A forest range 75 kms. (travel time: 2 ½ hours) from Palghat, the
Nelliyampathy hills comprise a chain of ridges cut off from one another by
valleys of dense evergreen forests and orange plantations The height of the
hills range from 467 meters to the tallest peak Padagiri looming at 1572 meters.
Accessing Nelliyampathy from Palghat is a sensation on its own, as you negotiate
over a dozen hairpin curves on the ghat road passing through the fascinating
jungles of the Sahya Ranges. En route, 17 kms. from Palghat, the shimmering
Pothundi Reservoir and its manicured surroundings make for an ideal stop over.
