Overview
Kurangini hills are located in the Theni district of Tamil Nadu. This is a 5 kms trekking trail with moderate difficulty. There is a clearly defined unpaved path meandering along the greenery. One passes through different terrains along the trail. Shola patches leads to grasslands and then to a waterfall with crystal clear water where you can take a break and then to a plantation towards the end. There is abundant bird activity all along the trail. Ahead of the waterfall there is a watchtower which gives 360 degree view of the Kolukkumala and the adjoining peaks in Kerala. Kurangini is 16 kms from Bodinayakanur. Nearest airport is Madurai which is 106 kms away from Kurangini.
