Kollimalai

This time we planned for a less known hill station in Tamilnadu.

Vinnu mama came from Hyderabad on 13th Jan. So we planned to celebrate Sankranti at Kolli Hills.


On 15th morning we (Me, dad, mummy, Vinnu mama, Sreekanth mama and Sangeetha atha) started at 12:30PM. The drive to Kolli hills was so scenic with more than 70 hair-pin bends. We booked accommodation in advance in a resort there. We checked in to the hotel by 1PM and ordered for food. The food came at 3PM :-(. The plan was to visit waterfalls on day 1 and see other tourist points on day 2.

After lunch we went to Akasagangai waterfall. We reached the entrance at 4PM and the guard there didnt allow us to go. He said, the falls entrance is closed by 4PM as it takes atleast 3hours to go and come back. We were very disappointed as all our plan is disturbed because of the lunch.

We visited the temple just opposite to the waterfalls entrance and then spent sometime at Mini waterfalls near the temple.


Returned back to hotel by 6PM and ordered for dinner. The dinner came at 9PM. There is only one kitchen and they prepare food as per customer's request. So it takes so much time to prepare food.

It was too cold. and we were not sure if we can get up early in the morning. It was very cold and got up in the morning at 7AM. Got ready and reached falls at 9AM. As soon as we reached falls, I got scared looking at the flow and height of the falls. Though its not a big one, It was the first time I saw one like that. I started crying to go back from there. Dad took me far from the fall and covered me with a towel. Mummy was with me and dad went to enjoy the falls. We spent two hours there and returned to hotel by 12. Checked out and started back.




We stopped at Rasipuram for lunch at 2:30PM. From there without any stop in between we reached home at 7PM.
