Kolli hills , A Nature paradise
Akasagangai is three kilometres from the Sri
Arapaleeswarar temple. A flight of 700-odd steps leads to the base of
the falls. The weather is pleasant and the flesh is willing, and we
decide to make the journey downwards. Halfway down, as the steps get
steeper and the sounds of water crashing against the rocks become
louder, I am not sure it is such a good idea. The sight of exhausted
travellers hauling themselves on the way back is a reminder that what
goes down must also come up.
he area offers ample opportunities for trekking. Since
the weather is pleasant most of the day, it's a good idea to just walk
through the meandering paths that traverse the hills. There are ashrams
that offer calm, scenic spaces for those who want to do some soul
searching. Though you could engage in serious timepass just as well by
sitting beside a stream with a hot cup of chai. Kolli Hills is far from
spectacular.
It has many small falls, forests, trekking routes, etc..
People are also friendly.
But there is no good hotels
