With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Kotagiri, 35 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Catherine Falls, Longwood Shola and Elk Falls. Locals are also likely to point you toward Coimbatore, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Marudhamalai Hill Temple. (But we’d also recommend Perur Pateeswarar Temple and Ramar Temple.)
