5 Untouched Hill Stations in South India

There might be picturesque locations all over India that you’ve visited at least once because of their popularity; but if you haven’t been to the undiscovered, unseen and unfelt places, you’ve seen nothing yet. Hill stations are an important part of the country’s attractiveness; they’re like the pretty cover page of a notebook you want to buy at once. But when it comes to untouched hill stations, they’re sort of like those rustic pages of your old diary where you’ve written one of your poems, which are short and sweet but also have so much depth. They come from your heart: just like these undiscovered hill stations of the south India— the land of immense natural beauty, which you should surely check out on your next visit.

You’ve heard of Kerala, you’ve heard of its beauty and serenity; you might even have been to the pretty state once, but have you taken a look at this quaint hill station known as Idukki? This small district of Kerala houses a sleepy hill station with the stream of Periyar flowing through its valleys. With beautiful and quiet holiday resorts perched upon and around the lush, rich green hills, Idukki is one of the most picturesque locations of Kerala. So if you’re looking for some cool air amid the looming mountains on the sides of River Periyar, Idukki is your best friend!

Close to Munnar, and in the Idukki district of Kerala, lies this jolly little hill station, which is named so after the Lake Devikulam that flows across its trenches. Legend has it that Goddess Sita bathed in this lake, the name of which has now been changed to Sita Devi Lake. Amongst the surrounding hills, and tall, swaying trees, this lake is known for its clear, calming water that will soothe your senses even if you’re just sitting at the banks of it. Waterfalls and pretty flowers, twittering birds and rich trees make this hill station one of the most alluring locations of Kerala.

You can embark on a trek upon this peak, and enjoy the luscious Hanuman Gundi Waterfalls, which can be seen from atop the hill.
