Kolli Hills: Twisted roads into a surreal hill station

The region was reigned over by Vavil Ori, a benevolent king during the year 200CE who is known to have kept the mighty trio of Chera, Chola, and Pandiya quests out of the region. The hills are home to some of the calmest and most silent landscapes, so sages and spiritualists choose these hills for meditation and penance. This place is equally strange and eerie, owing to the unexplored terrain and thick vegetation. The Tamil Nadu Forest Department manages three reserve forests, Ariyur Solai, Kundur Nadu, and Pulianjolai, which are home to a plethora of endemic flora and fauna.

After passing through all the spectacle the zone of coffee, pepper plantations, and paddy fields which is nothing but Semmedu. Semmedu is dotted with a few stores, tea stalls, and a couple of hotel options. The Seekuparai viewpoint and the Agaya Gangai waterfalls are upcoming points to stop and feel on a longer haul.
