Kolli Hills, Eastern Ghats



Kolli hills is a small mountain range located in central Tamil Nadu in Namakkal district of India. The mountains rise to 1300 m in height, they are part of Eastern Ghats which runs parallel to the east coast of India. Kolli is site of pilgrimage for the famous Arapaleeswarar temple but also popular for the hikers and nature lovers. Akaya Gangai is the waterfall situated near the temple and it’s a great trekking experience to walk 1050 steps down to visit the falls. Another waterfalls is the Masi waterfalls which is easily accessible by foot. Anish enjoyed this place so much with waterfalls, boating and natural parks in nearby areas. What I liked with the Kolli hills is, it’s not touristic like other hill stations of Tamil Nadu. Lush green forest, the 70 hair pin bends to drive to the top, very less hotels, buildings and more vegetation/greenery makes it a perfect holiday spot for a weekend.
