Nelliyampathy Hill Station

To reach Nelliyampathy, one has to take the road starting from Nenmara that proceeds to the Pothundy Dam. There are about 10 hairpin bends that have to be negotiated on the way to Nelliyampathy. The hills of Nelliyampathy are also well known for its orange cultivation.

It is a true Garden of Eden for students of life sciences, professional scientists and field biologists.Perhaps, nowhere else can one find such a representative collection of Western Ghats biodiversity - more than 1000 species of flowering plants which include about 110 species of orchids, more than 34 species of mammals, about 200 species of butterflies, 400 species of moths, 128 species of beetles of which 10 are new to science, about 150 species of birds including almost all the 16 endemic birds of southern India.
Rock Garden
The Rock Garden at Malampuzha, the second such garden in the country, is in a dilapidated condition owing to poor maintenance. The concept of a rock garden in Malampuzha emerged from the master creator Nek Chand Saini, who created the first rock garden of the country in Chandigarh. The uniqueness of the Malampuzha Rock Garden is that it was made from waste materials. It has a gallery of statues made of waste materials and wall decorations put up with industrial and domestic non-perishable waste, besides artificial mountains, waterfalls, caves, etc.
