We visited this place on the jeep when it was raining and the entire place was cloudy. We did walk around the muddy water to go to the viewpoint but not much we could view.

The eco park at the view point was quite an experience! A visit is a must to this site. Not very far too.

This is a high spot around 30-40 mins from Thekkady from where you can see the Tamil Nadu landscape , cumbum and theni areas and the periyar range.
While the view is exciting there is anything more that I wish to write. The same spot has an ayurvedic garden..Now those reading this please ensure that you go to this garden. We spent nearly 2 hrs inside this garden thanks to biju Menon the caretaker of this garden who agreed to take us through and explain each tree/plant and it's medicinal properties.
I saw the Australian fig, the rudraksh tree, a Chinese lantern tree, Jamaican spices tree and many more that you don't get to see generally. The Chinese Lantern plant is a must see for I am sure you have never seen something like this.
Take time and go there is a lot of learning here. We enjoyed it and also collected some seeds that we will be planting in our home garden.

It is a very lovely view point. It comes in the border of Kerala and Tamilnadu. A small deviation from Munnar - Thekkady route will take you to this point or if you opt for a jeep safari this point can be included. It gives a bird's eye view of Tamilnadu farms, landscape etc. After rains there is an amazing view of a water fall. Best time to visit is evenings after 4:30 pm.

The view point marks the border mountains overlooking the plains of Tamil nadu. Amazing view from the top view station.
Recommended to go after mid mornings as the fog gets lifted up and the view becomes clear.
A small garden is there at the site where one can relax in the shades.

Nothing much exciting. If you have more time after Thekkady visit, visit here. a binocular is set there to see tamil nadu. Its Kerala Tamilnadu border. An old Kovil can be seen there. Thats why the name came, chellar kovil.

Very peaceful place. View is superb from watch tower which gives you to look at Tamil Nadu & kerala border. We had gone here during sunset time and it was the best view we had. There is a narrow lane going down further for more views but its unsafe for girls post 5 pm. Ofcourse, nature makes you feels so calm.
