    Beautiful Avalanche Lake.

    It is indeed a good lake to visit. Just that you are not allowed to go into the water for reasons that it is situated in the forest range.

    Beauty. marred by poor access

    The lake by itself is a wonderful piece of nature. Unfortunately, the view was marred by the vegetation all around. The access road was horrible and with the forest guard preventing any stops on the way, the experience was sublime. Perhaps there is a better...More

    Nice place for some quality time

    This place remains closed on every monday. Opt for van/bus tour which costs 150 rs per person rather than jeep tour. Very calm and beautiful place to spend good time.

    Lush green tour by the Forest Dept

    We booked the jeep of Forest Dept. The first stop was the Shola view point. The trees like green Cauliflowers. The next stop was near the Bhavani amman temple. The last stop was the upper bhavani lake.
