Understand

Nelliyampathy, also called the Poor Man's Ooty, is an unexplored virgin hill station that is famous for its bio-farms, plantations, and orange gardens. It is nestled in the highly sensitive Western Ghats and was previously covered in dense teak forests inhabited by tribals. Over time, it became a popular destination for English planters and developed into a major plantation belt. This is one of the few places in India where multiple crops like pepper, cardamom, tea, coffee, and oranges are grown. Apart from the plantations, Nelliyampathy also offers breathtaking hill ranges and cliffs that attract adventurous tourists. Recently, Kerala Tourism has recognized these hills as one of the best areas for trekking. For accommodation and more information, you can contact Nelliyampathi tourism at 9514834350.
