Nelliyampathy

Surrounded by tea and coffee plantations, Nelliyampathy is best reached by car. There’s also the option of taking a bus to nearby Palakkad and then hiring a taxi from there {this may take longer though}. Once there, you can drive around taking in the views. There’s Pothundy Dam, breathtaking valley views from Seetharkundu, and treks to nearby Mampara. You can stay at budget resorts or hotels here. However, there aren’t plenty of options so make sure you book in advance.
