Are there any places in India that look like Europe?
Switzerland? Bali?
No. It's kolli hills in Tamil nadu.
Often shadowed by her sisters( ooty,kodaikanal,munnar), Kolli malai is beautiful small mountain range in western range in Tamil nadu.
Legends name this mountain as “ kolli pavai “roughly translated as “mountain of death" because of 70 odd hair pin binds , it has more fascinating yet mysterious stories of siddha and herbs. The early Hindu literature talks about the actual existence of the Kolli Pavai ghost on the top of these hills and in this way, they have earned the ultimate destination this name. This image or spirit used to tempt the wayfarers and kill them.
It Offers you variety of choices, you can explore surprise waterfall, unlock the secrets of ancient caves, enjoy sunset or sunset at viewpoints with a sip of coffee.
It is definitely not for faint hearted as the journey to the peak has dangerous hair pin bends and forests, but a perfect gateway for weekend.
Another unexplored treasure is meghamalai, translated to cloud kissed mountain,also known as high wavy mountains, another reason to visit this beautiful place is due to its fantastic tea estates and rich plantations of pepper, cardamom and cinnamon.
There is also a dense forest situated near Meghamalai where one can find majestic animals like the sambar, tiger, leopard, elephant as well as cheetahs, gaur and spotted deer.
The best part is, it is unexplored, untouched, and consequently unpolluted destination which hasn’t yet been overrun by tourists.
India is not a country, but an emotion, filled with diverse culture, religion, region yet united as Indians. There are many gems hidden amid the cloud waiting to be explored.
