Kolli Hills Hidden Gem | Place Near Bangalore

Alright Bangalore peeps, feeling the city squeeze a little too tight?** This past weekend, I ditched the traffic jams and towering buildings for a breath of fresh mountain air in the enchanting Kolli Hills. Trust me, this hidden gem in Tamil Nadu, just 280 km from Bangalore, is the perfect escape for a rejuvenating 2-day trip.

Why Kolli Hills?

Let's be honest, popular hill stations can be overflowing with tourists. But Kolli Hills? Untouched tranquility! lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and serene vibes make it ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. Plus, for the thrill-seekers out there, 70 hairpin bends to reach location, lots of spices to purchase, trekking points and some local delicious food.

Day 1: Hitting the Road

An early start is key to beat the Bangalore traffic. Cruising down NH 7, I fueled up on a delicious breakfast at a local gem (those masala dosa dreams!) must eat to Thulasi Hotel at Krishnagiri if you miss it then any highway hotel in Tamil ?Nadu will be good till Selam. By afternoon, I was surrounded by the verdant embrace of Kolli Hills. After checking into my pre-booked hotel Kanna Resort(super cozy!), it was time to explore.

Aagaya Gangai Water Falls: My first stop was the stunning Aagaya Gangai Falls. The cascading waters surrounded by lush greenery were pure magic. We have to step down and up close to 1200 steps. It looks tough, but with sufficient breaks anyone can do it with ease. Certainly not a place to miss. A must visit. Highly recommended.

Day 2: Boat House and Botanical Garden

Begin your day with a visit to the Botanical Garden, a lush oasis showcasing a diverse array of flora indigenous to the region. Stroll through the verdant pathways, marveling at the vibrant blooms and rare plant species.

Next, head to the Boat House, where you can indulge in a serene boat ride amidst the tranquil waters of a pristine lake. Let the gentle breeze caress your skin as you soak in the scenic beauty surrounding you.

After that, wander through the local market, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and shop for souvenirs. Don't forget to pick up some local spices to add a touch of Kolli Hills' flavor to your culinary endeavors back home.

Kolli Hills stole my heart with its serenity and natural beauty. It's the perfect weekend getaway to recharge and reconnect with nature. So ditch the crowds, pack your bags, and get ready to conquer your very own Kolli Hills adventure!
