Info About Nelliyampathy



From the town Nenmara in Palakkad District,the cloud -cared peaks of the majestic Nelliyampathy hill ranges are to be sight behold.The height of these hill ranges are from 467m to 1572m. To reach Nelliyampathy,one has to take the road starting from Nenmara that proceeds to the Pothundy Dam.There are about more than Ten hairpins while travelling.The palakappandi estate is considered as the main land mark of the hill station. It is famous of its old bungalow built on the British Rule.
The pothundy dam is great for its facilities for boating and a nice picnic spot.the cold winds cools our mind.As the height increases the temperature decreases and view point increases. Palakkad district is visible from the top. 


 Yellow Bamboo.On the way up, those interested in bio farming can take a close look at the privately managed farms and also vast expanses of tea estates managed by different plantation companies. The hills of Nelliyampathy are also well known for its orange cultivation.

Privately owned hotels and resorts are located at various points, as one goes up the hills of Nelliyampathy. The bio-farms located here are a major landmark as one proceeds up before reaching the topmost point at Palagapandi estate. The estate has a quaint bungalow, built during the period of the British rule in India, and has now been converted into a private owned resort. At Kaikatty, a community hall is available, which is usually used as a base by those interested in trekking.


Not far away from Palagapandy is Seetharkundu where one can have a fantastic valley view, and a 100 m high waterfall providing an added attraction. From Palagapandy, one can trek or go by jeep to reach Mampara; another breathtaking vantage point at Nelliyampathy. The area in and around Palagapandy estate has tea, cardamom and coffee plantations with adjoining hills allowing one to catch a glimpse of the wildlife in the form of Indian gaur, elephants, leopards, giant squirrel etc. and is also a paradise for birdwatchers.

While you are in Palakkad , you are only around 50 km away from the hill resort of Nelliyampathy, well known for its luscious oranges and  wild life trails among many other reasons. A drive along the hair pen bends will be a visual delight as it offers some of the best snap shot moments for you in the form of lush green orchards, paddy fields, rolling valleys and tumbling waterfalls. The pleasant climate and the breath taking natural finery do attract many tourists from far and wide; however, Nelliyampathystill remains one of the lesser known hills stations that make it comparatively quiet and tranquil. Nelliyampathy is a popular trekking spot.
