like the Irulars and Mudugas. The Malleeswaran peak is worshipped as a gigantic Sivalinga by the Adivasis who also celebrate the Sivarathri festival with great fervour. A PWD Rest House, a VIP Guest House and a few private hotels offers accommodation at Agali.

Dhoni: It takes a three hour trek from the base of the Dhoni hills, to reach this reserve forest area with its small, beautiful waterfall. This hill country is the delight of trekkers. The community hall at Kalikatty is used as a camping base for trekkers.

is there a gas station and or a Mc Donalds there also?

I'll mark that on my map of the last places I want to see first.

I know I need to get off the farm more often,but,after going to that site I still have no idea where the he!! these places are--makes me nervous to visit places I can't pronounce--the Nam was bad enough Trekking--you mean like by train or something

India is a beautiful place to visit and possibly live but not likley in my lifetime. What a shame! But thanks for the post.

Ohhhhhh,India,thanx cap,why visit?? every time I have a tech question on one of these toys or another,it seems I get to talk to someone from there anyway

carrying water can get a bit tiresome i think.....

"Water – Carry a bottle of mineral water with you at all times. Do ensure that the seal is not tampered with when buying mineral water bottles. Do not drink water from public taps or road-side vendors. If you feel like having a juice, please have it from a hygienic restaurant than from a road-side shack."
