A trip to these hills will soothe the soul.
South Indian hill ranges offer so much greenery that getting lost in them is easy. The air is crispier, the elevation is doable, and varied plantations stretch
along the sides, which are picturesque. You can have photo-op sessions on hill points, trek to your favorite hilltop, and relish the velvety plantations down the slope.
Here are the hill stations in South India that are worth it.
Wayanad
The district of Wayanad is a hub for travel enthusiasts. From rich historical evidence in the numerous caves to boating experience, from breathtaking treks up Chembra Peak to shikhara rides, Wayanad has it all.
Yercaud
Fondly known as the Jewel of the South, Yercaud means lake forest. This small hill station is near Salem. Yercaud remains a not-so-popular tourist destination, so the beauty is still raw and untouched.
Vythiri
Taking a trip to Vythiri means relinquishing oneself to the lap of nature. This hill station boasts a serene, quiet life, and if you need a break from urban humdrum, Vythiri is the place to be.
Munnar
Pristine waterfalls, velvet tea plantations, foggy valleys- these three sum up Munnar as a whole. Chocolates are a specialty here. If tea processing plants interest you, Munnar has those too.
Kolli Hills
Kolli Hills is a haven for people who like bike ride trips. You will have to maneuver 70 hairpin bends to reach Kolli. The essence of the trip lies in the swooping green landscape and the awesome climate.
Kodaikanal
Kodaikanal is a favorite spot for people looking for a vacation, up in the mountains. There are flowing meadows and lush valleys, waterfalls you can take dips in, and magical food you can devour on. Once you get the true essence of Kodaikanal, you cannot help but return often.
Ponmudi
Tiny, gently flowing rivers are the specialty of Ponmudi. Situated in the Western Ghats in Kerala, Ponmudi's mist-covered mountains at dusk are a sight to revel in. The rare exotic flora and fauna make Ponmudi a beautiful place to visit.
Devikulum
The place gets its name from the legend that Sita used to bathe in Devi Lake. Spruced with spices and tea plantations, Devikulum has scenic waterfalls to check out as well. Meesapulimala in Devikulum offers trekking among the forests to camp at the end of a hill, under the stars.
