Thirumurthy Falls, Udumalpet

The 1 Km trek from the base of Thirumurthy hills to reach Panchalinga Falls was pleasant. Surrounded by tall towering hills,lush greenery everywhere, amazing rock formations,exotic trees,the sound of the stream meandering downhill of the falls & racket of rhesus monkeys waiting to pounce on unsuspecting visitors to snatch away a satchel of food or your precious camera. A shower in the thundering Panchalinga falls was exhiliratingly divine.This place is a must visit. Pack your bags NOW for a day picnic from Coimbatore.(100 km)y .
Thirumurthy hills is quintessential of the irresistible pulchritude of Udumalpet !
