The Nelliyampathihills in Palakkad district with their picture post card looks is a traveller’s delight. The place gets its name from the pockets of Nelli (gooseberry) trees that grow lavishly around the region.
Nellikotta, also known as Paadagiri, is the highest among the hill ranges. Other hills are Vellachimudi, ValiaBaanamala, Mayamudi, and Vaalvechanmala.
The south-western border of the hill ranges is Parambikulam, where a wildlife sanctuary is located.
With a lot of coffee and tea plantations, this location offers immense possibilities for trekking and bird watching. A ride through the winding and woody road will be an enriching experience for a nature lover. Hairpin curves on the way make the journey adventurous.
Waterfalls and small hillocks, too, add to the charm of the spot. Nelliyampathi is a favourite choice of filmmakers to shoot their dream-like song sequences.
Nelliyampathy is located en route to Pothundydam. The dam is a popular picnic spot with boating facilities.
Private resorts and lodgings are available at several places on the way to the hill station. Bio-farms are another attraction here.
