The flowers began blooming in Chaturangapara around two weeks after it bloomed in Kallipara. Interestingly, it is easier to access the other location from one destination.

The blue hills
Thousands of visitors had been visiting Kallipara to enjoy the seasonal neelakurinji. Now, the tourism department and the panchayat authorities hope that tourists would reach Chaturangapara to see the hills that are covered in beautiful neelakurinji bushes.
