Pre monsoon we have very limited options to explore and hike. Kotagiri is one of the few places we can still visit, and try to avoid the tourist crowd of Ooty.
Trek to Kotagiri This time. Kotagiri offers some of the most picturesque trekking trails in the state. Adorned with beautiful tea estate, lush green surrounding, rumbling rivers and meadows, and not so tough at all, Kotagiri is just perfect for the 1st timers and the trekkers who don’t mind a relaxed one and don’t wanna miss the beauty of westernghats at its best season.
