Trek To The Mystic Kollimalai Hills

Into The Wild East - Trek To The MYSTIC KOLLIMALAI HILLS

Kolli hills 
When you hear the name KOLLI HILLS  its not just Bike ride through 71 hairpin curves nor the huge mystic hills that are pictured. Hidden in the western ghats are these astonishing steeply gouged valleys, numerous Brooks, the wild Aiyaru river, varied vegetation and lush jungle thickets are an awaiting treat to our eyes.
AAGAYAGANGAI water falls(Aakash ganga) is the highlight of these majestic hills, hidden in those densely vegetated valleys is this psychedelic 300ft pristine waterfalls.
