Meghamalai, Tamil Nadu

Been there recently?

The name Meghamalai translates into “cloud-covered hills,” and that itself amply describes the place. The town usually remains engulfed in mist and fog during the monsoon and is one of the wettest places as well. To reach the place, also known as the High Wavy Mountains, tourists have to negotiate a thrilling, memorable, and nervy drive through 18 hairpin bends. If you are a nature lover who loves tranquillity, then Meghamalai, at over 4600 feet above sea level and surrounded by a rich variety of flora and fauna, is the place to be. With dams, grasslands, plantations, hills, lakes, waterfalls, wildlife sanctuaries, frequent sightings of animals, and comfortable stay options, Meghamalai is an unexplored rejuvenating escapade. Located in the Theni district, Meghamalai is about 60 kilometres from Theni and 135 kilometres from Madurai. The nearest rail and air links are at Madurai.
