Just a two-hour drive from Trivandrum, Ponmudi is not quite the hill station you might be used to. It’s quite literally, the top of a hill and very little else in terms of infrastructure. But the view from the top makes it absolutely worthwhile. Especially if there is mist, in which case, it looks like the Floating Mountains of China. Beautiful! En route, there are also two waterfalls. The Kallar one is easier to get too as it’s not too far off the road, but the Meenmutty one, more dramatic as it’s three-tiered, is slightly tricky to reach. So go on, ditch Ooty and Kodai in favour of this newly discovered hill station.
