Little hidden gem! This trek is short and sweet. Trail was very clear and easy one... When i went, the viewpoint was completely covered in mist and yet it was absolutely wonderful. Guides knew the area very well, explained the flora & fauna of the area throughout the trek. Forest officials were very friendly and focused on trekker's safety. Finally thanks to the govt of tamilnadu for the initiative!
