Attractions
Perched at an altitude of 3,605.64 metres above sea level, Chathurangapara’s unique feature is the constant presence of cool breeze, which keeps away even the warmth of the afternoon Sun. There is also a windmill farm offering a special sight to visitors. Moreover, from the viewpoint at Chathurangapara, one can enjoy panoramic views of the farmlands on the plains in Tamil Nadu, Bodinayakanur, Thevaram, Kochu Thevaram Anakkaramedu, Pushpakkandam and Mankuthi Medu. The KSRTC bus travels as close to Chathurangapara as possible, making it convenient for even elderly people to visit the picturesque place in the hills.
