Nallamudi View point — Attraction in Tamil Nadu

The views from Nallamudi View point is absolutely beautiful.

The place is not hard to reach in the non-peak hours of early morning, if you reach just in time for Gate opening which is 9:00am. We had a delay of 20 mins for gate opening due to Elephant herd movement close to view point, hence forest guards requested us to wait.

The Roads: Surely they have some potholes in comparison with other roads leading to Valparai but not that difficult for a decent rider or driver and the scenery is so beautiful that, you won’t feel most of those bumps from potholes. During rush hour it might be tricky to give way in some of the narrow stretches and might take a little more time to navigate and to reach the place.

Entry Fee/Parking: They take ₹50 (0.42 British Pound / 0.57 USD) as entry fee and it’s taken by the Forest range officers stationed there. Parking is available at the entry gate for bikes and about 100mtrs down for Cars and Tempo Travellers.

Accessibility to Viewpoint: From the Entry gate it’s about 500mtrs flat walk and last 100mtrs slight ascent nothing anyone can’t do, as it’s a simple walk for anyone who doesn’t have any problems with walking 😀 Families with elderly and small kids also easily made it to the view point. There is a small elevated rooftop view point with seating which gives 180• view of Anaimalai hills.

Best time to visit: Start by 8-8:30am from Valparai town and reach by 9-9:30 to the entry gate for a less crowded and a peaceful visit. Later the crowd might be more especially on holiday or weekends.

So, it’s a must visit place if you have a morning to spare in Valparai and it was worth the 2hrs spent for the same. We travelled on Diwali...

One of the beautiful places located in Valparai is a major tourist destination. It is just 10 km from the town, and the road to the viewpoint is narrow and patchy in some areas. If a vehicle comes from the opposite direction, it can be difficult to pass. However, the view on the way to the destination is breathtaking, especially during the monsoon season.

Once you reach the destination, there is a small parking area available, which is somewhat off-road. It is recommended to use vehicles with high ground clearance for easier access.

The entrance fee is 50 Rs per person. You need to walk about 500 meters to reach the viewpoint, but the walk is worth it. The path to the viewpoint is beautiful, lined with tea plantations. Keep some water with you, as it might be needed after the walk. Please note not to throw plastic anywhere; keep it with you and dispose of it in a proper waste bin once you return.

At the viewpoint, there is a small building with a bench where you can enjoy the outstanding view of the mountains, waterfalls, foggy weather, and clouds. It's a great place to enjoy the beauty of nature and take some nice photos.

On your way back, you can stop at a small tea shop near the entrance, where you can enjoy some nice...
